The first Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is one among the five models produced that will hit the same top speed as the 268-mile per hour world-record setting version. The other 35 models will be limited to just 258 mph, because, you know, that extra 10 mph would simply be overkill.
Of all the phrases in the English language, few are likely to as accurately describe what it's like to drop the hammer on the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport as "absolutely crackers." That is if you're trying to keep things PG, at least. The crew from Autocar managed to beg, borrow and steal their way into the cockpit of what is perhaps our era's pinnacle of production automotive engineering for a quick blast through the European countryside. Fortunately enough for all of you, they were also kind enough to video the whole shebang.
