I love that car. Good read.

Yep, one mean car, sold for approx 850,000UK pounds. TopGear did a fantastic episode on it (Involved racing the Buggati Veyron against a light 2 person air plane from Italy to London - UK, must see episode).
It puts out insane power and speed.

5 second delay on start up allows "fuel to be sprayed into each of the 16 cylinders and to prime the engine internals with oil. The quad-turbo 8.0-litre W16 engine produces a mammoth 736kW (or 1001 horsepower in old figures) so it needs a little TLC."

lol i love it how it compares with a toyota echo:

We're in the world's fastest car but anyone in a Toyota Echo can beat you out of a car park.

that is true actually Toyota Echo are pretty good on take off it will actually go until it reach maxmuim horsepower than that where Veyron kick in, due to how light the car is and how much the engine is giving in the weight.

Veyron is one you would like just seat in just in the garage and not bring it out at all

European manufacturers need to stop quoting German Pfederstarke as Brake Horsepower, it's a different measurement.

Veyron's got 987bhp, that's 1001 PS, or 736kW. Take your pick, it all means the same thing.

What I like though is the torque curve... 1250Nm @ 2200-5500rpm, 736kW @ 6000rpm, 6600rpm redline.
