veyron meets its goals!

What are the goals. Not overheating after 5 minutes? Being able to get moving without atomising the tires? Costing a lot of money?

 

Who peed in your cereal? Geez, don't you undestand a little humour? Veyeron has had so many teething problems it became a bit of a joke. I have nothing against it. If it works, will be a cool car.

 

LOL! I thought this post was very funny, especially the last bit

Lighten up Alan, I dunno how your second post was meant to be positive

 

I'm tired of people bashing Bugatti just because this site is called ferrarichat

 

I still don't think the technology is ready. What kind of tires did they use for the top speed run? Does it still spin like a top even in the hands of experienced professionals?

 

The car is real and is drivable. Seating comfort is very good as is headroom. Car at Pebble was pre production but nicely finished. Real potential US buyers can test one in Jan. Car looks better in real life than in photos. 300k euro deposit against 1,300,000 euro price delivery next year.

There will be US cars and one was sold at Pebble to a US buyer. Production is hoped to be 300. If any of you are serious pm me and I'll point you in the right direction.

I heard that in order to reduce the time to production, initially they're only going to be available in 1 colour...Elephantine White?

 

Being Fuglier than even the Schmenzo ? LOL

 

Well, I have to admit that I always thought it was a outstanding design. I like the car a lot. And to accomplish putting down that power (on Michelin tires) is a pretty darn good deal. Interior is a little uninspiring but the car looks great to me. That one in the pics can't be production ready? Or do you sign a waiver saying that it will never see rain? All that open deck engine area look won't like water.

 

certainly is ugly in pictures...cant wait for the first official road test to see what its like to drive...i wish it wasnt so heavy

 

Unless I failed my Algebra class, I calculated this thing, from top speed, has an average deceleration of a little over 1.15 g. Is this good or bad considering how heavy this baby is?

 

Hi
They told me this one was still pre production but it was pretty finished. They also said US Version was absolutely happening. The car was driving all over. Very professional presentation. As my friend at pf pointed out the wheelbase is very short for all that HP.

Averaging 1.15 g over those 10 seconds, that is more of a function of brake durability than sheer power.
At a speed of 250 MPH, the 1950 kg veyron has about 25 million joules of kinetic energy. Brakes work by turning that energy into heat through friction. If my math is correct that's enough heat to boil 20 gallons of room-temp water ... in 10 seconds.

 

an owner of a 512M complaining about other cars being ugly. That's interesting

 

the 512M is gorgeous the Schmenzo looks like it escaped from a Godzilla movie

I seriously love the car. Is that serious enough to know if there will be one, say ... in NY at some random showroom for a while? I'm pretty sure it's never gonna make it to Canada, so NY isn't too far away ...

 

I think it's likely one will be at an auto show or two maybe CIAS.

i know styling of cars is a matter of taste, but if you think the veryon is better looking than williams 512m, then i would recommend a neurosensory medical evalution!!!! just kidding, but the 512m spider is beautiful to my taste...the bugatti, is ...well, i don t know what it is ..it is different,thats for sure...i will take a test drive though..that would be wild!!!!

 

That's the best color!!
