    Bugatti Sends Veyron 16.4 Into Production

    After much hype, delay, and crashes they are finally set to build the beast.
    1001BHP. If it can do it, it will be the fastest production car ever made.

    Numerology? Palindromic number? Definitive @ a thousand and one, more than a thousand? Cultural or mystical significance, 1001 Arabian Nights? Superstition? Magic? Some palindromes that lead to success in the auto industry: CIVIC, read the same forward or backwards. Also, 'A TOYOTA' reads 'ATOYOT A'. Toyota was originally Toyopet, not very palindrome friendly. Good question!

    Mystery and mystique? It's already started with the release. When, why, how, where, etc?

    NAAHHH i don't think so...
    Man this car weights almost 2 tons and got a W16!
    How can this car join the CCR with 1180kg and a V8?

    Top speed-wise it will join those, but with accelaration it'll outdo the McLaren F1, putting it on par with the CCR I believe. It carries less pounds per horse than the F1 too. Now we could have a tried if only Chyrsler....I mean...
    I can't wait for some reviews to pop up...It'll be quite a comparison for both the CCR and 16.4 Veyron to be in an article...[/badgrammar]

    its turbochargers, not superchargers, wonder why they got it like that in that 1 website, but they look driven by exhaust rather than a pulley.

    anywayz, i wouldn't mind an AWD with 1001bhp.
