The Bugatti Veyron is built by Volkswagen, and features an 8.0L 16-cylinder quad-turbo engine that puts out a shade over 1,000 horsepower. Here some impressive numbers stolen from Wikipedia.

Zero to 60 mph (97 km/h): 2.5 s
Zero to 100 mph (161 km/h): 5.4 s
Zero to 150 mph (241 km/h): 9.3 s
Zero to 200 mph (322 km/h): 20.2 s
Zero to 250 mph (402 km/h): 55 s

Please watch this video. James May from Top Gear takes a Veyron up to 407 km/h on VW's test track. The piece is really well done and very interesting.

(Also, some idiot crashed one into a Vauxhalll van in the UK)

Man, the fastest I've ever driven is about 200 km/h (125 mph) while delivering pizza in a Nissan Access, and it was a huge rush and kinda scary. I couldn't imagine driving twice that fast.
