How would you define the most amazing production car in the world? Would it be:
  • The car with the most horsepower?
  • The car with the fastest top speed and acceleration?
  • The most expensive car?

At the moment, the Bugatti Veyron appears to have it all:
  • A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
  • A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
  • A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
  • A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
  • A price tag somewhere in the US$1.2 million range.
