If you look up these coordinates via Google Earth you can see the Volkswagen Erha Proving Grounds where the Bugatti episode was filmed:
52°37'59.92"N
10°45'50.23"E
My work beings me into contact with some amazing cars and I had the opportunity to briefly drive the Bugatti Veyron a couple of years ago (sadly not to top speed or even close). It is a truly amazing piece of engineering. Imagine a 1000hp engine that will idle for an hour and then pull away clean at wide open throttle with no stumbling or overheating issues.
