Pushing the limits of the Bugatti Veyron

By George Skentzos |

With a grand total of 16 cylinders, no one is going to presume the infamous Bugatti Veyron is fuel efficient. But for one unlucky Veyron driver, it seems they have underestimated just how much fuel it takes to power the 1001hp supercar, stopping cold just metres from a petrol station in Las Vegas to the amusement of onlookers.

On the other hand, it seems most in the crowd were all too eager to help push the grief stricken Bugatti to safety – and why not, its not everyday you get to touch the world’s most spectacular supercar.

    I thought that was a bloke… anyway, according to Clarkson, when running flat out the Veyron empties its tanks in 12 minutes…

    With the twin turbos the fuel indicator on the GT-R is always near the bottom, I can only imagine what 16 cylinders and four turbos is like…
