Buggati Veyron video 0 - 210 mph in cockpit cam


Recommended Posts

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

hahahha

rofl what are you smoking cause i want some.

putting a mustang and a viper in the same category.. shame on you. :no:

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.

... 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.

It's more Audi than anything else :p

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).

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

A bit crap, but you should get the idea.

POWAAAAAH!

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. :rofl: The saleen has nothing on this. this is magnificent auto engineering...5 years in the making.

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 los:huh:uh:

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 :D

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 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! :blink: :wacko: 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!

:rolleyes: 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 :shiftyninja:

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!

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
