    veyron goes on sale later in the year..

    i'm dissapointed. no 1000bhp and no 1000 torquey things. surely when you've got up to 950 the extra 50 isnt *much* more effort?

    Limited by temperature problems and reliability, vw made it pass exactly the same endurance and reliabilty tests as its passats/golfs and the like, something most hypercars would ever be put through.

    The flip side to your question is, when you have 987bhp and 0-200 in 14ish seconds (maclaren F1 did that in around 25secs) do you need that extra 14bhp

    Weeeeeeeeak.... it's lost so much of it's marketing appeal without the 1000HP thing.
