Bugatti Veyron supercar - review

The rumors and speculation has been flying around for years about the Bugatti Veyron super car but its time has come and Fariz Zainal of ISTAC, IIUM has an excellent review. At $1.4 million dollars you would expect an absolutely magnificent car and it looks like Bugatti has delivered in spades. This land rocket produces 1001bhp and is capable of reaching 253mph leaving the good old McLaren F1 in its dust. Just to emphasize this Fariz makes a good comparison between the two cars "You might point out at this juncture that the McLaren F1 could top 240mph, but at that speed it was pretty much out of control. And anyway it really isn’t in the same league as the Bugatti. In a drag race you could let the McLaren get to 120mph before setting off in the Veyron. And you’d still get to 200mph first. The Bugatti is way, way faster than anything else the roads have seen."

This thing is truly an engineering marvel!
