REVIEW//BUGATTI VEYRON

AlphaMag

What a beautiful car it is, and one of the fastest cars on the planet! Here are it's stats:

- 1001 hp (CRAZY!)
- 922 lb-ft of torque
- Sixteen cylinders, sixty-four valves
- 253 mph top speed (governed)
- Four turbochargers
- 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds
- 0 to 124 mph in 7.3 seconds
- 0 to 186 mph in 16.7 seconds
- $1.3 million

On an episode of Top Gear, they raced an airplane and the Veyron to a certain place and the Veyron actually won! With a slick design, four turbochargers, and 1001 HP engine, this car is ridiculously fast. Be weary though, at a cost of $1.3 mill and only 4 miles per gallon of gas, this baby is no cheap car!

The new crossover will go on sale in the United States and Canada in June 2008, with European sales beginning in the fall. Powered by a 5.0 liter V8, the FX50 delivers 390 horsepower.

Other highlights include a seven-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel double-wishbone suspension, 21-inch wheels designed by Enkei, Continuous Damping Control (CDC) suspension, Rear-Active Steer, and Intelligent Brake Assist.

The driver-oriented cockpit has sport seating and available advanced audio, navigation and entertainment systems — including an 11-speaker Bose-developed audio system, Infiniti Intelligent Key, Intelligent Cruise Control (Full Speed Range), Distance Control Assist (DCA), and Around View Monitor system.

A 3.5-liter (FX 35) or 3.7-liter (FX 37) variant is also expected.

We'll be on the lookout for this one for sure!

Designed by the Canadian company Bombardier Recreational Products, the riding position is similar to that of a motorcycle. The vehicle uses sensors and gyroscopes to balance up to two passengers on a large single wheel whilst driving.
