Autocar: Bugatti Veyron

[wazza]

Haven't heard much about this car recently, but there are two pages in the magazine this week that I have just flicked through on the shelf.

987bhp
0-62 2.5 sec
0-124 7.3 sec
0-186 18.7 sec - 7 secs better than a factory prepped Enzo last year

Seems as though they have found a 7 speed DSG box that will handle the torque and take it all the way to 253mph.

Waiting list:
16 fully paid up.
further 25 with a 300,000 deposit.

Hope I remembered everything correctly

Awesome motor car.

Those figures - what can you say ?

It has also gone through the full VAG group testing programme, which makes it the most complete & reliable supercar ever IMO.

I thought the whole point of that car was to get 1000bhp, just fell short... NOT GOOD ENOUGH, my millions are staying in my pocket until they get it right.

Isn't that 1000PS?

[NeilMc]

Pesky German measurments. So is that about 1000.6ps?
In that case, I'll have two.

Bugatti have a stand at Tokyo, see the autocar show video at www.autocar.co.uk

Awesome as they say across the pond.

[DuncS3]

On their website they compare against the McLaren F1, (theory I think). they say if both cars were lined up together, if the Mac set of first and after 10sec it passes 135mph. At which point the Bugatti sets off and reaches 200mph at exactly the same time as the F1

now that must be a quick car - is it Revo'd?
