In theory, a Bugatti Veyron would be able to maintain its top speed of 253 mph for no longer than 15 minutes because that is the design limit of the tires at that speed. However, in practice, a Veyron would not exceed 12 minutes at maximum speed, because that is how long it takes to drain its entire 26.4-gallon fuel tank. It would cover a distance of 50.6 miles in those 12 minutes. At the end of the run, the owner would have to replace all four tires at a cost of around $42,000.
