The One and Only Bugatti Veyron
The Veyron is, famously, the world’s fastest car The open-top Grand Sport remains on sale, with the big Bug effectively in the world’s most extravagant runout cycle. True to form, buyers haven’t had to put up with a piffling 1,001bhp for long. Now, Bugatti has announced the Grand Sport Vitesse, which revives the Super Sport’s 1,200bhp engine for a damned good crack at its 267mph top speed. The drive of the Veyron is wide and low, but with the seven-speed paddleshift gearbox and genial power delivery, it’s about as frightening as an space shift to drive normally. It’s not until you really put your foot down that you realise quite how ballistic the Veyron really is: 0–62mph in 2.5 seconds, and more than 250mph top speed.
