If this isn't sexy, then what is?

Shoot if you ask me, Justin Timberlake had nothing to do with bringing sexy back.. It's all about the <strong>"V"</strong> man.<!--more-->
In my opinion, the two pictures above are prime examples of how some things just go together, kinda like peanut butter and jelly or a Greenie and the beach. In this case, I want to explore one side of the equation. I am taking about the Bugatti Veyron, the most powerful production car in the world.<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Duttyman_photos/Bugatti/11436_YZQXYJXCNHEKX.jpg" height="400" width="600" />
All jokes aside; this thing is barely car with about 1000 horses under the hood. In a time trial/competition held in the UK, this machine beat a Suzuki GSX-R1000 superbike! A friggin A Gixxer 1000! What is even more incredible, it did it weighing in at 4,100 pounds. Ohh incase you were wondering, the official track speeds are 0-60: 2.8 seconds and 0-100: 5.5 seconds. You hear that ladies and gents, that is just insane. At those speeds I don’t think that there is any part of St Croix that can’t be reached in seconds. Just tell your patnas that you will meet them there.
The W16 alloy engine developed by Bugatti for the Veyron employs the space-saving VR principle with two particularly slender eight-cylinder blocks arranged at a 90° angle to each other.

The interior is highly functional with superb leather, also two-tone if desired, quality metallic trim and beautifully designed and ergonomically laid-out controls. Instrument details includes large central rev counter surrounded by four smaller additional instruments which enhances the retro chic look. The deliberate avoidance of superfluous instruments and modern extras are an unmistakable statement of the car’s uncompromising sportiness.

Unchanged on the series version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the classical two-tone paintwork. The designers have selected five separate color combinations for the car: Each of the combinations features the bonnet (hood), roof and rear in the darker of the two colors, with the sides and front wheel arches in the lighter color. The cats from Bathing Ape did their own rendition of the two tone job tho.<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Duttyman_photos/Bugatti/pink_veyron.jpg" height="247" width="450" />
Now, this car is a master piece and like all fine works well it costs a lot. In this case, 1.7 million big ones. Don’t sweat it though. For those of us who can’t afford the car YET. Bugatti has made it so that we too can share in the dream. You can cop a Bugatti edition watch for a mere 200k<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w47/Duttyman_photos/Bugatti/Bugatti-watch.jpg" height="225" width="450" />
and if that is still too much, you can smell like a million bucks for 5 thousand dollars. The Prestige Edition (400 bottles only!) of the super-luxe scent comes in a crystal bottle encased in a 24-carat gold-plated sculpture, said to be inspired by the wing on the venerated Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. If that is too rich for your blood, Bugatti is offering an additional 4,000 bottles of the, ahem, "Multiple Edition", presented in a chrome-plated bottle and selling for about 2 gees. Both editions are presented in a leather-lined case. And Harrod's department store in London is the only place to get it.

Finally, if you have 5k but you are not big on perfume, hold tight for an <strong>upcoming</strong> look at the very affordable, highly customizable new Scion Xb.
