Bugatti Veyron: Exclusive spy video and photos

We found an older article over at Inside Line with a video of the Bugatti Veyron. Although the title of the article was overtaken by the reality already with the official start of production of the Bugatti Veyron, it's still a nice read and watch.

In the process of tweaking the shape and design of the Veyron, Bugatti has also managed to provide the car with a much more powerful engine than it originally intended. Early specifications for the Veyron's mammoth 8.0-liter W16 listed the vehicle's top speed at a whopping 220 miles per hour. As of May, though, Bugatti claimed that it had squeezed nearly 30 additional mph out of the engine, raising its top speed within a hair's breadth of 250 mph.

Not content to rest on the laurels of a four-figure output for this engine, Bugatti has seen fit to make the Veyron yield 1,001 horsepower.

The lucky 300 individuals able to get their hands on a 2006 Bugatti Veyron will certainly be paying handsomely to do so, as the vehicle is confirmed to go on sale for over a million euros, which translates into more than $1.2 million for American customers.
