Super Veyron
At some point, someone is going to have to hand the minds at Bugatti a physics book and tell them to settle down. Automobile reports the monarch of the Volkswagen stable is out to eclipse its own ludicrous performance threshold by building a new Super Veyron capable of snapping to 60 mph in 1.8 seconds. How? The company plans to shove even more carbon fiber at the ultracar while also turning up the horsepower. Rumor has it the machine will boast either an 8.0- or 9.6-liter W16 engine good for 1,600 horsepower, which should be enough to nudge the vehicle's top end from 259 mph all the way to 288 mph. All told, the Über Veyron will hold a 550-pound advantage over its predecessor for a power to weight ratio of 2.2 lb/hp. How much will one of these things cost you? Expect to pony up $2.5 million for the privilege of ownership. That is, if it makes it to production. |

Guess they got tired of seeing all these 1,500 awhp TT Lambos, Ford GTs and GT-R's roasting the "base" Veyron's performance figures. A UGR Gallardo build seems cheap at 250-300K total compared to 2.5 million!

Ugly but fast. It seems like VW has finally found a balance between power and weight that make its looks a non-issue. Good Job!!!!
