Top speed of 253 mph and a price value of $1,250,000. I'd be afraid to take it out for a drive.

I'd have to learn how to drive stick-shift too.

It's not a stick shift, its a double clutch manumatic with paddle shifters.

It's also a very well crafted piece of art.

I'm lookin forward to reading about it.

Driving it would freak the hell out of me.

Standing 1/4-mile: 10.8 sec @ 140 mph

OMG.

Not bad, but I'd still rather have an Ariel Atom: 0-60 in under 5 sec, 0-100-0 in 10.88 sec.

1000 HP OMG!

I don't even care about the car... it's the rocket science involved with the creation of the wonder that is the engine. A compact 16 cylinder engine with 4 turbos.

I'm wet. I love the germans.

awesome!...."the Veyron's "launch mode," which allows the engine to light up all four tires"...

I've definately seen this car in action, and you get way better handling and feel with it. This is probably more the drivers can than the Veyron. And it is probably (if it is possible) less practical then the Veyron.

I'd rather have the Bugatti.

Gimme a Veyron any day. If you're afraid to drive this car - well - you're a candy-ass pussy! The car (by all accounts) is very driveable, and choosing the motorcycle-that-wants-to-be-a-car Atom over a Veyron would be, well - dumb. You could sell the Veyron, buy a house, a boat, a Lamborghini, a world trip and put $75,000 in the bank

For an amazing read, check this out: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/bugatti.htm

The stats for this car are simply stunning:

1000 HP
400+ km/h top speed.
0-60 in 3 seconds
burns 1.3 gallons of gas a minute at max throttle
14.4" rear tyres
At max power, the engine is consuming 45,000 liters of air per minute!

Theres quite a bit of information about the design of the engine on Bugatti's website. Click on Models, then Veyron 16.4, then Engineering, then Engine, then Legends from 1001 HP. Theres other stuff about the car there too, like aerodynamics.

The engine and transmission alone weigh 1400 pounds.

2 words for me:

HOLY SHIZNIT!

I would have absolutely no problem with having sex with that car.

This car is old though, i've seen it for years.

It seems old because it was announced several years ago and has been in development since then, but it just went on sale. And this is the first time that we can verify all the lofty claims that were made about it.

Oh sweet i didnt know that

bleh, the car looks horrible

at 5.5 sec, the Mclaren F1 would still take it from 0-100 at only 627 HP

I'd rather have the McLaren over any other sports car... its got so much class because it is probably one of the original supercars. Made in '94 and is still top 5 fastest production cars. SOOOO classy.

But I think the Veyron is faster.

Money, have you heard of the Lotus Esprit? Read up my friend.

Any day. That car is nice. I've got a video of it being tested by one of the guys from Top Gear and WOW, I love that car.

Dedman if going over 250 mph with that car makes me a wuss. THEN GUESS WHAT?




























I'm a wuss.

I wonder if I can fit that engine in my Bonneville...

Or at least build the Batmobile around it.

All three of the cars I've talked about will kick an esprit's ass... but that is why it is only about 40 grand american.

Obviously not, youre confused with the 4 cylinder elise

Alot of these look fake, but harming nonetheless.

You have just lost any respect that I had for you. That car is sex on four wheels. Seriously, I have to ask myself what crime I wouldn't be willing to commit to get the chance to sit behind the wheel of one of those, and I'm not coming up with too many.

Nirvana wrote:at 5.5 sec, the Mclaren F1 would still take it from 0-100 at only 627 HP

Source? Everything I've read about the F1 indicates that it would take 6.5 seconds, versus the Veyron's 6 flat.

http://www.fantasycars.com/McLaren_F1/M ... nical.html

0-100 in 6.3. I'd still say it wins with 1/2 the HP.

I say pffffft to your fast cars.

This car pwns

That works out to about 1.33 gallons (5 liters) of gasoline per minute.

haha that sucks

For the money, the Dodge Viper is still the car to own.
While no match for the Veyron, the Viper only cost 40,000.00 when it first came out. Zero to 60 in under 4 secs and 124 mph in the quarter mile. While with the Veyron one would hesitate to take it out, the Viper you could afford to play around with.

Too bad the Viper costs 80k+ now and a Corvette at 60k could kick the crap out of it.

I edited your post for ya

Base corvettes are only 45k (and even those would come close to the viper). The new z06 would rape the viper, no questions asked - and it starts at 65k (15-20k less than the viper).
