We know that as far as engineering supercars go, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is probably the ultimate supercar out there today. But since Bugatti people are crazy people, they’ve initially indicated plans for building a faster and more track-oriented supercar (which of course, the blogging community caught, and started banging drums). For gearheads, that meant exceeding the limits posted by the Veyron. And that has gone from crazy to insane (”completely bonkers” is the more apt Clarksonesque term, perhaps).

But while that news got us all riled up, Bugatti just confirmed the news about the alleged project Lydia, a track car that would sport the Veyron’s quad-turbo engine that dishes a biblical 1175hp, will not see production daylight. There were existing plans (even a dossier) but the project was already killed off last year as confirmed by VW (Bugatti’s parent company) senior execs.

Oh well. Such is life. While other supercars like that Venom are looking out to kill Veyron’s legendary status, the Veyron is probably still the king of supercars.
