" Hard to believe, I know, but the Bugatti Veyron is history.  The 450th example of the world&amp;#039;s fastest production car was recently sold to a collector in the Middle East, closing the book on the outrageous, no-holds-barred engineering &amp;quot;what if&amp;quot; project that Volkswagen opened in 2005. Since then, other carmakers have raised the bar on outlandish horsepower and ocean-parting acceleration. And there&amp;#039;s some fatalistic logic in the notion that the next Bugatti will be a disappointment, no matter how fantastically fast or prodigiously powerful it is.   So while the Veyron we know and love may be expired, we&amp;#039;re still enamored with it. And watching this video of technicians hand-building the legendary hypercar&amp;#039;s interplanetary thrust provider\u2014a 16-cylinder, quad-turbo 8.0-liter behemoth\u2014makes us appreciate just how wonderful this bonkers machine really was.  Just watch: The engine may be like nothing else installed in any other vehicle, but the components are still utterly recognizable. No hybrid batteries, sci-fi energy capture modules, or other whiz-bang tomorrow-tech here. Just sixteen brave cylinders and more turbo, airflow, and cooling support than a small locomotive. The Veyron era has just come to a close, and we already miss it.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
