Also from the Concours, a 2008 Bugatti Veyron.

8.0 Litre - 16 Cylinder
1001 Horsepower - Quad Turbo
Mid Engine - All-Wheel Drive
0-60 MPH - 2.5 Seconds
Top Speed - 253 MPH
Base price - Approximately US $1.4 Million Shocked Shocked

I was lucky: I approached the area of current exotic supercars at the
end-time of the show, while the ropes were being dropped in preparation
for moving the cars out of the display area. This allowed me to get rather
up-close and personal to a supercar I never expected to see in person,
and I never expect to have the opportunity again.

I prefer it in red, that's what mine is. Rolling Eyes

Nice pictures, all three sets. Yes, a show of this kind is a challenge to shoot.

My thanks to you, Greg.

The challenge certainly diminishes when the ropes fall and the crowds head for the exits, as was the case with this Bugatti. Very Happy

It's one ugly mother of a car, but that engine...
I'd take that engine and just sit it in my lounge and gaze at it.

I believe it is actually two engines (I would certainly expect at least two for that price). Top Gear did a great review of it a few months ago. It seems to uphold the great old Bugatti name.

It's a single unit, a W16. Conceptually it can be envisaged as two V8s, but once you put a common crankcase and crankshaft in it bears as much relation to a V8 as a V8 does to a single-cylinder lawnmower.
W-configuration engines aren't new, indeed they go way back to the 20s/30s in aviation, but they weren't too successful back then.
