A little preview of the Bugatti Veyron by Jeremy Clarkson:

«On a recent drive across Europe I desperately wanted to reach the top speed but I ran out of road when the needle hit 240mph. Where, astonishingly, it felt planted. Totally and utterly rock steady. It felt sublime.

Not quiet, though. The engine sounds like Victorian plumbing — it looks like Victorian plumbing as well, to be honest — and the roar from the tyres was biblical. But it still felt brilliant. Utterly, stunningly, mind blowingly, jaw droppingly brilliant.

And then I reached the Alps where, unbelievably, it got better. I expected this road rocket to be absolutely useless in the bends but it felt like a big Lotus Elise.

Other cars are small guesthouses on the front at Brighton and the Bugatti is the Burj Al Arab. It makes even the Enzo and the Porsche Carrera GT feel slow and pointless. It is a triumph for lunacy over common sense, a triumph for man over nature and a triumph for Volkswagen over absolutely every other car maker in the world.»

No your wrong. It does gorner very well, specially for a car that heavy.

I got a test drive by Pedro Lamy (F1, DTM, V8Star champion, GT2 World champion, official works driver for Aston Martin), where he was invited by Bugatti to drive the car along with other race drivers and he says that its the road car that has most amazed him, speacially on cornering abilities, that it grips and takes corners like a true race car. And it was the only car that he has driven that he past by policeman doing 250Km/h plus and they waved at him...
