Jeremy Clarkson Times Online Review (TopGear Host) Nov. 27th 2005

Another Review from Edmunds
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...icleId=108032#4

made a mistake. sorry

Is it 210 in km/h or mph?

wow

mph

No way that was mph, wayy to fast. it was about 0-100kpm in 3 seconds, which is almost the same as 0-60.

Buggati does say 0 - 60 MPH in 3 seconds and top speed of 252 mph.

Nice car, i don't really like the front though, but from behind it looks awesome. The shot where the car is wiating on the railroad crossing. That could be from some ad.

Impossible! why didnt they show the gauges?

yeah acceleration appears to be awesome

don't forget is a 1000 bhp engine here. this car is a monster.

bummer, not as exciting as i thought it was going to be... nice car though

it is bugatti, not buggati.

however, nice videos!

Ohh it sounds soo sexy, that engine sound omg

oohoohoohooh.....

1000 BHP sounds like sex.

That take-off shot when they watched it speed away was pretty cool.

Would have liked more track footage though. Especially some high-speed passes.

OMG!!! Damn I need a tissue.

he said 60 when the tires were screeching. besides i cant see anything. need better footage, like, i need the stig.

I noticed that as well. I'd like to see a camera on the gauges to verify that. Either way, that car is wicked.

1000 + 1... u left out one of the horses....

A nice Edmunds video of the orginal blue veyron.

Jeremy Clarkson Written Review


http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0...90873_1,00.html


"But once you go past 200mph it isn’t just the suspension and the tyres you have to worry about. The biggest problem is the air. At 100mph it’s relaxed. At 150mph it’s a breeze. But at 200mph it has sufficient power to lift an 800,000lb jumbo jet off the ground. A 200mph gust of wind is strong enough to knock down an entire city. So getting a car to behave itself in conditions like these is tough.

At 200mph you can feel the front of the car getting light as it starts to lift. As a result you start to lose your steering, so you aren’t even able to steer round whatever it is you can’t see because of the vibrations. Make no mistake, 200mph is at the limit of what man can do right now. Which is why the new Bugatti Veyron is worthy of some industrial strength genuflection. Because it can do 252mph. And that’s just mad — 252mph means that in straight and level flight this car is as near as makes no difference as fast as a Hawker Hurricane.

You might point out at this juncture that the McLaren F1 could top 240mph, but at that speed it was pretty much out of control. And anyway it really isn’t in the same league as the Bugatti. In a drag race you could let the McLaren get to 120mph before setting off in the Veyron. And you’d still get to 200mph first. The Bugatti is way, way faster than anything else the roads have seen."


The TOPGEAR Episode on the Veyron is on mininova. 700 mb. wow!

http://www.mininova.org/tor/174930

Veyron is a beast and its is really a dream car.
I would like to spin one of these but i think that guys from buggati
wouldnt allowed a 16 year old to do it

I think thats 210 kph, if you time it, he said 100 after about 3 seconds, which is the 0-60 MPH time it will do, not the 0-100MPH time.

Too bad its pwned by the Saleen S7 1000BHP model....
Faster acceleration, similar top speed .... a million (dollars?) less in price
oh and better handeling due to being 500kg's lighter


But sure... its a nice car if you got a nice fat bank account

note that 1000bhp isn't so hard to achieve you can get that much power from a corvette or a dodge viper... but they are not even close to the technology of this car, producing power is one thing but using it a something totally diffrent

You guys might find this an interesting read:

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/bugatti.htm

It's all about how the veyron manages to achieve 1001BHP

Edit: Another interesting thing to note is that each car costs about 5mil to produce, yet they sell them for 1/5th of that. This is purely a technology showoff and was described by Jeremy Clarkson as the concorde of automobile history. We are unlikely to see anything surpass this in the near future the way the environment is going.

That had to be Km/h they got to 210 in like 6 seconds...and only in 4th gear...i dunno about that one

hahahha
rofl what are you smoking cause i want some.

putting a mustang and a viper in the same category.. shame on you.


but in response to the above poster, the car costs about 7mil usd to produce and is being solt at aout the same as about 1.5 mil usd. the reason being is that vw (yes its a vw, based on the vw w16 concept car) manufactored the car as the equivilant of a tech demo. I think clarkson was right in saying this car is the equivilant to the car world as the concord was to the airplane world. Sadly though i dont think a single person will ever be able to drive one of these in our lives save winning the lottery. And I dont think anything is going to come close technologically wise for a long time.

it truely is a thing of beauty.

Actually, if you are talking about the Volkswagen Concept car that ran at Nardo, it was a w12. The veyron has a w16 made from 2 Audi v8s.

Which is still a VW, so I think his point stands.

... shame on me? shame on you for misreading me
I didn't put the cars in the same category and its obvious from my post.
I gave the Veyron the credit of using 1000BHP to the full potential.

saleen s7 is not really a mustang

*points to VW Addict*
Yes, I know.
But he said w16 concept car

Heres the Bugatti episode on topgear thats not a torrent...

A bit crap, but you should get the idea.

http://www.youtube.com/?v=uJHCFZNFZZA

POWAAAAAH!

It's more Audi than anything else

It has an Audi DSG transmission, and Audi engine, an Audi Quattro drivetrain. Although technically Bugatti falls under VW's control (whereas Lambo falls entirely under Audi's control).

