Veyron, Schmeyron....

Check out the rumormill here....1350HP, 264 top speed....okay, it's another Veyron, in fact, just an upgrade, but still....quite a leap from what was already an unreal supercar.

They want to stay ahead of the Ultimate Aero. I like this top speed race that's been developing recently.

Depends on which one you are talking about...The "base" Veyron cost I believe 1.4 Million this new one cost 2.9 Million according to a picture at the above link.

Not a fan.


Im nominating this car to compete with the Aztek for ugliest car ever.


My moto: if i dont like the car, why spend money on it?

*ugh* had to remind a friend that last night, when he tried to convince me i'd be more fun to buy a civic and put an LS3 in it, than to buy the camaro...

It may not be the most beautiful car ever (the Audi R8 and Aston Matrin DB9 take that name in my book), but it is a nice looking car IMO. But I tell you what... if i had that kind of money... that thing would be mine in a heartbeat!!!
