Saw one of these parked outside a casino in Monte Carlo. Was an older version though.


The million bucks you were saving for a new EB16.4 Veyron will soon find a home. Bugatti promises deliveries will begin in 2004 of the first 987-hp, 922-pound-feet, quad-turbocharged, 16-cylinder, four-wheel-drive, 250-mph supercar. Built in Molsheim, France, the carbon-fiber Veyron runs a novel W-16 engine comprised of two narrow-angle V-8 cylinder banks set apart at 90 degrees. A seven-speed sequential manual routes enough power to take the Veyron to 60 mph in about three seconds. Bugatti will build up to 50 units a year of the Veyron, which is named for Bugatti driver Pierre Veyron, who won Le Mans in 1939.
