If you haven’t already seen this video, then you’re in for a treat as the UK’s Top Gear program tests the top speed of the 16 cylinder, 1001 horsepower Bugatti Veyron on a five and a half mile straight.
The magic number they are looking for is an astounding 253mph/407km/h, which, out of interest, is faster than an F1 racing car and is the equivalent of covering the entire length of a full football pitch every second – so fast that the Veyron’s tyres will only last for fifty minutes.
Does the Veyron deliver? What the video below to find out.

Simply amazing!! Not to much else to say besides that
I must admit, I’m not really a car person (more into bikes) but this car is something else - though the T1 also featured on this site probably comes out on top for me.
