Oh dear oh dear!

Fancy featuring this car on a site called How Stuff Works!!!

Almost nothing to do with the Veyron works.

The engine overheats and the engineers cannot get rid of the heat without cutting huge holes in the body.

The car is unstable at speed.

It keeps splitting gearboxes.

It shreds tyres like Italians grate Parmesan.

Its been delayed, yet again.

It does not work - its a dumb stupid fat car.

What is the solution - restrict the power and top speed, is what the management say.

Now why didn't I think of that? Because cutting the power and speed makes it no faster than cars like the Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo, at half the cost. Sounds like a sure fire success, doesn't it.

They do have plans for another, more sensible car, I really hope that it makes sense, Bugatti is one of my favorite brands.