And yes, Audi is owned by VW, but there are a lot of distinctions between Audi-developed technology (FSI, TDI, DSG, Quattro, and all of Audi's engines like the 1.8T, 2.0T, 4.2L, 5.0L, etc) and VW technology (VR6 and other VW-developed engines like the inline-5 in the mk5 Jetta and the various VR6 engines).

Thanks for that. The car has 10 radiators. lol 100 litre petrol tank that you can finish in 12 minutes driving at the top speed. The saleen has nothing on this. this is magnificent auto engineering...5 years in the making.

5Million per car to make as well...according to Mr. Clarkson

crazy stuff on that top gear episode...what amazes is the £5,000,000 PRODUCTION cost, but only a £850,000 retail price. does anyone know if they made more than 1? or how many they made xactly? cause i wouldnt think VW would make so many at around £4,150,000 loss.

Yes, thats true. You can buy them, and they make such a loss because it was built to see if it was possible.

This is my main annoyance at the Veyron. I'm sure that the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, Lambo etc could make as good a car with money being no object but they have to make cars that are financially viable. That's why I still think the F1 is the greatest car ever

Main annoyance? That's the greatest thing about the Veyron!! That VW was willing to step up and do it! I'm glad it's not a Ferrari or whatever...it's even more of a statement that it essentially came out of nowhere from Bugatti.

I think I read in my newspaper that this is the fastest and most expensive car on the earth, and only 1000 units are available. Top speed is faster than an F1 car. Amazing.

I won't call a big company like VW that has Audi, Lamborghini and Bugatti under its control "out of nowhere"
besides, Bugatti been around for ages

Bugatti have been at the super (hyper?) car game for a long time - they are not a new name. Its just that the EB110 nailed them really and it took a long time before any company dared to take that name on and make a product worthy of its heritage!

VW/Audi group have done it justice and produced a masterpiece of engineering - and in the process they have silenced a LOT of naysayers and doubters who said it couldn't be done. It has been done, and its a masterpiece. My only gripe is that i'll probably never see one, never get to sit in one, and never ever get the chance to drive one

VW are taking a huge loss on each Veyron but its basically done three things for them:

a) Along with Lamborghini, got them well and truely comfortable in the supercar market
b) Proved to be an invaluable piece of engineering research for their engineers
c) Given the advertising and bragging rights beyond their wildest dreams. I mean who isn't talking about the Veyron now its here?!

If you really look into the details it will baffle you. lol

I just noticed the Mad Torque coming out at the RPM level. 2200 rpm 992 lb ft. jessuss! when this car moves off hard it must kick you in the chest with those 4 turbo's.


Torque 922 lb ft @ 2200rpm

Yeah.. I bet you really feel that sort of torque!!

Phenominal power really.

Oh and er.. you might all enjoy this 'in car' video of the Veyron cruising round a track.. the guy isn't really pushing it but the noise of it! Oh my GOD!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1830920854455243720

Yes, I know Bugatti has been around for a long time. My point was, it's been dead for awhile. While still significant, it wouldn't be as big of a splash if Ferrari, or Lamborghini, or any of the other established supercar brands made a car with the Veyron's specs -- because they have modern stepping stones to get there, and whether or not they're owned by the same company as Bugatti makes no difference to the general public. They're different brands -- and since Bugatti really had no other modern cars when the Veyron was concieved, it was a big leap for the brand -- hence why I said "out of nowhere" -- even if they did have the engineering backing of VW/Audi.

Thats true I suppose but then its also the case that Bugatti was previously known for its slightly outlandish cars - the EB110 had a 60 valve, quad cam 3.5 litre V12 with 4 turbo's strapped to it. It was sort of inevitable that the successor to that car had to be something similar, just on steroids

Although the fact that it was in the hands of VW would have suggested that (as you say) something more sensible was going to be the end result.. guess that wasn't going to be the case

you can let an F1 car get to 150mph before the bugatti takes off and it the bugatti will still beat the F1 to 200MPH. They did a whole show in this car on final gear, its simply awesome. but it uses a full tank of gas in 12 minutes ^_^.

Well no, it doesn't - not in normal driving anyway. Will use it all in 12 minutes if its going absolutely flat out though. But then what do you expect if you're doing 252MPH in a 16 cylinder, 8 litre, quad turbo hyper car?

One thing I noticed about it that was sort of weird but sounded cool was that it must use some air assisted / pressure system on the brakes - on Top Gear, a couple of times when Clarkson pulled up in front of the camera to stop, there was a sort of hiss noise like the sort a bus makes when it pulls up. Anyone know any more about that or whats causing the noise?

This car in all honestly looks like ****. It's very cool, very fast and we would all love to own one, but I don't understand the people who rave about how sexy it is... The hood of this car reminds me of a flaccid penis, hanging down between two testicular front fenders. The back looks like it's not even a part of the car, like it's half an eggshell held on by the spoiler that cracked through it, that's eventually supposed to come off and reveal the real rear end. This car has many strengths but sexiness is not one of them

Wow, what a very detailed, grotesque description...

How can the company survive by building monsters? 800,000 quid does grow on trees, but imagine how many you'd have to cut down to get that much!
