288mph Bugatti SuperVeyron Planned

Word has it that Bugatti - maker of the world's most recognisable car - is planning a SuperVeyron, which will destroy Bug's own records.

While the current Bugatti Veyron's 8.0-litre W16 jet engine gives the hypercar a top speed of 259mph, the SV's 1600bhp tuned unit will allow the super-mega-hypercar to max out at almost 300mph! Reports suggest 288mph.

Obviously, that's not the only performance figure that's expected to be improved; the Veyron's 0-62mph time is also set to be slashed from 2.4sec to a scarcely believable 1.8sec.
