actually for the sake of accuracy...

"the Veyron the quickest-accelerating production vehicle in history. It also consumes more fuel than any other production car, using 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) in city driving and 24.1 L/100 km (10 mpg) in combined cycle. At full-throttle, it uses more than 125 L/100 km (2.1 mpg)—at full throttle, the Veyron would empty its 100 L fuel tank in just 12.5 minutes."  ~coutesy of Wikipedia

10mpg on freeway is not even that bad, a N/A V12 Ferrari gets that.

My bad, I remembered incorrectly...
I think the statistic I saw was 1.33 gallons (5 liters) of gasoline per minute.

I'm sure we will, there is always something faster. Car companies always like having bragging rights about building the fastest car in the world. I am going to go out on a limb and say the next "fastest car" in the world will probably have less horsepower, but be lighter and more aerodynamic than the Bugatti and so be faster in just about every way. I haven't seen a lap time around the Nurburgring for the Bugatti yet, but I would really be suprised if it was any faster than the current CGT, FXX, MC12 or other hyper exotic street legal race cars.

i'm sure we will, if it weren't for competition then we wouldn't have anything new.
