How would you describe the most amazing car in the world?

  • The car with the most horsepower?
  • The car with the fastest top speed and acceleration?
  • The most expensive car?

At the moment, it looks like the Bugatti Veryon has it all:

  • A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
  • A top speed of 250mph + (400kph +)
  • A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
  • A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
  • A sticker price somewhere in the $1.2 million range

Bugatti, owned by Volkswagen, can only produce one Veyron per week in its newly built factory in France.  The company will discontinue creating this beautiful monster once it hits 300 orders. 

“Now that the car has become real as opposed to virtual, the interest has been absolutely tremendous,” said Georges Keller, Bugatti’s head of communications.  The Veryon took seven years to build.  And you only have a limited amount of time to get your hands on one.
