Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport

I've never been a big fan of orange on a sports car, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't complain if I could even get remotely in the price range of this car.

The Super Sport has a 16-cylinder  turbocharged engine that has been specially tuned to produce 1,200 hp. That's about 200 more horsepower than the standard model.

All that extra horsepower, along with Bugatti'sofficial test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel, produced a top speed around the track of 265.9 and 269.8 mph. That gives it an average time of 267.81 mph making the car the new  world record holder for a production car.

You can read more about the car, see more pictures, and read the official press release from Bugatti over at the Autoblog HERE.
