Dan Neil from WSJ sums up his experience with the new Super Sport
Bugatti Veyron thusly:
"And then, just when other hypercars -- Lambos, Ferraris, Paganis and
even rarer isotopes -- run out of steam, the Super Sport accelerates
harder. This experience quickly exhausts one's supply of Old Norse
oaths and curses and one is reduced to childish wows and holy cows. At
full throttle in the Super Sport, the world comes at you in one
ferocious, howling, soul-shaking, Newtonian sneeze."

okay...but a nut? And 10 minutes is all you get at top speed. Fuel
becomes the issue. 268 mph goes through 10 liters per minute and you
don't get many runs like that out of your tires...at $25,000 a set.
