Who will be the first to 1000 HP?

It looks like the ugly Veyron has, at least unofficially (or officially, in the metric system) reached that distinction.

According to the Veyron Wiki entry:

"Engine output: According to Volkswagen Group and certified by TÜV Süddeutschland, the final production Veyron engine produces 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) of motive power, and generates 1,250 newton metres (922 lbf·ft) of torque.[2][24] The nominal figure has been stated by Bugatti officials to be conservative, with the real total being 1,020 metric horsepower (750 kW; 1,006 bhp)."

(But as to looks.... ugh!)

IIRC, the Hennessey Venom GT is 1,200 bhp.

It may not be a beauty, but it gets 10 gallons to the mile.
