Could this be the fastest car in the world?...
Mindless blogging...surfing on the net...Fastest car in the world is the "Bugatti Veyron". It is not part of the Benz class rather the Volkswagon manufacturer. There were 300 vehicles produced in 2006, sold mostly in France and Italy. It's speed can top 400km/hr, and costs about $1.4million, please correct me if I'm wrong. It also has a quad-turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 64-valve W-16, aluminium block and heads, direct fuel injection for its engine. Basically, 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.
From zero to 60 in 2.5seconds...From zero to 100miles per hour, 6 seconds...From zero to 200mph in 22seconds. Although there'd be no point in having this "supercar" in TO as you will never be able to drive it to its full potential. Besides, I don't think anyone would want to spend that kind of money on a car.

The Bugatti uses the Volkswagen W16 engine naturally since it's own by Volkswagen.
At 1001bhp, there's no where to drive this beast of a machine. Perhaps on the autobahn?
Perhaps if you are daring enough, perhaps on the QEW/401 at 3am in the morning??? Although, I don't know if the police cars are out at that time.
Well, the Bugatti would be more suitable to drive in California perhaps, or LA where the weather is more appropriate.
