Default Fastest Production Car-Video

Guys, thought you might enjoy watching this. It's a clip from Bugatti's new 16 cylinder Veyron, the fastest production car in the world. Watch as they get this thing up to 254 mph. Pay attention to the engineering behind this vehicle, it's unreal. This car has more radiators than most cars have cylinders! At this speed, tires burn up in 15 minutes and they report the fuel tank will run dry in 12 minutes. Enjoy!!

Your coupe becomes a convertible and Prancer has to be officially removed from every Christmas song ever written.

thats kinda funny. tires would die in 15 minutes at top speed, but the car runs out of fuel in 12 minutes at top speed.
i guess i'll just remember not to do that when i drive a bugatti next time.

That was very impressive! However I think there is a Shelby model that has taken the top speed record away from the bugatti. I'll have to find out what it's called for sure.
