Great Video Christophe Thank you for sharing. Some day, somehow, I will have a ride in a Bugatti Veyron... I hope Have you seen it for real??
Hi Tina Yes, I have had this happiness to be able to see it in real, the first time it was during the meeting l'Art de l'Automobile in Monaco in June 2003 and then the second time, it was last month with Molsheim. The first thing that I can say it is that it is even more beautiful in truth than on photograph, then, the impression which it releases is described in only one word... BESTIAL !! Best regards
Hi, Here another video, this one was filmed during the tests for the press on the roads of Targa Florio in Sicily where Bugatti triumphed in the Twenties. You can note that acceleration is absolutely incredible...!!!! [9.0 Mb - MOV] http://movies.autoexpress.co.uk/evo/261005bugatti.mov Best regards

Hi Christian, Both my dear friend Christophe/Scuderia CC and myself are true Bugattistes, so we already know the facts of the Veyron! Actually I'm in the process of making a Bugatti Veyron drawing for a VERY important person within the Bugatti SAS....I'll tell you more about this later in this thread!!! Best regards and Vive La Marque! Carsten
WHAT??!! It was at IAA?? Pls tell me this as 2yrs ago... if I missed it this year I'll shoot myself! ;( EDIT... damn.. I only just noticed that post was from 2yrs ago
Hi Bugattiart, Takes more pics! and if you have opprtunity to pilote do not hesitate... thanks! Pour que Vive la légende!
I was watiching this car in March last and this year ! Despite of small space inside , the quality of materials are just great. You can really feel the "german hand" in it , but it doesn mean that you are fealing like in Audi or VW ( some journalist suggested that ) . It has got its own style !!!
Hi Drivers. I was fortunate to see the Veyron when it came down to Southern California. It was kept in the back with Bentleys and some Carrera GTs. A few days later it was shown at the Pasadena Ritz Carlton. If you wish to see more pics just e-mail me.This pic was taken as soon as it arrived. [email protected]

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed it for the Times. He awards it 12 out of 5 stars. Some of his comments below for the ones not subscribed...otherwise http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,12389,00.html From behind the wheel of a Veyron, France is the size of a small coconut. I cannot tell you how fast I crossed it the other day. Because you simply wouldnt believe me. I also cannot tell you how good this car is. I just dont have the vocabulary. I just end up stammering and dribbling and talking wide-eyed nonsense. And everyone thinks Im on drugs. This car cannot be judged in the same way that we judge other cars. It meets drive-by noise and emission regulations and it can be driven by someone whose only qualification is an ability to reverse round corners and do an emergency stop. So technically it is a car. And yet it just isnt. Other cars are small guesthouses on the front at Brighton and the Bugatti is the Burj Al Arab. It makes even the Enzo and the Porsche Carrera GT feel slow and pointless. It is a triumph for lunacy over common sense, a triumph for man over nature and a triumph for Volkswagen over absolutely every other car maker in the world. Hmmm!! Has anyone told Clarkson that it's a FRENCH built car developed by a GERMAN company called VOLKSWAGEN?? That will turn him all jingoistic in about two seconds flat! Cheers, MARK
Did you read the article in EVO magazine. They were just as enthusiastic. They wrote that if a Formula 1 car would pass the standing Veyron at 100mph that the Veyron would still be faster at 200mph!!!!
