But if I ever had the money (which is extreamly unlikely) and I could actually find one of the few getting around to buy (which is extreamly unlikely) then I would get one of these as it meets the criteria to that song mentioned above.
You need the best part of $2,000,000 to even look at buying one of these. Its the fastest legal car in the world, with a what they call a W16 driving the wheels (2 V8's put together). It makes over 1000hp and has a top speed of over 400km/h, It will also get you to 100Km/h from stand still in about 2.5 seconds.
Of course I talking about the Bugatti
here it is:

By the way this car is actually a very good price considering VW (who built it) is actually losing money on them, they basically said that they only built them to prove they could do what they said they were going to do. And that was to build the fastest street car in the world.
oh by the way it has 4 turbos as well and 10 radiators to cool not just the engine but the turbos and the wing which is hydraulically controlled.
cheers![]()
I have always loved them, they look mean in the rear mirror... but this one seems to mix a softer side in but still keep it aggressive... very nice IMO. I have mates with an evo 4 and 3 that have pushed 420kw and 290kw respectively at all four wheels, not at the engine!! .... so if this one is ment to be better all round then there will be some beasts out there ready to chew up those so called aussie muscle cars... not that the Evo's couldn't do it off the showroom floor anyway!theasxgorilla said:Lancers, IMO, have been less than pretty in the past, but make up for sexiness with performce. The new EVO is BOTH...very hot looking car.

How many women know anything about cars or are able to tell the difference between a datsun and a maserati?
Just kidding![]()
You learn how far you can push them before they break traction but evos are pretty good at keeping it in the first place.....sam76 said:geez how do they keep traction?
Saw a cartoon some time ago (which I can't find now) that showed 4 or 5 fancy sports cars parked up against the wall of a building. A sign on the wall above them said "Penis Enlargement Clinic".YOUNG_TRADER said:Why is it when people talk about nice cars, some talk about the Penis?

byt your right, if they wanted to lay 4wd tyre marks they could do that easily. haha.... its quite a sight![]()
The biggest beast that any of my mates ever had was a Skyline that had quite a bit spent on it (well over 100k, the car cost 70k just to buy in the first place).
Anyway, it ended up pulling about 620kw at all four... words cant explain this thing, You almost had to be mad to drive it!!!
Just to put this is perspective, this car probably would have beat the Bugatti, at least in a straight line anyway. Now I know thats a big call but this car was all but a drag car.... it was driven on the street but probably belonged on the drag strip. I estimate that it would have had around 700kw at the engine (at the time) which would be 938hp... not far off bugatti's claim ay?
however this was really pushing its limits as it endend blowing on the dyno at Autosalon in Sydney.... needless to say the owner was pissed considering he had been talking it up. But from there he just simply ordered an engine from a workshop in japan with the whole box and dice. Too much money!
EDIT: just thought that I would add one funny thing.... when the skyline blew up on the dyno it still managed to pull about 290kw from memory... thats more at the 4 wheels (of a blown car) then holden can claim at the engine on their V8's!
