Most Outrageous Car Ever: Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Base price: $1,200,000
The Veyron, a million-dollar car with a 16-cylinder engine and a top speed of over 248 mph, recently went into production in France--and it's coming to the United States. In a recent phone interview, a spokesman for parent-company Volkswagen said one American dealership is talking about selling the car and that Bugatti is planning to send 20 Veyrons to the States each year.

Fastest Car: SSC Ultimate Aero
Base price: $654,500
Faster than even the Veyron, the Ultimate Aero by small American manufacturer SSC has a top speed of 260 to 273 mph, according to Langley wind-tunnel calculations. It achieves such ridiculous performance with a 1,046-horsepower V-8 engine (yes, you read that hp figure correctly), which is shoehorned into a car that weighs as much as a Dodge Neon.
