I saw that Top Gear video...it is insane..A Mclaren F1 could fly by that car at 100mph and the Bugatti at a stand still would still beat it to 200mph!!

I REALLY want to see the top gear episode on it.

P.s: read the comments, they're funny. People talk about how their 9 second cars can beat it, and one guy says it has a v6 or v8.

They can't... it bet it doesn't handle very well. just goes fast in a straight line.
