Veyron clocked at 248.5 mph
This is awesome:
"Every owner will be supplied with a special second key, made from aluminium in best Bugatti lightweight tradition. With the car stationary, this key has to be inserted to the left of the driver's seat, down by the sill.
The words 'Top Speed' then appear on the facia and the car begins a series of safety checks on such things as tyre pressures. Once complete, the chassis squats to just 65mm above the road at the front and 70mm at the rear. From now on, the diffuser flaps remain closed and the angle of incidence of the rear aerofoil is minimised to reduce wind resistance. The final action of this high-speed mode is to disable all limiters (the car is otherwise limited to 375kph). Touch the brakes, however, and the car reverts to standard settings."

Wow I can't wait till an American publication get's their hands on one and road tests it. Or even better, an all comparison battle between the Veyron, Enzo, Carrera GT, SLR, and Murcielago, now that would be sweet to see came out on top. My money is on the Carrare GT, although I think the Veyron is just awesome.
