Lookee lookee was "New Scirocco"!!



While on the topic of future VWs...lets just pretend THIS is supposed 
to be the "new scirocco"....Ok, so its a Bugatti, but its built by VW, 
and its the fastest production car...so...Its obvious it was originally 
intended to be a scirocco. haha

ok, so maybe its old news, but I still cant get enough of it. Video too!

if you dont want to read the article, heres the good stuff...

A worthy successor to the elegant and powerful Bugattis of the past, 
the Veyron 16?4 is powered by a 1001-horsepower W16 quad-turbocharged 
8.0-liter engine with all-wheel drive. Bugatti claims this new super 
car will reach a speed of 252 mph. Acceleration is also impressive?the 
Veyron can reach 180 mph in just 14 seconds!

clearly a scirocco wannabe   :^)
