Few drivers would be able to handle what Bugatti is offering. It’s ridiculous. The 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 on display at the Chicago Auto Show has an 8-liter, QUAD-turbocharged (who needs twins), 16-cylinder engine with four-wheel drive. It explodes 1,001 horsepower that reaches beyond 250 mph. It can go 0-62mph faster than you can read this sentence. 2.6 seconds. If that’s not ridiculous enough, the 2014 makes 1,200 horsepower and hits 62mph in 2.5 seconds. Its Formula 1-adpated safety features stop the car from 60 mph to zero in 2.3 seconds. Ridiculous. - chicago tribune
