Bugatti's Latest Veyron, Most Ridiculous Car on the Planet?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the gas-guzzlers-that-make-your-eyes-bleed dept.

Wired has an amusing writeup that accurately captures the most recent ridiculous addition to Bugatti's automobile catalog. The $2.1 million Veyron sports over 1,000 horsepower, a 16-cylinder engine, and a top speed of 245 mph. The guilty conscience comes for free. "That same cash-filled briefcase could buy seven Ferrari 599s or every single 2009 model Mercedes. You could snap up a top-shelf Maybach and employ a chauffeur until well past the apocalypse. Hell, in this economy, $2.1 million is probably enough to make you a one-man special-interest group with some serious Washington clout."

    The Ferrari FXX is faster and better performing than the Bugatti Veyron. Just saying.

    I'm fairly sure I disagree with your disagreement. Wait, what are we talking about again?
