Lookee lookee was "New Scirocco"!!
While on the topic of future VWs...lets just pretend THIS is supposed
to be the "new scirocco"....Ok, so its a Bugatti, but its built by VW,
and its the fastest production car...so...Its obvious it was originally
intended to be a scirocco. haha
ok, so maybe its old news, but I still cant get enough of it. Video too!

if you dont want to read the article, heres the good stuff...
A worthy successor to the elegant and powerful Bugattis of the past,
the Veyron 16?4 is powered by a 1001-horsepower W16 quad-turbocharged
8.0-liter engine with all-wheel drive. Bugatti claims this new super
car will reach a speed of 252 mph. Acceleration is also impressive?the
Veyron can reach 180 mph in just 14 seconds!
clearly a scirocco wannabe :^)
