Bugatti Veyron, it does 0 - 60 in 2.5 seconds!

This Bugatti Veyron 16.4, was driven by one lucky automotive editor, Eric Adams. The $1.3-million dollar car tops out at 250 MPH, has a W16 1,001 HP engine and does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

He described the experience:

"Your head doesn't bob at each gear change—you can't even feel it happening. It just goes, like a rocket sled. There's a gauge on the dash that shows how much horsepower you're using at any given moment, from 0 to 1001 horses. At full boogie, in triple-digit speeds, the effect is thunderous.

To get a sense of how priviledged Popular Science Magazine was (and I was) to get this ride, consider: The company sold 30-minute drives at a charity auction recently for $10,000, and 12 people bought them.

Perhaps best of all, the car has a hypnotizing effect on onlookers. Everywhere we stopped, a crowd gathered. Truck drivers knew it by name: "That the Vy-rin?" I stopped counting cell phone cameras after ten minutes. At the end we drove down Mulholland drive, then through Malibu, and I felt like a complete rock star. Article here.
