Yeah when I first heard the tech bits on that I couldn't believe ten freakin' radiators !!

Watching the guy hit 253 mph in it on video was pretty cool though and so was the race against the British Jet both on "TopGear" I believe.

ETA: read the link contained in the main article about maintaining a Veyron. If you actually drive the car you are going to pay the equivalent of a ZR1 every couple of years in maintenance.

Most of what you see (the silver) is the top of the supercharger/intercooler assembly. There is plastic (blue and black) surrounding it to cover the plumbing and belts though.
