Watched the National Geographic channel last night and caught a show called Man Made. This one was on the development, build and testing of the Bugatti Veyron.
- Burns the entire 28 gallon tank in 12 minutes at WOT.
- Uses the same amount of air in 1 minutes - that a human breaths in 4 days.
- Body weights 250 pounds.
Definitely Fabrication Crack Cocaine for most of us here.... Good show that's worth watching when they air it again.
There’s also some video from the show available on their website, along with other info & air-date/times;

"The Bugatti Veyron is a “super” super car - part automobile and part airplane. And with a base price of $1,750,000, it is the most expensive production car in the world. Designed with materials and construction techniques normally found in the aerospace industry, this remarkable engineering achievement is one of the fastest street-legal cars ever built. Now, NGC takes an insider look at the Bugatti factory to see how this modern engineering masterpiece is built."
PS, you guys will dig the build room where they assemble the car - watch the floor panels articulate when they push the front and rear towards the body mid-shell - I want that in my floor....
