Heres an exellent video I saw today, James May of Top Gear takes the Bugatti Veyron to its top speed of 407 km/h, or 252.89 mph around VW's test track in Germany. My fire suit is donned, say what you will but the car is an amazing engineering achievement anyway you look at it 8)

Some cool facts stated in the clip, don't know if they are true but...
- At top speed, it will run out of fuel in 12 minutes
- At top speed, the tires will burst after 15 minutes theoretically
- At top speed, the car ingests as much air in one minute as a human breathes in in four days
