Top Gear James May presenter decides to push the world's fastest production the 'Bugatti Veyron' to its limits as he attempts to hit the top speed a mind boggling 253 mph (407 km/h). Under the hood is a 16 cylinder engine with four turbochargers delivering 1001 horsepower and generating a lot of heat which is taken care of by 10 radiators (our cars have a single cylinder). The Veyron is put to test at Volkswagen's top secret test facility in German on a straight track 5 and a half miles long. Theoretically this monster will run for only 12 minutes at its top speed before running out of fuel.
