Veyron Quiets Critics
After what seemed like an eternity of development following VW's
first announcement of a 1000-hp Bugatti supercar in 2002, the car
has finally reached and exceeded it's promised to speed of 400 km/h
(248.5 mph). Under the watch of the German Homologation
Authority and timed by their precise instruments, the Veyron reached
its max speed multiple times in both directions at VW's Ehra-Lessien
test track, the same spot where Andy Wallace hit 240.1 mph in the
McLaren F1 seven years earlier.
