Here's how one particular Russian oil baron did it. The man, who happens to actually live in Dubai's Burj Al Arab seven-star hotel, snagged himself a Bugatti Veyron and then decided it was necessary to spend a little bit more money with some pimper of autos who's recycling the name of an old Spanish coachbuilder that worked with Alfa Romeo and Ferrari during the 1950's to boost the output on the machine by an extra 200 horses. That brings the final number to an absolutely ree-dic-u-luss 1200 HP, and we're thinking may even pop that top speed well over the 250 MPH+ mark it's already at -- unless of course it just explodes. But really, our only question here is -- does the man wipe himself on the toilet with hundred dollar bills, or does he pay someone to do that for him? Oh yeah, and the going price we're assuming is significantly more than the $1.2 million for the standard Veyron.

1200BHP? Pffft.

I would still rather have Chris Chows Buick GN. Street legal on a stock chassis.
It did a burnout on the dyno while testing and still laid down 1076hp at the wheels.

Twin turbo v-6 power owns all.

Video Chris Chow No

So how abouts Jay Leno's tank car hot rod. Jay Leno's Garage: Now That's A Hot Rod - Popular Mechanics Originally made 810hp and 1560ftlbs of torque from a 1790 cubic inch Continental air-cooled v-12.

Well it's getting a twin turbo upgrade and they expect the motor to make 1,600hp and 3,000ftlbs of torque. Leno's Tank Car Gets Twin Turbos - Popular Mechanics
