A Future Addition to the Bugatti Lineup - The 2015 Royale
It will be powered by a 8.0L twin-turbo W16 engine that will deliver the power via a robust permanent four wheel drive system. The engine is extremely similar to that of the Bugatti Veyron supercar. Price is yet to be determined.
The car was supposed to go on sale in 2013, but Bugatti has pushed the deadline further into 2015 to finish the refinement of the car.

World's Shortest Commercial Flight is Just 47 Seconds Long
The world’s shortest commercial flight takes place between the two Orkney Islands, Westray and Papa Westray, just north of Scotland, separated by a distance of only 1.7 miles. Operated by Loganair, the flight duration is officially two minutes, but under ideal wind condition can be completed in only 47 seconds.
Tickets are priced at about $30 per passenger with no in-flight service. According to reports published in The Daily Mail, about 30 percent of the service's passengers are associated with the Orkney Islands Council's education service, while many others are health staff and patients of the Scottish National Health Service. The island of Papa Westray is home to just over 70 people, and 60 archaeological sites.
