Fastest Production Car In The World

[alphamale]

My son just sent me this and i was amazed. I have never seen anything like it. The driver walks you through the important stuff like our tires will last 55 minutes at this speed. wow, fun. Wish i had one.

I used WMP and the file menu open a URL:

lol! :)

I don't mean to criticise really but that clip has gone round Youtube more often than the Star Wars kid clip! We get it - the Veyron is a quick car!

[_-Psycho-_]

Saw it when it was on tv. Great clip, thanks for bringing it up again :) Love seeing it.

Sorry, i don't youtube. Thought it was worth sharing. Glad you knew about it. So there could be others that live under a rock and this is for them.

Some will argue that the SSC Ultimate Aero is now the world's fastest production car. Some will say the requirment of special gas disqualifies it. Just to add an update to the arguement.

wow thats fast, what constitutes a production car, the mcclarren f1 for instance held the record in the early 90's for fastest car I believe, but it wasnt nearly as advanced is this

I'll never get bored of that :D

How did I KNOW this was going to be a top gear clip?

I'll never tire of top gear stuff, though.

There's no argument to this. Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero uses Premium Unleaded - 91 Pump Octane.

:whistle:

Both are fast, yet only a few will drive them that fast. Period.

Really, that's not an argument. The whole of Europe gets 91 RON as a minimum. The USA is about the only pace I can think of where 85 is average, afaik. And really, you could retune the engine to work better on whatever you're using over the pond, and it wouldn't hurt performance much. In fact, you could raise compression a bit, and lean the fuel mix a bit, and you're firing on all cylinders. (A Chemical Engineer at an Oil Refinery explained that for an average Joe's car, premium fuel is not worth the extra cost.)

But 91 is mass-produced. It really does count.

Agreed, where are you going to find a stretch of road to hit their top speed? Legally? And now what, you have proved you can go fast in a straight line. Yippee. Maybe race it on a course? That is one expensive piece of equipment to be risking (600k or 1.5m). Who and what would you race against? Do they have a rich prick racing league?

[wst50]

Well, that's the main thing. The Veyron is not designed to race. It is a fast cruiser. The McLaren F1 was designed to be raced (and was), but the Veyron was designed to show that luxury and hyperspeed aren't mutually exclusive. Doesn't mean it wold win a race against an Enzo or something.

Yes. :laugh:
