X Factor US is coming to our screens in September 2011. That means celebrity perforamces, fantastic X Factor Music, catty judges, fashion, faces and of course Simon Cowell. The meanest judge of them all with those high waist pants, 80s hair cuts and fantastic one-liners and putdowns.
To get you folks prepared, here's some more background into the hugely successful X Factor show. This time let's talk about Simon Cowell and his fast cars.
X Factor judge Simon Cowell loves his fast, super expensive and gorgeous cars.

X Factor judge Simon Cowell loves his fast, super expensive and gorgeous cars.
He drives a $1 million Bugatti Veyron, one of the most expensive road cars in the world.
Simon's Bugatti Veyron is named after racing car driver Pierre Veyron, the French ace who won the Le Mans 24 race in 1939.
The Bugatti Veyron is now for its TEN radiators, requiring 4 alone for the engine cooling system (source: Wikipedia).
The top speed is astonishing, this car can hit 407 km per hour or 253 miles per hour, that's almost one-third the speed of sound, though it's 'everyday top speed' is a mere 350 km/h or 220 miles per hour.
In true James Bond style, there's a special key called the Top Speed Key on the left of the driver's seat that allows the car to reach the 407km/hr max speed. The Key only works when the car is at a stop, as it goes through a technical checklist to make sure the car and driver are ready for 'top speed' mode. How cool is that?
The Bugatti Veyron used to be the fastest production vehicle of all time (that distinction is now held by the the SSC Ultimate Aero TT)
