Just another car for high-schoolers to pin up on their walls.

There is going to be a Bugatti Veyron gt with 1350bhp coming out soon. I wouldn't be too excited about this car just yet.

These cars are crazy. The only people that buy these things are rappers and professional football players. Not practical - how many on-street places can you actually really push these vehicles to their full potential.

This is the car for hardcore racers.
The Bugatti is a racing car.

Jay Leno explained it all very well.

This thing's quite ugly, isn't it?

It seems the American sports car mentality is to add more HP to a car so it goes faster in a straight line. The British seem to favor light chassis and handling over HP in their sports cars. I just wonder about the drivability of a car like this. Sure it's fast, but is that all that's important? I'm sure someone will buy if only to say they own the current "world's fastest" (semi) production car.
I recall seeing a video on the Veyron being driven past 200 mph on a track. The commentator said that its tires are rated for that speed for only 30 minutes, but you didn't have to worry because the gas would run out long before that..
