Any car that shoots flames from the exhaust in stock form is badass in my book!
I have lusted for the S7 since it's been out though. I would probablyrape my neighbor for one of those.

That said, the Koenigsegg CCX is my dream car.

OK...you guys are seriously mistaken here...
a) The Veyron costs $1.2million to the consumer, whereas the $5million is the PRODUCTION cost. Yes, Bugatti takes a hit on each one sold.
b)The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is the "next model" referred to. It is already out. In fact, it has entirely replace the naturally aspirated one for a year now. Yes it is faster than the Veyron, but hardly. Actually, the Saleen claims to be the fastest because of accelerating faster, and the Bugatti claims to be the fastest in the world because of top speed.
c)The keynote model from Koenigsegg is actually the CCX, not the CCR. They both have very similar specifications, though I believe many of them are simply copy+paste from each other. The "9 seconds at 146" claimed for the CCR is actually an estimate. The CCX is the car that has actually been run to a "9.9 at 146". The CCX also has a high top speed.
d) It is highly debateable whether the CCR/CCX would ACTUALLY beat a Veyron. Going by acceleration numbers alone, the Veyron goes to 60mph in 2.5 seconds to the CCR/CCX to 62 in 3.2. The Veyron also has a higher top speed, and no official quarter mile times from anyone, much less the mfgr. I still put my money on the Bugatti. That said, the Koenigsegg CCX is my dream car.

+1 and the next s7 will be faster than the veyron, saleen promised that....oh and the barabus tkr is gonna dominate absolutely everything with the right driver.
oh and the veyron has a signifigant amount of power over any other production car right now...the konigsegg (holy **** spelling?!) ccr is faster too. 9.0's@150ish mph = HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT CAR IS FAST. top speed is right about what the veyron does, but who gives a **** about top speed anyway, the ccr will RAPE a veyron.

Id spend a 1/5 of that price tag on a Saleen S7 and the Veyron owner would never see my front license plate.

Just because each one costs ~$5,000,000 to make (factoring in R&D costs), doesn't mean it can fly in a zero-gravity environment.

...and has so much engineering and such a high price tag that it might as well be a spaceship.[8D]

The fastest production car in the world is AWD...goes 253mph, and does 0-60 in 2.5s.

And I'd like to see an AWD drivetrain pull that kinda top speed....turning 2 sets of axles and 4 wheels at those kind speeds
