Anyway, some specifications from Bugatti...  0-100kmh (60mph) in 2.5 seconds, 0-200kmh in 7.3s and 0-300kmh in a touch over 16 seconds...nothing on how long it takes to 400kmh, but see the video above. Fuel consumption under "normal" driving conditions is, I guess OK for this car....40l / 100km in town, 14.7l/100 out of town and an average of 24l/100km ... which is approximately 12mpg. Fuel tank capacity is 100 litres. But overall not bad for a W16 8 litre engine with all-wheel drive, four turbo chargers and a potential power output of 1001hp...

the price...about 1.1 million UK pounds.....Wikipedia as ever has more details...as a set of tyres costs 25,000 USD, I 'm wondering how much for a winter set?

Dear Santa,
    please please please please please please please, it is cheaper than the A380 - and easier to park....
