You know, there's actually something about this that I sort of like:

It's like a 2 door, high proformance limo that can go 200mph!! [cheeky]
What're the benefits of the huge chunk missing from one of the front tires? [cheeky]
Yeah...not one of the better Photoshop jobs I have seen... [laugh]
[laugh] That's funny! I didn't even notice that!!!

No, that wasn't directed at you.
That just made me think of those videos.

I'm puking in my mouth a little bit as I type this... [puke]
The actual Veyron is pretty friggin badass though. 0-100-0 mph in 8.6 seconds. I say again: Standstill to 100mph and back to a dead stop in 8.6 seconds. It has an "everyday" top speed of 233 mph, with an absolute top speed averaging 253mph. There is a key by the driver seat that must be turned on prior to the car moving that allows and prepares the car for an all out top speed run:
The car's everyday top speed is listed at 375 km/h (233 mph). When the car reaches 220 km/h (137 mph), hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 8.9 cm (3½ inches). At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. This is the "handling mode", in which the wing helps provide 3425 newtons (770 pounds) of downheft, holding the car to the road.[13] The driver must, using a special key (the "Top Speed Key"), toggle the lock to the left of his seat in order to attain the maximum (average) speed of 407 km/h (253 mph). The key functions only when the vehicle is at a stop, when a checklist then establishes whether the carâ€"and its driverâ€"are ready to enable 'top speed' mode. If all systems are go, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers shut and the ground clearance, normally 12.5 cm (4.9 in), drops to 6.5 cm (2.6 in).

That Tyrrell P34 was a cool idea. Smaller frontal area, more rubber on the track... and if one front tire failed there were still 3 others.
