This is a short, but interesting article about the history of the Veyron.

I liked this paragraph:
The crowning achievement of this car, in my eyes, is what Gordon Murray said about it after driving the final version of the car - this appeared in Top Gear Magazine: "One really good thing, and I simply never expected this, is that it does change direction. It hardly feels its weight. Driving it on a circuit I expected a sack of cement, but you can really throw it at tight chicanes. Breaking is phenominal and the primary ride and control are good too. It's a huge achievement".

I still don't like that car.
