    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"

    "The tires will only last 15 minutes at this speed. But it's ok, the fuel will run out in 12" :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.
    Coolest car EVER
