Bugatti Veyron Acceleration

[Broli]

this thing is pretty fast (http://www.racegarden.com/video-show.html?video_id=84)

[Kevin@nextmod]

If I\'m not wrong, I believe this thing has 4 turbochargers.

But this thing is hella fast.

All I can say is... wow.

[MazdaTree]

top gear had it in one episode...it\'s one amazing car!

[Xerox]

Yep, Top Gear Season 7, Episode 5
Top Gear Challenge: Bugatti Veyron VS. Plane (Cessna 182)

Jeremy says: it has two 4.0L V8 engines making an 8L W16 engine with a total of 4 turbos, 7spd
Resulting in 1,000bhp (I believe 1,001bhp to be exact); naught to sixty in 2.5 sec.; top speed of 252mph

guess who won the race.

- The Stig

[Chuckie]

I saw the episode.
it was interesting.

guess on!

[Optimzer]

after the tire squeal it sounds sort of like a jet plane...amazing!

Topgear wanted to put the thing on their track, but seems like Bugatti declined.

That car is a serious peace of art, wouldn\'t want the Stig to mess it up.

It\'s a shame about the turbo lag.

Don\'t know what you\'re talking about, but go watch the Topgear episode yourself.

well i know this car is fast in a straight line, i am sure that cornering will not be that great!

the best thing from that ep of top gear was this

let a
McLaren F1 accelerate to 150MPH
then start the
Bugatti and it will hit 250MPH first

[MAZDA Kitten]

One of my favourtie cars ever

TOP GEAR got declined because there is no car insurance company that will insure this vehicle (put that in the useless facts) And if you do own one you have to go through an insurance company that insures YACHTS and PRIVATE JETS http://pages.infinit.net/bluefire/Images/icon_drool.gif

I also remember seeing an epsiode of top gear all about the Veyron, But dont recall the plane part.
I remember them saying something about how you can also choose how many HP you use.
Apparently if you choose to use the full 1001HP your 90 litre tank of gas is gone in 15 mins... talk about gas guzzler.. LOL :p

Yeah, you\'re right. I think he said if you\'re going flat out at 250mph, the 100 litre fuel tank will empty in 12 minutes..

I don\'t recall anything about choosing how much HP to use...could be wrong but it does have a \"Power\" gauge that shows you how much HP you are using at a given point.

By the end of the video, I\'m still trying to let out my clutch. :p

Bugatti have always built ridiculous vehicles. Anyone remember the EB110 from the early 90\'s? It had 4 wheel drive, a V12 and 4 turbos.

btw, I love the power meter. It adds to the superhero factor when driving such a machine!
