OT / 1,001 Horsepower!
i've just been reading about the New Bugatti EB 18/4 Veyron.
Set to be the most powerful and the fastest production car ever made. The 16 cylinder engine is twice the size of a Formula 1 car and produces 1,001 HP, it can top 250 mph. it boasts a seven speed computer controlled gearbox and four turbo chargers.

only problem £500,000 British pounds each and there only making 50 per year. That some Volkswagen eh?

Get your orders in quick. www.bugatti-motors.de/engl/
