The Bugatti Veyron

Posted by michael on from the conspicuous-consumption dept.

An anonymous reader writes "OK, most /.ers cannot afford the Veyron, but reading this article at HowStuffWorks is still fascinating. How do you fit 1,000 horsepower into a compact engine? How do you keep a passenger car on the road at 250+ MPH? The article links to a set of videos on the Veyron engine that are also very good. Are there any cars out there better than this?" There's also a story by Popular Science.

    At those speeds, shouldn't it have wings rather than wheels?

    BTW, FP.
