The Bugatti Veyron is a modern wonder. It is screamingly fast, it is magnificently well-controlled, it is ridiculously expensive. As the video amply shows, though, it is also all but incapable of handling speed bumps.
Seen outside the Shamshabad International Airport in Hyderabad, India, this Veyron is reduced to a mere crawl by several inches of rising asphalt. The miniscule ground clearance that helps prevent the car from lifting off at high speeds also necessitates a painfully slow crab-like crossing of bumps that almost any other vehicle would take in stride.
