A rather sad accident in one of these beauties was in the news yesterday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/nol/ukfs_news/...00/6422215.stm with some additional pictures here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/6423241.stm

Funny the third paragraph notes there is a driver, just like many SUV stories. It's sort of like "Bugatti suckers driver into crashing."

"The eight-litre, hand-crafted Veyron has a top speed in excess of 250mph. The 1,000 horsepower Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds."

I can't wait untill MINI comes out with the "fast" option. Just insert and turn the key! She'll squat down suck in the mirrors and poof..... gone.......

Almost as fast as my Ducati 0 to 60. 3.5 sec ...... er MINI..... 8.5 sec Yea right!

Tough to decide "weather" to ride or drive sometimes.

10 radiators? I wonder if they were counting intercoolers as radiators?

"getting close to the maximum, which means the tires will only last for about 15 minutes, but it's okay, because the fuel runs out in 12 minutes"

Yes, but there's only one of those . It has 3 coolant radiators, an air to water intercooler, two condensers for the A/C, engine oil cooler, transmission oil cooler, differential oil cooler, and a radiator for the hydraulic spoiler actuator.

It has actually been rated well above 1020, but Bugatti "watered it down" for consistant results.
