Bugatti Veyron

One of the greatest exotic cars ever built, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is by every measure, the world's fastest production road car. It's the quickest to reach 60 and has the highest top speedEven at complete standstill, the car’s enormous power is made visible by its impressive mid-engine, elevated majestically beneath the chassis. Simultaneously, the Veyron’s bold proportions, well-balanced surfaces, and clear line structures give an impression of pure, sleek elegance.

The top speed was verified by James May on Top Gear for the November 2006 issue, again at Volkswagen Group's private Ehra-Lessien test track, where the final-production car hit 407.9 km/h (253.5 mph), which equated to almost one-third of the speed of sound at sea level. As the Bugatti Veyron approached the top speed during the test, May said that "the tyres will only last for about fifteen minutes, but it's okay because the fuel runs out in twelve minutes". He also gave an indication of the power requirements, at a constant 155 mph, the Veyron is using approximately 270 of its 1001 horsepower. The next 100 mph requires 730 additional horsepower.
