Buggati Veyron video 0 - 210 mph in cockpit cam


Recommended Posts

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?

its the turbos.

Ok here we finally have CAR and Driver's First Review 5 pages. :)

Oh and I think Clarkson may have exaggerated the 5 million Euro cost to make it.

And listening to the 0-210 run, it sounds like he says "60" after about 2.5 seconds and "100" after about 4. So I'd say it's within the realm of possibility that it's MPH - insane as that is.

Remember, if you let the Mclaren F1 get to 120 MPH, then start the Bugatti - the Bugatti will get to 200 first.

As for the wheels screeching, remember this thing has not only insane torque but also the best 4-wheel-drive system on the planet, along with the best transmission. With all that power making it to the wheel, I have no doubt you'd be screeching your way to 60 if you went all-out.

You can think of it as two Passat WR8 engines put together and pumped up by four turbos.

An error on their first page?

I'm pretty sure it's 2 Audi V8s. Not two Passat W8s.

It sets a load of ground in almost every department. Most writers just dont feel 200mph. BTW the total power output is 3000bhp. I'll tell you more. Just let me get my issue of CAR.

Ok got it,

To quote Wolfgang Schreiber, technical director of Bugatti,

"1000bhp is swallowed by the cooling system, 1000bhp goes through the exhaust apparatus, and 1000bhp is relayed to the four driven wheels"

That is absolutely manic!!!

Plus i also read that if driven flat out for 20 minutes, it can gulp down 100 litres of fuel.

Paranoid. But then for breaking world top speed records, u cant do it without losing something, can you?

I think on Top Gear they said flat out it will burn through its full tank in ~15 minutes or so. But remember that's about 15 minutes at 250 MPH... So you'll go a fair distance.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
