Want to know the top speed of the new Bugatti Chiron? Of course you do.

Some people absolutely love washing their cars. It’s a sign of their affection, a sign of their ownership, a sign of them being entirely too anal about something that’s literally made to get dirty.

Have you ever used Pluto’s gravity field to slingshot your screaming carcass into a black hole? Have you ever been a projectile in a trebuchet? Well, I have because I drove a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.

There are few cars in this world that can keep up with a Bugatti Veyron. Most of those that can, cost many millions of dollars, and are only for the rich and privileged. However, there are some out there that have much more humble beginnings.

When you get into the cockpit of a supercar, one thought immediately lands in your head, “oh no, I’m going to jail.” After you come to grips with your impending doom and rather awkward encounters in prison, one other thought enters your head, “where’s the nearest tunnel?” And it’s that question that I want to highlight today.

As the Bugatti Veyron aged, it continued to use its unusual W16 power plant as other manufacturers, such as Porsche and McLaren, adopted hybrid power for their flagship offerings. It seems that will change when Bugatti replaces the Veyron with a new model.

So, by now, everyone and their mother knows what the Bugatti Veyron is. It was a concorde moment in time. An Apollo moon landing among the automotive world.
