All the critics have finally been silenced after the Bugatti finally made an appearance and smashed the world record for the fastest production car. It did so by setting a new record with an average speed of 252.95mph on Volkswagen's Ehra Lessien test track in Germany.

The EB16.4 Veyron is powered by a 987bhp quad turbo W16 8 litre engine and took the record which previously belonged to the McLaren F1 when it was set at 240.10mph back in 1998. If you want one though, you'll need a cool 1 million euros.
