I laughed as he said:

"at this speed the tires will only last for 15 minutes..But that's ok, cause the fuel only lasts for 12" Laugh Out Loud

One sickass car..

I dont know if you guys get 'Top Gear' TV show, but it's a weekly show where 3 blokes (guys) basically test all manner of cars, racing, as he said, across Europe against a plane, within a crowded city against BMXers or seeing who can buy the cheapest Porsche in London and still be able to drive it to the coast and make it there!

It's a fantastic show. Try and look it up if you can, or definitely get hold of a DVD.

"With a top Speed of 407 km/h (253 mph) it is much faster than a Formula 1 car". Didn't Shelby just come out with a 257 MPH car? The SSC Ultimate Aero 257mph,"But the Veyron is not the fastest car on the road, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. In March 2007 it tested the American-made SSC (Shelby Super Cars) Ultimate Aero and crowned it the Fastest Production Car in the world. The $654,400 twin-turbocharged car boasts a top speed of 257 mph and goes from 0 to 60 in 2.78 seconds. Snagging this title marked a first for a U.S. auto manufacturer". I thought I read it on Forbes News a week ago. Like that makes a big diiference at that speed. Super cool ride. I'd have to sport my adult diapers at that speed.

Adrenaline indeed! What a rush.
It would take me an hour just to unwrap my grip from the wheel... Eek

Hey Adam, while the SSC might be the fastest car in the world, the Veyron states that it is the fastest "production" car in the world. Shelby's vehicles are all custom modded to achieve that speed. All Veyrons come right off the line with that ability. Wink

That's just incredible. "10 radiators, 16 valves, and twin turbos"?

skippy1969 - 2008-05-09 11:24

I wonder if you'll ever have to chase one? Laugh Out Loud

i've been to the legendary 'schloumpf'-museum in Mulhouse, France a while ago, they do have a Veyron and two previous models there, quite impressive vehicles, but not even half as classy as the vintage (original) Bugattis& other sports/ race-cars !!!

autoreverser - 2008-05-12 01:34

...as there are f. ex.:





(i was allowed to sit in this one from the 30'ies, as i helped some guys pushing it into another room for a special-exposition...)







...there's loads of Alfas, Mercs, Veritas, more Bugattis as you've ever even thought they were existing, and and and... sorry for my little intermission, still no doubt that the Veyron is the fastest one ever...

fatdog - 2008-05-12 05:33

Hey Auto, what car is this?

autoreverser - 2008-05-12 13:29
