Bugatti Veyron Top Speed Run - Strap In and Hunker Down

My goal was simple: I wanted to take the world's fastest production car, the Bugatti Veyron, to its top speed of 253 mph. After a year and a half of planning with Bugatti's staff and some heartbreaking postponements, I finally was to get my chance.

I would be the fourth - and final - journalist to try this stunt since 2005, when the Veyron was launched. Despite dozens of requests, just three journalists (from the British TV show Top Gear, Car and Driver magazine, and Germany's Auto Motor und Sport) had been granted the opportunity. Conspicuously, I would be the only writer from outside the auto industry. more

First Drive: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

The first-generation Chevrolet Equinox compact crossover might as well have arrived with a 10-mpg supercharged V-12. In a segment that prefers four-cylinder engines to six-cylinder units almost two-to-one, Chevrolet was fighting an uphill battle when it launched a crossover that only offered a V-6 and was burdened with a price of entry $4,000 higher than competitors in 2005.

The 2010 Equinox, though, is a very different crossover. Due to hit showrooms in late June 2009, it's equipped with a four-cylinder direct-injection engine that delivers class-leading fuel economy. In fact, the Equinox has climbed from an also-ran to serious competitor on its spec sheet alone. more
