It was on the new Top Gear that came out yesterday. James May (the driver) did it at the VW test track in Germany, the straight portion was like 5 miles long. That Bugatti is one badass mother f***er! He said at that speed he was covering a football field every second! 16 cylinders and 4 turbos = fast.

Sorry it had to be streetfire, but this is the vid. There's a 700 meg torrent if you really want to see the whole episode.

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...cc006382e1.htm

wikipedia on the car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron

"The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders, or the equivalent of two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a "V" configuration"

They claim 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and 0-100 in 5.5 s. Crikey! lol
