Today, Auto Motor und Sport, reports that the new Veyron will definitely come at this year’s Geneva event and will carry a total o approx. 1400 hp while the top speed will be close to 440 km/h (273 mph)!

Amazing. I wonder what it would take to get to 300mph. Probably more a matter of when than if.

Rather (1.22)^2=1.49 or 1490 hp

There are 2 things wrong with your equation. The Veyron can go 407kmh or 253mph and that the car is more aerodynamic at higher speeds. Power and drag is not everything but is a big piece. For example the #1 fastest car dont remember its insignificant name needs an extra 180hp for just 3 more mph.

Ohh yes, I took wrong equation from wikipedia

Yes there should be 253 instead of 223 TurboSpyder.

I have never saw one on the street and probably never will own one. But reaching 440 Km/h is crazy, and it's probably comfortable doing it too.

I envy those who owns and have driven one.

Europe sets the standard again when it comes to cars. Is this ever going to change? Could Asia ever bring a real car on the market, something that is more than a "value" proposition(read cheap knock out)?
