OOPS... shocking cockup.... it's less than US$1 million... (I was
thinking in Aussie dollars) One million Euro is the price announced
to the Veyron EB 16.4 with the less-powerful 1001 bhp (736 kW)
engine.

Its W-16 engine consists of two very narrow eight-cylinder banks.
With four turbochargers, this 7993cc gasoline direct injection
engine has a maximum torque of 1250 Nm between 2200 and 5500 rpm.
Top speed is 404 kmh (251 mph).

The technology is very similar to that proven at Le Mans by Audi.

Production starts in 2003. Bugatti expect to sell between 300 and
500 of them a year.

A 1200bhp version has been pre-announced.
