Don't know why Bugatti built such a slow car to start with and I doubt you would notice the extra 200bhp in such a barge. Especially now the Veyron has stiff competition from two new arrivals!

Hennessey Venom GT twin turbo running 1200 bhp & top speed of 272 mph

The Dagger's estimated performance figures are astonishing. It has been mathematically computed that the car will run under 6.7 seconds and over 200 mph in the quarter mile and less than 1.5 seconds for the zero-to-sixty record.

But I'd be amazed if the car achieves these performance figures and further more remain reliable.

IMO the veyron was allways down on power

the other 2 cars are fantastic BUT if money was no object i would go with the veyron as it looks like a more (dare i say it) day to day car, you know what i mean? a car you could go to the maccy d's drive throu in
