Trust me when I say your guy wants this.
The stats:
Price: Around $1.2 million
Power and Performance: An 8.0-liter W16 that has four turbochargers, gets 1,001 horsepower and burns about 1.33 gallons of gasoline per minute. The transmission is a paddle-operated, dual clutch system with seven gears, driving power to an all-wheel-drive set up. The tires are specially-made Michelins, and are reportedly the widest passenger car tires in the world, designed to handle up to 1.3 G on the skid pad.
Why it matters: Because it’s the fastest passenger car in the world, and because they will only ever make 300 copies. The funny thing is, the Bugatti Veyron is a car to have and not to drive, which is exactly the opposite reason for the car’s existence.
Update: All men will agree that it doesn’t make any logical sense as to why they want this. Especially with gas prices being what they are. We can’t explain why we want it. We just do. It’s something biological in us. It’s the same thing that causes us to want a giant 20-foot inflatable home theater screen.

Who buys this? Really–who buys it? I cannot imagine buying something that expensive to look at it. But, then, I am a girl.

I’d be happy just to test drive!
