With names like Mclaren, Koenigsegg, Hennessey and Saleen, it's easy to get lost walking down the aisle of the fastest production cars on the planet. These supercar nameplates are only a few of the rare breed that leave prancing horses and enraged bulls in their rearview. And of them all, we shouldn't forget who reigns supreme; the vehicle synonymous with the moniker of hypercar. From the 2005 introduction year to the 2014 Veyron Super Sport, Bugatti has sat upon the throne of excess.

This early video from the 2007 season of Top Gear captured the introduction of a new era and illustrates the reason the Veyron was named Car of the Decade by the BBC show.
