Beautiful Monsters


Watching some cheetahs sprint on TV just then and scientists have measured these creatures accelerating from 0 to 65 mph in just 3 seconds!

Right in front of me lies this month's Fortune Magazine too - featuring the new super of supercars - Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 - the most expensive street legal car available on the market today.  


Engine: Quad-turbocharged W16
Power: 1,001 hp at 6,000 rpm
0-62 mph: 2.5 seconds
Max speed: 253 mph
Price: $1.4 million




It is hard to imagine someone would actually spend that much on a car instead of using it for something more productive.  Probably someone like Oracle's CEO, Mr. Larry Ellison - who is filthily wealthy enough to have a few of the world's most expensive cars placed in his garage - would pay for such a bespoke componentry. 

In my opinion though, Cheetah CAN embarrass million dollar supercars.
