Default bored, so i thought i'd share this with ya!

Get these for some figures

The new Bugatti Veyron 16-4
The engine actually produces 3000bhp
1000 bhp is used for cooling the car down
1000 bhp goes down the exhaust
1000 bhp is usable for driving

It produces 1000 lbft torque at 2000 revs.
The car accelerates to 60 in 2 seconds thats faster than rossi's winning moto gp bike.
It accelerates to 70 mph faster than michael schumacers f1 car.
Its maximum speed is officially 254mph but can actually reach around 300 mph. thats faster than an f1 car.
Michelin had to design a special tyre system for the car that actually inflates and deflates the tyres as the car speeds up and slows down to prevent the tyres mis shaping .
The car has active aerodynamics and the air brake can be controlled by the driver for show otherwise it deploys when braking from 200 mph.
At the cars top speed the car is travelling 111metres per second.
The car costs 1.3 million dollars but thats for the 'basic ' car.
You can have it any colour you like as long as its two tone in any combination.
There is launch control not for spectacular starts but because no human driver is clever enough to be able to move the car from standstill under full power.
The DSG gearbox is the only gearbox that can cope with all the power feeding to 4 wheels.It was developed in this country by Ricardo.
The wheelbase shortens by 3 inches under full acceleration.
The car is not a 'race' car and has fully tailored interior with luxury fittings and full equipment.
The car is a limited run and after the final one is completed Bugatti will launch a new car probably a saloon.
The voluntary agreement between bmw and mercedes and vw to limit all their cars to 155mph has been dropped because of this car.
