I was reading about this. It's so fast that if you drove it upside down it would stick to the ceiling.

It has a quad turbo W16 alloy engine that produces 1001 horsepowers and 923 lb-ft of tourque. The engine design uses the VR principle with two eight-cylinder blocks arranged at a 90° angle to each other. It goes 0-200 mph in 14 seconds.

I'm more intrigued by this one.

Its 4 secs to 60, but requires no gasoline and is wholly electric.
It costs about 1 cent per mile to run.

Why? You'd never go over 20mph, because rush hour loves you.

10mpg highway? Sign me up!

Wow. That electric car is sick.

My Murano is under 8 seconds to 60MPH.

Read a Cars Magazine article on it while back. One thing they mentioned is if you ran at its top speed you'd run out of gas in 12 minutes.

And to think... Volkswagen owns Bugatti :ugh:

But I guess if you're buying a 1.3 million dollar car, gas and gas prices is the least of your concerns.

Volkswagen also owns Audi, Bentley, and Lamborghini beside Bugatti. Porsche owns 25 percent of Volkswagen.
