Ugly vehicle (IMO), but awesome drivetrain

All,
So, I'm showing my 18 year-old the website and he says "The Tomahawk is faster." Huh? Faster than 0-60 in three seconds?!? We go look and, sure enough, they say a Dodge Tomahawk will do 0-60 in TWO POINT FIVE! Of course, I'd rather be sitting in a comfy Bugatti doing 250mph instead of *sitting* ON an Chrysler engine doing 300mph!

They Veyron is nice and all but it's having serious teething problems. Bugatti just delayed it ANOTHER 15 months before customers can look at taking delivery. I think they might be aiming a little too high. 250mph? No problem. 1000hp Quad-turbocharged W-16 engine? With a little engineering, sure. AWD? Been done since the early 80's! 7-speed F1-style paddle shift transmission? The Six-speed has been here for some time so one more gear shouldn't be a problem. Roll it all into one car and keep it somewhat reliable, and add options such as having an actual diamond mounted in the gear lever? Uhh.....Houston we have a problem.
Keep in mind that the world's fastest production car, the Koeningsegg CC8S, can reach 245mph using a superchaged V8 with 655hp, and keep it under half the price of the Veyron at $500,000. Oh and just so we're clear Koenigsegg announced a new car this year at Geneva that has 806bhp and 678ft-lb of torque. And, according to the company it can do the standing quarter mile in nine seconds!
