On the 2001 Frankfurt Auto Show, when the brand new Lamborghini Murcielago was unveiled, Bugatti performed another trick, they showed the, what they say, final prototype of the Veyron 16/4, using an 8-Liter W16 engine with four turbo's, this car could put no less than 1001 Bhp at 6000 rpm on all four wheels with a massive torque of 1250 Nm.
This 'red' Veyron still used the four wheel drive from the first prototype, but that's about all it had in common,
Format : 750 x 525
Size : 66 Kb
for starters a new seven speed sequential gearbox now was installed, an enlarged wheelbase of 2700 mm gave an overall length of 4466 mm, still 1996 mm wide and only 1206 mm high, this Bugatti looked fast and furious, but would it perform too ?
According to Bugatti it will, when they finally start deliveries of this $700,000 car, the customer can be sure he'll end up with the fastest thing on the road, a top speed of 406 Km/h (252,3 Mph) was quoted ! Bugatti will even ship out a special engineer to the owner to perform high speed testing, preparation for a 400 Km/h top speed run will include different programming of the engine electronics and even fitting special Michelin tires, just for this run, afterwards these will again be removed by the engineer.
no your wrong. taken directly from the bugati site
A clear commitment to the technical design parameters: no compromises have been made to the Bugatti Veyrons ambitious technical specifications. The 1001 PS (736 kW) performance, a torque of 1250 Nm (127.4 mkp) at 2200 U/min, the 8.0 W16 64 V engine with four turbochargers and a top speed of over 400 km/h are fixed parameters for series car construction at a standard never before attained.
I am going to suggest somthing to you. can you guess what it is

0-60 in 3.3 secs
The newly developed V8 supercharged engine delivers a handy 626bhp which can launch the SLR to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds.
