"Why spend all that money when you can mod a XR6T to be just as quick?"

You can't, it's simply impossible to keep a falcon on the road at 400km/h..

Oh please that pile of crap is not even a 1/4 of a Bugatti, I would not like to be the sucker to try to take that thing to 300 km/h let alone 400. Plus that car never officaly set that top speed it belonged to the Mcleran F1, then the Koensegge cc8r now the Bugatti. Besides its slow

If only it wasn't so FUGLY.

Now, when I win Powerball tomorrow I'll have enough money to buy one along with an AM Vantage. Pull the Bugatti body off and slip the Vantage over the Bugatti running gear. Then I'd have a fast AND sexy looking car :outahere:

umm.. no, its not slow. it did in fact makes those speeds on one of americas high speed test rings. however, because it was made on order in limited numbers by a private tuning firm, Callaway, it cant be classed as a "production car".

therefore the bugatti is the fastest "production car".
