The claimed bhp of the Veyron is supposed to be conservative. It is supposed to have in excess of 1000 bhp. There are a few cars being tested right now, that are supposed to be even faster! I wonder where it will end?
Mainly the American made, ultimate aero tt. The Veyron is one sweet ride no doubt. To achieve what it does with the creature comforts is has is astonishing. One of the greatest cars to be ever made no doubt. Diesel do you have any links to new top gear shows? They do not show it in the states anymore, that was my fav show 
Ultimate Aero TT
HP: 1,180 bhp @ 6950 rpm
Torque: 961 lb./ft. @ 6150 rpm
Dry Weight: 2,750 lbs.
Top Speed: Up to 273 mph
(per Langley wind tunnel calculations)
The veyron is sporting 1000 horse at over 4000 lbs. This thing has 1200 at 2700 lbs. Needless to say it shall be quite the death rocket

Great car, the Ultimate Aero TT is, but it looks like some one took the front half of of a Diablo and stuck on the "stereotypical super car back", it's lateral intakes are a blatant rip off of the Jaguar XJR-15 (best looking jag of all time, next to the XJ-13) . It even has the Diablo windows and scissor doors.
But all in all, it reminds me of a furturistic Saleen S7.
The Weight versus HP output is staggering and well better than the Bugatti, which is nothing more than AWD GT.
If I had the money, I would try to get someone to sell their Ferrari FXX.
