Bugatti Veyron
FLAT out at 250mph, the Bugatti Veyron gets through almost two
gallons of fuel a minute, but after 12 minutes and 48 miles will
shut down and coast to a halt, the petrol tank bone dry.
The worlds fastest and most powerful road car is also one of the
thirstiest. Indeed, this is a car that is all about superlatives,
as it is by some distance the most potent machine designed and
built for the public road.

four turbochargers
