    Link to review of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport

    "Bugatti offers seven different seat shapes, to accommodate the seven known varieties of billionaire: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride."

    "The acceleration is so immediate you can feel your eyeballs deform under the G-forces."

    "Bystanders vaguely remember seeing a flash of expensive paint a few seconds after you disappear over the horizon"

    Our car crouches down like that one does too, but it is more from fear then excitement LOL.

    That auto would be great for a quick run to the store :D

    i believe they said that the only goal the engineers was to prove they could build a street-legal car that can go 400 km/h, and they make loss on every car sold.
