Given the superlative nature and awesome speed of Bugatti’s already
legendary, 250-plus mph Veyron supercar, interest in the manufacturer’s
follow-up is intense. The company had previously gone on record as
saying that its next model wouldn’t be a supercar, but details were
scant — until now. In a recent article from the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer confirms that the new car will be in the vein of the controversial [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],

800HP is still pretty good. I guess for what your spending you might expect a little more power! But if someone wanted to give me one.....I would take it!

Hey 800hp will keep the kids in the back seat all the time...lol

How much HP does the Veyron have? Its over 1000 I think?



Not many kids get picked up from school in a 800hp sedan.
