Cygnus Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Top Gear had an episode last season where they showed the Veyron SS breaking the record. The car is super sweet. If you don't watch Top Gear, which you should, it's great, here's the segment on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxHCjDhL9R0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1anonly Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks for adding the video Brad. That was pretty cool watching it go around the test track. When he hit the corners too hard the spoiler flipped up like an air brake to slow him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 267mph!!!! That is absolutely insane - I love this era of automotive engineering... they really are pushing the outer limits of what is actually possible given the laws of physics. Honestly, in decades past cars were more limited by the technology available, we're now in a realm where the laws of physics are now becoming what prevents further progression.

Cygnus Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 0-62 mph: 2.5 seconds 0-186 mph: 14.6 Just think, that thing is going 186 mph quicker than what most people's car can run a quarter in. It's pretty sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Before everyone goes running for a loan you may want to read this: The Brits from Autocar made an analysis of maintenance costs that must the owner of a Bugatti Veyron must bear. Besides the enormous cost of acquisition and high fuel consumption of a Veyron, the owner pays each year $21,015 for a routine inspection. The most powerful production model in the world should have thoroughly inspected wheels by Bugatti at every 4 tire changes. If a rim shows any imperfection, it will be changed. Each rim costs $11,425 and a set of four tires for the Bugatti Veyron cost $38,384. Pressing Veyron’s pedal to the metal, consumes 1 gallon at every 2.5 miles. The 26.5 gallons tank is emptied in just 12 minutes while a refill costs about $65.

Cygnus Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I wonder what an oil change cost?? I don't know on the super sport, but the "base" Veyron is just under $9k for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I love this back and forth between shelby and bugatti... competition breeds innovation. Unfortunately, these are innovations none of us will ever personally enjoy LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Is that article on the Aero II correct? It says that it has an 6.8l twin-turbo V8 in it. It seems like it should be a 12 cylinder for that displacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
