Tuned Veyron!!
Hopefully not a repost
"What do you do when you're not happy with your 1,001bhp, 253mph Bugatti Veyron? Add more oomph.
A super-rich businessman - thought to be a Russian oligarch - has had his bespoke Bugatti's power boosted to a reported 1,200bhp.
These high quality pictures appeared on BMW forum E46 fanatics and show the burgundy over cream parked outside a Dubai shopping mall.
But when a car is this powerful, adding the equivalent of a Volkswagen Golf GTi under the hood won't increase performance that much.
We reckon the vamped-up Veyron will hit 60mph in about 2.3 seconds and have a top speed of 260mph - compared to 2.5 seconds and 253mph.
Modified by Spanish coachbuilders Pegaso, the Veyron has a slightly altered interior and bears the registration plate C1.
Other alleged vehicles in the owner's multi-million pound stable include a 207mph McLaren Mercedes SLR, 214mph Pagani Zonda, 196mph Ferrari F430, 205mph Lamborghini Murcielago and Hummer H2.
The lucky owner is also the only person to live permanently in the world's only seven-star hotel - Dubai's achingly amazing Burj al Arab where rooms typically cost Pounds2,000 per night."
