A few Bugatti Veyron facts!
1.) Flat out, its turbos will suck in more air than the driver will breath in 4 days.
2.) For a set of replacement tires you will pay $17,000 USD.
3.) After its factory test drive, its put in a light tunnel, and hand cleaned and polished 2 days...then put under its specially built cover and shipped to its customer.
4.) Its front and rear frame, as well as gas tank are built out of air craft grade stainless steel, and welded using the same methods as on airplanes.
5.) The air brake alone provides 70% of what a normal cars disk brakes provide on the road.
6.) Its disk brakes are made of high tech Carbon, Ceramic and titanium.
7.) It can go from its top speed of 253mph, to 0 in nearly 10 seconds.
8.) Its wing has a sensor which tells it what degree to tilt at for optimum stability at various speeds...if this sensor malfunctions, the car looses all stability at high speeds and a safe braking from high speeds to 0 will be extremely dangerous and could result in total loss of control.

Here is another one, the Veyrons engine actually makes around 3000hp but 2000hp is lost due to heat/drivetrain/cooling, a replacement transmission for a Veyron costs $120,000. I just saw the making of the Veyron and the car is such a technical marvel and achievement. There has never been nor will there ever be a car like it.
