As if it wasnt fast enough. You know I dont mind. Might actually pick up asphalt too with all that power.
Just as Bugatti is increasing Veyron output from 50 to 70 cars annually at its plant in Molsheim, France, word is the Volkswagen-owned marque is already planning an even higher-performance version of the expensive two-seater.
With the first Veyron deliveries just getting started, Automotive News reports Bugatti president Thomas Bscher wants to up production to cut the 14- to 15-month waiting time for the car. At the same time plans are afoot to create an even more lim-ited-production Veyron for 2007 featuring an upgraded version of the 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that will produce 1250 hp, up from 987 hp. Sources say that should raise top speed from 252 mph to 275 mph.

Happily, stopping distances become irrelevant because you won’t see the obstacle in the first place. By the time you know it was there, you’ll have gone through the windscreen, through the Pearly Gates and be half way across God’s breakfast table. - Jeremy Clarkson in review of Bugatti Veyron
I wonder if the driver will now end up in God's stomach instead.

I'm the opposite of those people. I am more of a modern day kinda car guy actually. The newer the better(not like the F1 is that old, but you understand what I mean. )

Could this be the new Super Veyron during some testing?!?! Notice the extra side vent and the conventional manual transmission. Probably a weight reduction too. Out of control.

That's an interesting test mule for sure, but how can those front side vents be functional when the engine is behind the driver?
