In terms of sheer speed, power and history-making levels of engineering excess, the Bugatti Veyron is a success. Bugatti’s parent, Volkswagen, set out to build the fastest production car in the world, and it did. There is a photo of the thing right there in the 2007 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, under the heading, Fastest Production Car. It is said to achieve a top speed of 253 miles an hour, and that’s faster than any production car ever.

Buy one in a country where the speed limit is 65? (OK, right, it's not really 65. Nobody knows what it really is. And how much sense does that make? But - I'm just thinking here - it's probably somewhere under 150. Or so.)
