Tomm Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah, it's silly money really, but it's just a showpiece for Volkswagen/Bugatti. What I want to know is why they didn't allow it to be driven around the test track (For those who don't know, this car was just on Top Gear). Were they scared it would get beaten by the Zonda or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 the fact that its a clear winner would make all car ever to go round the track after it look obsolete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewholdsworth Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 love the fact they only made it just to see if they couldscarily fast car though, and it looks lovely, £4000 for a stalk sillywish they'd taken it round the track. perhaps it was just too expense to risk??

Michael Hardman Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Its restricted aswell, so if you can take the thing out , someone please do so it will go a lot faster.Theres some 1400bhp supra or it may be skyline in max power and it also runs and ticks over quiet reliably for such a highly tuned car.

the_soon_to_be Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 full tank of fuel will be gone in 12 mins at 252mph, and then you need to replace all tyres, and 10 radiators, wow.... even a rad for the hydrolic fluid for the spolier, shit...personally, where are you gunna run at 252mph for 12 mins, that is a good few miles that would have to be sraight as a mother, personally i want onetop secrets syline on ran up to 200mph, no where near the bugatti, but they have the crazy jap mans car that they did not tset in the "max power" film as had only just been built, should be good...gaz...

011001000110010101110010 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 They say it has 1000 bhp, but the bugatti site says it has 1001 PS. 1 PS = 0.986 bhp so 1001 PS is actually only 987 bhp...So it doesnt really have 1000 bhp, but its close enough for us mere mortals.

the_soon_to_be Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 sure clarkeson said they sent him the more powerful supercharged twin turbo model, "pushing 1000 bhp", it on like 13 bhp, nopt alot of difference...gaz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Said in the daily mail that they will make 300 max. Thats if 300 people want them.I loved the fact clarkson came up with about the mclaren. "you could put the veryon and the mclaren side by side in a straight line race. You could let the mclaren reach 140mph before the veryon even started and it would still beat it too 250mph" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_soon_to_be Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) that's cause the mclaren will only do 240mph, so course it's gunna beat it to 250mph, gaz...doubt they will make 300, if they loosing on average £4.2 million on each car made and sold, that would make a total of £126 million in loses, i don't think so...gaz..

011001000110010101110010 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 it was let the mclaren get to 120 and it will still beat it to 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah, it's silly money really, but it's just a showpiece for Volkswagen/Bugatti. What I want to know is why they didn't allow it to be driven around the test track (For those who don't know, this car was just on Top Gear). Were they scared it would get beaten by the Zonda or something? Could also be for insurance purposes? If the Stig binned it into a tyre-wall or somehow managed to crash it into something, that's essentially £5m down the drain, isn't it? Even so, I reckon it'd probably be the fastest on there. Sounds like it had dialled handling and stopping power, and a pretty rippin' engine, so I don't see how it couldn't be the fastest...
