I have been car-mitzvahed by the bugatti veyron!

I was up in bay harbor michigan this weekend for the bentley event and they had two bugatti veyrons there! There was a black and grey one with a red interior. The test driver from france came in and introduced buyers and let the buyers drive the car. at the end of the day right before they were loading up the cars the french test driver was moving the car because it was suposedly about to rain. but I ask "how fast have you went on these roads?" he goes 180 mph. Then he goes you want to go for a ride? my heart and jaw dropped. I go in a blubering voice" shueer!" we get in and once we got off the main road after taking it easy, he lets it ouT!!!!!! OMFG!!!! I think I had my liver go up my esophogus! the car has so much force! my head went back so hard I have a bump on the back of my head! my eyes were going back into my ears! and my ears, my ears needed to get popped after the ride, we hit 150 and then we took a corner at 100, geez, all the g-forces were pulling me out of the seat! with all wheel drive the car has so much grip! But the best part about it is that its not abnoxise (exuse my grammer) and quite and the ride is as good as a bentley. I had a great experience and I need some advil but if your reading this peire, thank you!
thanks,
vic.

 

The car was amazing and its sad because I will never be able to experience it again. Also that car was the car jeremy clarkston drove from italy to londen.

This is the video of the guy I test drove with, but this is not my film, the man driving is Peire, he is the most nicest guy i know and I hope to meet him again. But the guy filming is not normal, he says the accelaration (exuse my grammer) is not to bad, But to me..........its sick. the car has a navigation syatem for gods sake and blutooth connectivity and a pda that tells you about your car like the tire presure, oil level, etc. The car in that video was the car I drove in to. two last things about the car, the trunk is in front and it will only fit a very small suitcase or laptop, to tell you the truth, the battery tender barely fit in there! Also, Peire told me that if the tank were to be filled to the top and to be driven at 254 mph the entire tank would last 12 minutes. You can ask more questions about the car.

He had the ac on and it was the same ac they put in lamborghinis, so it could blow you out of the car.

the exhaust note was very whooshie and the mechanical noise speaking of the turbos were not to loud. so this car at cruising speeds sounds like a normal benz but if you want to put the pedal down then it sounds like a silenced spit-fire.

The transmition was a recardo gsg 7 speed gearbox, and I could not feel any shifts at all, ever!

One last thing, the ride..... its like driving in a porsche, the ride was very smooth and was very responsive, the car's suspension reads teh road 500 times a milisecond, yep its that responsive. Keep in mind this car can be driven daily.

 

The first person in the united states to get one is located in colorado and has a vast car collection. he got his 3 weeks ago. the first person in the midwest which is the second person in the u.s. and is located in michigan will recieve their bugatti in 2 weeks. So I dont think there will be any used ones for sale for a longgggg time. And the car itself without tax 1.4 million. But you have to provide your own transportation back from france. Which means you pick up your car in france.

 

who? any of the goodmans?

 

your right. Sorry dan, just a little curious

 

Jeez That was the only thing I forgot about the car but I think it is 100+ but dont take my word for it.

 

I think your right because the french guy said there were 4 in the country 2 of which were manufacture demo cars. BTW I remember talking to the onsite tech from bugatti and he said that they just changed the spark plugs at 19,000 miles, and it took them 2 days to change them! lol
