The latest monster added to the roster is none other than the legendary 1000 hp supreme king of the road, the Bugatti Veyron.
That's right, the car on every kid's bedroom wall for the last 10 years is now patrolling the streets to the sound of W12 force-induced power. If that's not a reason for national pride, we don't know what is.
