The Rolls Royce 100EX has been made to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Rolls-Royce, which falls in May 2004.

It has a:

9-litre, V16, 64-valve engine. Need I say anymore?

Oh yes. One more thing.

There is no plan to produce it as a series model.

Performance figures haven't been released yet.

Enjoy the pics from the Geneva Auto Show.

The 16.4 Veyron is definitely for the ELITE with a price tag of around $1.3 million!!!!

Its interior is really nice for a supercar. I have been inside a Mclaren F1 and it wasn't really fancy (I wasn't expecting it to be). But, it did have a CD player and 4 big-ass speakers!

It was supposed to reach a top speed of 406 kph, but due to serious problems with aerodynamics at very high speeds, VW has limited the top speed of the Bugatti Veyron to 330 kph because otherwise they would have needed to change the whole aerodynamics design, causing tremendous cost, not to speak about the time frame.

This will piss a lot of people off because I don't think that anyone will want to pay over a million dollars for a car whose top speed is 330 kph. 1001 bhp for 330 kph does not sound good anymore. Any car with that much power should have the right to go as fast as it wants :D!!! But its a good thing that VW is being really careful in testing. So Maclaren F1 still retains the title of the car with the highest top speed ~240 mph. It doesn't seem to have any problems with aerodynamics at that speed :). I have a video of it going at its top speed speed and the driver was thrilled.

Before the 16.4 Veyron were the 2 prototypes, the 18.4 Veyron with 18 cylinders (2 more than the 16.4) and a power output of 610 bhp. The other prototype is the 18.3 Chiron with a power output of 555 bhp.
