    Each Bugatti Veyron has 2 keys.One for starting car and daily drive while another is for delimiting.You have to plug in second key while the car is not moving to start"Top Speed Mode".
    This mode will keep DRS enable and lower the riding height for you to push your Veyron up to 400kph and even more.Before plugging in the key,the Veyron has a top speed limit of 360kph.

    The Cadillac deVille DTS was the first car to have a night vision system.

    It was co-developed by Raytheon, and it was available from 2000 to 2004.

    I believe the AMC gremlin supposed to come with 2 rotor rotary but some issues happened right before production was supposed to start they threw in the i6 instead.

    Edit: it was the pacer not the gremlin

    Gas cars are now starting to require exhaust particulate filters to collect exhaust sure like diesel engines. So you can't even escape it by driving gas

    Yeah, and because the Pacer's engine bay was designed for a rotary (meaning small), the six-cylinder they put in it is shoved into the firewall, making it a real pain to change the rearmost two spark plugs.

    In 1995 , the olympics sued audi on changes of trademark infringement due to the similarity in the logos .
    Luckily , Audi won !

    Same goes for the DeLorean, which just like the Pacer , planned to have a rotary , but for so obvious reasons, it was abandonned , and just like the Pacer, ended up having a 6 cylinder
