Bugatti veyron, not again!

No matter what, putting 1000 hp down to the ground on a street car is stupid. There are very few people that can drive a 1000 hp car without issue on the street. People may have the money to buy it but that does not mean they have the skill to drive it.

If test drivers keep spinning the car off a track, imagine some gold-chainer will do on the freeway.

If this is true this is very sad. That VAG would even try to produce such a car is pretty wild but I wonder if it is posssible to place it into customer's hands.

 

I am 1/2 way their. I have a gold chain or two.

 

Doesn't seem to be recent. I remember these same or similar pictures from months ago. What's the date on the story?

They are called Viper owners that bling out their cars with 1200 horses to drive up in parking lots down the street in order to give others woodies.

 

Wow. That looks serious. Look at the angle of the spoiler in one shot. It looks like it's in air brake mode! I wonder if this is sortable or if this the end.

 

That car keeps less resembling a car, and more a plane.

 

that car is cool and all with 1000hp, but seriously fugly

 

not fugly imo...I find it beautiful but thats just me.I would DEFINITELY personalize the plates to say "Juggernaut". But of course, shortened.

the whole car altogether looks like Marvel's Character shown. What do you guys think?

Agreed

 

the front end is the ugliest of any car i have never seen!!!!...i like the back and side profile...with 1000hp, one lapse of concentration and you are history!!!!its scary enough driving a 580hp murcielago....

 

i also agree.

 

I think the article was just a lot of speculation. Accidents happen in testing all of the time when you are pushing the limits.

Now, if the engineering team's notes were published, then I would pay attention.

This article is just noise. More people want this car to fail than those that want it to work.

 

It looks like a small space shuttle ..

I want it to be released , all this delay got me curious .

 

Lambo's new baby boy is coming.....and is the perfect competitor for the Veyron!

aka-Miura. (scroll to lamborghini)

I really love that car i think it will be brilliant if bugatti can get it together

 

It IS an airbrake. This is a feature I have heard about on this car. It's a little scarry looking with a spoiler going through such radical iterations like that...

does anyone know what the article actually said? just a general out line or something?

 

Yup, that's all they're for. Oh, that and running 8's with an independent rear suspension and a 6 speed tranny. The turbo's on the Heffner and SVS cars are up under the wheel wheels and cannot be seen so I don't know where the bling comes from. 1,200hp is last year.

2,000 is the new hotness

1000hp was unbelievable 2 years ago, but look at this months R&T. A 1000hp Viper wins the one mile speed challenge (over an Indy car, DP, Trans Am, etc.). That Viper is what, 100G? 150G? For a million dollars, Bugatti needs to man up and throw down like 1500hp.

I can hear it now, "But that's not the point. It's a limited production vehicle for a select group of clientele." Which means, "I have totally bought into the man's consumeristic advertising and the wool is soundly over my eyes." The same mantra is constantly used on here to justify a _______ (insert recent Ferrari model) getting tooled around by a hopped up Lancer, WRX, etc. It's total crap though, because being more powerful and better handling is exactly the point. It is the most pure point in all of autodom. And it is the sole reason why Ferrari, Bugatti, Lamborghini, etc. are as famous as they are. Because at one point in time, they had the balls to throw down.

If I dropped a million dollars on a straight-line hot rod (ie, overweight Bugatti Veyron) I would be seriously pissed if someone could take an $80G car and use the stock block, heads, etc. to beat me. I would assume, for that type of money, there would be no other street engine capable of producing as much horsepower as mine without grenading itself.

 

true true.. BUT.. you hear of modded out imports/domestics smoking ferraris and such.. but those are 999/1000 stock ferraris or close to it.. drop money in the ferrari and watch that.. first off, second off, ferraris are built solid with quality.. most imports arn't built with great quaily.. the racy ones.. and ofcoarse, you get the name and exclusivness(sp???)

BUT.. i dont hear so much about imports beating lambos =-)
