VW bets big on pricey Bugatti | IndyStar.com

Bugatti Veyron - What do you expect for $1.2 million?

Here's a reprint of a Wall Street Journal article about the most expensive production car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron. What do you get for that much money? How about a 16-cylinder engine with 1001 horsepower! It will accellerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. Top speed is over 250 mph. As the WSJ points out, all of these specs are almost moot, because few owners will drive it. It's too risky.

The good news is that some videogame maker will model this car, and we'll all be able to drive it and wreck it, and drive it and wreck it again, at least in our virtual world.
