[s-cars] LAC: Bugatti Veyron

[Brian Powell]

Don't know if many of you have come across this car news site:
<http://www.leftlanenews.com>, but they have a snippet from Motor
Trend on the new Bugatti (how many years in the making has that been)?
The highlights confirm that Paul needs this car as his new family
hauler:

* A second key is required to program the car into its top "speed" mode.
* How many other cars are ballsy enough to have a horsepower gauge?
* The top of the engine is exposed; there's no glass or other cover.
* It'll score you the best parking place at any restaurant anywhere in
the world.
* The audio system costs $30,000
* Switch the stability control off, and it'll spin all four wheels in
third gear.
* Going 0-to-250 mph takes less than a minute.
* At full throttle in seventh gear, the Veyron gets less than three mpg.
* What looks like a secondary rear spoiler is in fact an air brake.
* Bugatti Requires a deposit of more than $350,000 just to place an order.


Cheers,
