Not sure how many people have seen this, but i thought its definately worth making a thread for;

Teaser:

-Majority of the systems and mechanics are directly from F1 :uh-huh:

-64 Valve 8.0L Quad Turbo W16 Engine with Electronic Constant variable valve timing, dry sump system borrowed from F1

-Produces 1000hp and has constant 4wd

-Seven gear, dual clutch system, sequential shifting and paddle control that shift gears in 0.2sec

and it looks fairly good too, i think we may have the worlds best car :burnout:

Its a supposed pasenger car (still concept) with a cost of over 1 Million USD! :Paranoid:

and thats just the beginning...

also spun/crashed at two demonstration runs,

AND got pushed back a year from the original release date because it didnt pass VW's quality control tests. i would be a bit annoyed if i put down a deposit for one.

Annoyed? are you insane? Obviously 1000hp would be hard to control and harder to pass regulations

Go read about it properly and watch the videos, there isnt any car in the world ide rather have

especially watch the 4 turbo system video :D

it spun/hit the wall on high speed test roads(banked rings) and they admitted there was definetly a problem with the suspension setup...

regulations was not the problem, it was that the car didnt pass the parent company's OWN regulations..

of course i would be annoyed, its not that its taking ages, its that its taking ages PAST the date they said it would be released! ie. they stuffed up!

its looking like one of those supercars that ends up being a flop...

edit: (although dont get me wrong i wouldnt mind one if it worked properly!!!)

i personlly prefer pagani zonda, porsche carrera gt or an ferrari enzo..

the bugatti is too focused on top speed runs the others are drivers cars also capable of good top speed...

did u know that if you are gonna try and hit top speed in the veyron bugatti will send u a new set of tyres just for that? it puts so much stress on tyres that it is dangerous to use anything less than new tyres if attempting to hit the claimed top speed..

so your faulting a car thats still in concept stage? :D

bugatti has done something completely original here, and with new technologies and designs comes many problems to overcome, thats how a great car is made

lets talk about the engine, body, transmission, price, speed, power... not that its suspension still needs development (hence its still concept) or its release date has been moved because none of us have the funds to buy one anyway :D

its not in concept stage! its meant to be on the roads now! the 'great car' was meant to be made already!!!!!

and its not the first time that most of the stuff on that car has been done...

i give up...

fine the 4 turbos is sort of interesting..

does that mean 4 blow of valves? lol. "ive got 4 bov's bro"

although wats with the guy in the video calling them turbo-superchargers LOL and about how they stop the 'DREADED TURBO HOLE" LOL!

i think it must be a direct translation or something....

well it certainly is still in concept, and its most definately not a new thing for cars not to make their expected and stated release dates

its the first time all the stuff on that car has been put together as one package, who else has a W16 not V16, 64 valve 8.0L quad turbo 7gear 1000hp pasenger car almost ready for release?

i doubt it would have 4 bov. most probably 1 for each 2 turbos, but there isnt any info on it

hate on it all you want siks as you obviously dont like it, but i say props to bugatti for being so creatively crazy because thats how most of todays technology has been achieved.

how anyone can not like this car is beyond me :confused:

back to drooling :D

I guess because the rest of the world has known about this car for a few years at least and it never seems to get any closer to release. I watched those videos you're talking about a year ago and was impressed but nowdays it's more like vapor-car. They keep promising and never deliver.

see knore! its not just me :D

and it is NOT A CONCEPT!!!!!!!!

concept cars are are those created more to judge whether to build the car or just to show off the skills of the company, this car is wayyyyyy past that its a production car that hasnt made it!

im surprised u havnt heard more about it!

ok well i was trying to start an optimistic discussion about an insanely technologically advanced car, obviously that didnt work

and it IS still a concept mate, goto the bugatti website and have a read :D

either way, thanks for ruining the thread, i didnt realise it has been around for ages, i simply thought it was insane and wanted to talk about it

have a nice day

I welcome this thread to last year.

Bugatti can't make it work. I heard they have trashed plenty of engines and driveline componets and can't make it reliable enough to provide any kind of warranty. It's ugly as sin too. It's not going to be sold EVER.

The Chiron is the one to watch concept car wise in their line up.

yay! finally some optimism

yeh i think its intended purpose is to actually be the fastest production car available hence taking the mclaren f1 to school.

theyve still got work to do by the look of it, but the hardest bits are out of the way already :D

If it makes 1001hp on standard boost, wonder what it'l make with some higher boost, or possibly replace the 4 turbos with 2 big singles :drooling: :drooling:

I can only imagine what 1000hp+ and 4wd would feel like, im assuming it would make the car strafe at full power on most turns!

I wonder what this would run the quarter in? It certainly has the power, grip and transmission. No info on weight yet.

whoever said the mclaren has been out for this long and does it with natural aspiration.. obviously they have an advantage because the mclaren f1 was designed many many years before, and go read about the problems they had with it during testing.

Anyone who complains about this taking too long etc obviously doesnt understand what it takes to make the worlds fastest car. Bugatti obviously is still no happy with it, which is a good thing, because they want it to be perfect before it has a chance to show its muscle to the world.

I welcome this thread to last year.

Well i actually searched for bugattie and veyron and didnt find a single thread so i thought it was atleast new enough for people to see that hadnt seen it already, so welcome to now everyone else :D

And how are you so confident it will 'NEVER' be sold ever, thats a pretty big statement unless you work for bugatti. Obviously engine tuning and reliability are the hardest issues to overcome with over 1000hp standard, have u read how much money and time went into the mclaren f1 engine? and how many times they couldnt get everything to work properly?

No company would put this much work into a car then just scrap it. Ugly as sin? In your eyes maybe, doesnt look so bad to me.

Yeh interior is pretty lame, but i wouldnt be looking at the interior with 1000hp and 4wd :drooling:

I spose at the end of the day you could build a 1000hp R34 GTR for a quarter of the price, and ide rather the GTR, but this car deserves some discussion

take a chill pill knore

Interesting thread though. Thanks for the info.

No worries, i just didnt want people coming saying one sentence bad things about it

if the thread was, wats the faults with bugatti etc then ide be fine, but i wanted a positive thread

anyways, where did you get 8.8sec from? cos thats nuts!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
