We are too, especially given that this all-wheel-drive exotic is the fastest production car we've ever tested (February 2007). And it's pretty well known that one of Molsheim's missiles hit 253 mph at Volks-wagen's Ehra-Lessien track in Germany. Although Lemoore doesn't have the room for an absolute top-speed test in the Bugatti, the Veyron still puts on a great show. Sounding as if it's powered by a whirring jet engine, the Veyron launches with such authority that Millen says he can actually feel the skin tighten on his face. What's more, for an instant on the first launch, the force is so strong that he momentarily loses visual acuity. That's scary quick. After experimenting with power-braking the takeoff and ensuring that Launch Control and Top Speed mode are both properly engaged (the latter via a separate key on the driver's-side doorsill), Millen makes some good runs. With brake and throttle depressed simultaneously, the engine builds boost as it revs to about 4700 rpm. At that point Millen releases the brake and keeps the Veyron's throttle floored for the remainder of the run, letting the 7-speed DSG gearbox upshift as needed and the traction control manage grip at all four massive contact patches. It's an impressive blast, and Millen comes back smiling. "This thing is just so rock solid," he says, who really likes the way the Bugatti leaves the line with a minimum of fuss and wheelspin. "The car goes dead straight. At 200 mph, you can take your hands off the wheel, and the car will keep going straight down the runway. It's very stable. But don't try this at home, kids." So why does the Veyron take second place in our race to 200 mph? It all boils down to this: It simply does not have 1100 bhp at its wheels, as the Hennessey Viper does, and it weighs half a ton more. But in the race to 1 mile, the Bugatti is quickest, beating the Hennessey by a tenth of a second. It streaks through the mile in 25.9 sec. at 204.4 mph, whereas the Hennessey does it in 26 flat, at 220.9 mph. So in initial acceleration, the awd Veyron still has no peers, beating the Hennessey Viper by 1.1 sec. to both 100 mph and the quarter mile, only to lose out soon thereafter when boost and grip simultaneously peak for the Hennessey's high-speed benefit. For an idea of just how insanely quickly the Bugatti takes off, consider this: You can give a stock Corvette (September 2005, Standing Mile Story) a 6.8-sec. head start, and still catch it by the mile marker. Count that off (one thousand one, one thousand two...) and you'll understand why we think the Bugatti must feel like one of Lemoore's F/A-18s catapulted off a carrier. And last, a special note of thanks to our Bugatti owner friend who liked to see his thoroughbred get some proper exercise.</blockquote>
