Bugatti Veyron: The perfect bachelor's car

A night out with the Bugatti Veyron, something we all dream of.

I wanted to know who buys such a thing and what it's like to own one. So I hitched a ride with Nazarian, who just took delivery of a gorgeous red and black version. If you don't spend time on the Left Coast, you may not have heard of Nazarian - yet. A son of Qualcomm co-founder Younes Nazarian, Sam is 31, ambitious, and on a tear. He's building a network of high-end restaurants, clubs, real estate developments and hotels designed by Philippe Starck.

The Veyron's insane power (1,001 hp and 922 foot-pounds of torque) needs a lot of help to actually get all that oomph to the ground. Hence the weighty components (6,000 pounds' worth), all-wheel drive, four turbochargers, and silky-smooth seven-gear DSG gearbox. Yet the car feels lithe; it begs you with its ease to push its limits. Believe me, you couldn't see those limits with binoculars, no matter how good a driver you are.
