Bugatti Supersport With 1200hp: Truth Or Fiction?
Whispers of planned 264mph Veyron circle the internet
A 1200hp Bugatti Veyron could be revealed this summer, if rumours circling the ‘webosphere’ are to be believed.
French website BugattiPassion.com and Dutch mag Auto Week both suggest that the new car will be called the Supersport, following in the traditions of the Type 55 from the 1930s and the EB110 from the 1990s.
The car will be revealed at the Pebble Beach concours in California this August, although September’s Paris show has also been mooted as a venue for the official unveiling.
Word is that just 30 examples of the Supersport will be built (as opposed to 300 coupes and 150 Grand Sport convertibles), and that the car will be capable of a 264mph top speed and of sprinting to 62mph from rest in a scarcely believable 2.2secs.
The Veyron is an exquisitely engineered hypercar-to-end-all-hypercars and has all the money, influence and resources of the VW group to draw on.
The Venom is someone’s project, built in a shed, on a shoestring, which will go backwards into a hedge the first time it’s driver puts their foot down. It just happens to have the patronage of some of the PH team who are mates with the constructors.

I thought that for every extra mph above what the veyron already does, that requires a not inconsiderable hp increase to overcome the drag....
anyone brighter than me care to help me out?!!
Not sure how, but there you go.
I say why not with this car... it's had plenty of money thrown at it to develop it so why not make the most of it and release updates/improvements etc?
If they can make a more intimate drivers car out of it, while also adding a bit more useful power and grunt, then great I say!
