No matter how fast my DSM would ever be, I would trade it for a Lambo, Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Bugatti, even a BMW in a heartbeat, because it is more to the car than just going fast in a straight line. Plus what do you mean by "faster than bugatti". What is the definition of "faster"? A quatermile race? Quatermile means absolutely nothing.

15 minutes? According to Car and Driver, the Veyron's fuel consumption at 253 mph was 3.0 mpg. At full throttle its 26.4 gallon fuel tank empties in just 12 minutes 46 seconds. After 15 minutes at a continuous 253 mph the tires would melt.
