Ask and you shall receive! At least as far as 'pictures' of the beast are concerned!

And in a fastest 'road' car test this wins, not a fastest 'kit' car contest!

This was one of the few days I took the car out last year!

[dreaming!] Actually this is Pierre-Henri Raphanel's company car since he is chief road tester for Bugatti, in fact his sole job last year was taking the car all around the world to demonstrate it. At this point, as happy as I am with my life, I could wonder where I went wrong to have such a job!

Incidentally, the Veyron doesn't have a particularly large engine when compared to this!

A 1968 Napier Bentley, powered by a W12 of 24 Litre capacity! Actually, an aircraft engine since options were limited at that time.
