Bugatti Veyron at 250mph+

I wonder what kinda tires it uses...

 

The best

 

No, $1,300,000

That's a nice pic of it too. I had it on my mac at the studio for a long time

 

very impressive car.

 

I watched this yesterday and the Veyron is a pretty neat car. Top Gear says that Bugatti wont lend them a car for the Stig to take out on the track, and asked if anyone owns a Veyron get in touch with them and they are willing to pay 30 pound a day for it. I'd lend my Veyron out to them, if I got my own star in a reasonably priced car segment...hahaha

 

And anything in a 1km radius around ya.

 

Its called safety margin.

 

was that it?

 

Electron Coupe? Not familiar.

Describing a new project?

 

Ouch!!

 

Thats what i thought, are you up to something Napolis??

More to my likeing but I don't think 250mph is in the program.

 

i think the veyron needs some fchat/ec 'reimagining' more than the enzo did!

 

What's the name of it again. Its on the tip of my tongue, but I cant remember it. Great picture btw

 

The car has safety features that guard against that situation, at least somewhat... If the wheel is turned more than 2* off center, the car reverts to handling mode, and slows. Also, according to James in the segment, they car is very stable at braking from that speed, as it will also revert to handling mode the minute brakes are touched. The car can pull 2g's of deceleration if full brakes are applied at 230mph.

 

You're correct... hence the special 'key' to activate the mode. Alarms go off when the wheel turns etc etc.

Veryon rules!

Is there any way I can DL this vid segment from somewhere ? Please . Thanks

 

I read recently that tires are $17k per set.

 

As a percentage as the purchase price of the vehicle, that compares favorably to the % of tire cost/vehicle purchase price of a Honda Accord.

Cheap, idnit?

 

Which all no doubt makes travel at 250MPH a piece of cake.

 

I thought I read $30k?

 

O M G !!!!

that crazy

 

Ouch!! $17K or $30K is still nuts.

 

IMHO it is cheap when your life depends on it at 253 mph
