Good write up, very fun to read. For me the climax was "They be dangerous and uglies!" :P

Isn't the Veyron powered by 16 cylinders now though? In a W configuration? Basically 2 V8s slapped on together?

That's right. Its engine a combination of two 4-liter V8 engines and that makes it W16. Two V shaped engines beside each other that makes a W shaped one.
