I'd hit it... with my truck :)
You'd have to catch it first...

I'm pretty sure my truck gets better gas milage :p

Either way, I'd just find it when it was parked. Unless it has some sort of uber-computer that detects incoming projectiles and avoids them automatically... which I assume the car does for that amount of $$ :D

That wouldnt be too hard... considering how people who buy supercars like these rarely take them up to the speed limit... :confused:

I meant F1 and is in F1-like performance, not necessarily design. And it would be a very cool race. I'd rather be in the Veyron though... more comfortable :)

How they hell are they getting those type of acceleration numbers? AWD? I mean 0-60 in 2.9s and 0-187 in 14s... unless I'm calculating wrong, that's a constant forward acceleration rate of 0.61g :Q to 187mph!! :Q :Q :Q

The car better come with 20 point seatbelts, neckbrace, full body cast, and helmet.
I am sure that is kilometers, a still impressive 0 - 186mph in 14.4 seconds.

It would easily be able to hit 60 in second gear, so only one change would be needed.

I dont know if you have seen the movie Bedazzled, but if satan is Liz Hurley, I have no problem with that. In fact, two birds with one stone. Liz Hurley and Bugatti Veyron!

I could take it, up to about 250 or so. Then the extra $2 million dollars would pull on me pretty good. :)
With all that power, they're gonna sell those things like hotcakes(relative to the price) on specs alone!

Lambo Diablo can do 69 in 1st gear... I'm sure that the Bugatti can handle that in 1st as well.

The grill is a Bugatti styling clue like the BMW and Alfa grills.
Can we get a nick change here from Dr. Smooth to Dr. Obvious??? Thanks mods.

Yep truly sick. I think its top speed is rated a little over 250 mph...

Good lord, tops that "sledgehammer" Vette that tops the list at supercars.com. Plus this looks way cooler heh. I want to see some interior shots of the non sport version.

Yeah, F1's are crazy fast, and have amazing handling. But in a straight line...heh My accord 0wnz them all! :p
