It's official: Wolfgang Durheimer, who took over both Bugatti and Bentley last spring, is a speed addict who clearly likes to brag about running the company that builds the world's fastest car.

Fans of the Veyron can rejoice as the former Porsche R&D chief announced that it will not only keep rolling off the assembly line in Molsheim, but also receive a few upgrades.

Durheimer feels that aerodynamics need to be improved for superior top speed instead of figuring out ways to reduce weight.

The big boss also said that he's still trying to convince the folks at Volkswagen AG to produce the Galibier, destined to become the fastest limousine in the world. Bugatti's business case is for between 500 and 1,500 units to find takers, most likely among existing customers.
