It was an excellent show..over 1 1/2 million feet of cars...and some 'beaut's too....

LOL...but sweeeeeet....however no place to drive that puppy around here, even if you could come up with ! !/2 million.....0 - 60 in nose bleed time...something like 9 G's....

All gushing aside, this is some serious machinery; an 8.0-liter aluminum W-16 quad-turbo engine?the first and only one of its kind?puts out a mind-blowing 1183 bhp and 1106 lb.-ft. of torque, up from the standard Veyron's 987 bhp and 922 lb.-ft. The power increase comes from larger turbochargers and intercoolers as well as a freer-flowing exhaust, where the rest of the development dollars went into improved aerodynamics and extensive chassis redesigning to maintain safety with the increased speed potential (electronically limited to 258 mph in the interest of tire preservation).
