Wired’s Autopia blog reviews the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport – the convertible version of the original Veyron. The reviewer claims it is the greatest petroleum-fueled car ever made. I agree.
The acceleration is so immediate you can feel your eyeballs deform under the G-forces. It’s a sensation of isolationist joy, an out-of-body awareness that you’re moving faster than the world can react. Bystanders vaguely remember seeing a flash of expensive paint a few seconds after you disappear over the horizon; entire generations of insects die on your prow.
The review is a superbly written piece of automotive otaku. Go and read it.
