...is no longer the Ferrari F1.
It is the[glow=red,2,300] Bugatti Veyron [/glow]at 407 KPH (253 MPH)
This video is amazing, a dramatic production even if you aren't a car aficionado!
www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/veyron/video/x157l2_bugatti-veyron-at-top-speed
From Wikipedia:
The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders, or the equivalent of two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a "W" configuration. Each cylinder has 4 valves, for a total of 64, but the narrow V8 configuration allows two camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only 4 camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers, and it displaces 8.0 L (7,993 cc/488 in³) with a square 86 by 86 mm bore and stroke.
The Bugatti Veyron has a total of 10 radiators.
3 radiators for the engine cooling system. 1 heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers. 2 for the air conditioning system. 1 transmission oil radiator. 1 differential oil radiator. 1 engine oil radiator. 1 hydraulic oil radiator for the spoiler.

Holy crap - hate to think of what would be left if he crashed! - that is awesome!, but honestly what would the average job blo need to go that fast for?
You hope that he doesn't hit a rock of sorts & get a flat - that would be one hellofa crash!

Yeah I didn't think it was the prettiest car either, the machinery surrounding it is the beautiful part I guess. I am a Porsche guy, before I die I will own a Porsche. If only for a year. Currently the new Carerra's would be my choice. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
