Bugatti Veyron Dethroned Already?

[madbung]

7 speed DSG AWD

407km/h in production spec

and it actually sticks to the road at those speeds

Nuff said

[writeoff]

I doubt the Saleen would have the handling or braking package that the Bugatti has. Could the Saleen box handle the grunt? The tyres? Bugatti has looked at these issues and had the dollars to support the R&D. Naturally time (and customers) will tell if they got it right. I think the Bugatti would have more visual impact driving around than the Saleen whose shape has been around for years.

I'd choose the Bugatti.

Go the bug

[Intensevil]

whats the tru top speed of the veyron when its not limted?

[MearCat]

It's interesting to note that a car that puts out that amount of hp uses a single K&N (type of) filter (see engine bay pic on Page 1 of the thread). They must flow alright.

Engineers claim 450km/h, but it hasn't been tested as no tyre manufacturer makes suitable rubber.

It's easy to beat 400 in a straight line (well relatively ;-)

Put them both on the Nurburgring and see who wins over say 10 laps.

My money is on the Bugatti

True, Americans only know how to make their cars go fast in a straight line still.

As if the lot of you wouldn't get a V35 and whack a 3 point something litre twin turbo v8 in it, Top Secret style and smash em both for 1/10th the price (and have a back seat)

Yes, the bugatti is not just a 1000hp 4wd silly car

It really is a true push the limit of technology and physics pure racecar

Its basically a formula one equivelant road car with a warranty and reliablity way past 2 races

Yeah you could build a 1000hp GTR for 1/10th the price. But it would never be the same as the rediculously engineered veyron

It has set a benchmark that no company can reach, not without a billion dollars and the equivelant 7 or whatever years of development

And by then, they will have updated the veyron even more

[aussie_tul]

Veyron!!

[MR_MAD]

looks heaps better than the bugatti!

[Trust33]

hot! hot! hot!

I will never own one.

You're right.

Because Volkswagen wanted to commemorate their rich F1 history, by building a car that weighs over 2 tons (which says "F1 technology" to me).

[AlexCim]

It will be a true, BEAST.......... .... ... when it gets released!

haha

Have a look at this page

http://www.bugattipage.com/ride.htm

On another note, how often do you think you will be cruising at 400km/h in Australia. This car is way too much for Australia, specially on our crappy roads. Give me this in germany, AUTOBAHN BABY!

From that webpage

EPA city driving: 7 mpg = 40L/100

EPA highway driving: 10 mpg = 28L/100

Steady 253 mph: 3 mpg = 95L/100

Now stop whining about your bad "13L/100" fuel economy! hahahaha

note the word basically mate

and considering its faster than ferrari's 2005 spec F1 car AND weighs more than 1400kg more than it ...

Faster in a straight line only.

U will have to take the thing to a place like NT to get close to even 400 licks here in aus.

I think linsay fox has ordered one for his car museum here in vic so we might get to see one in person.

If they are only making em left hand drive like the carrera gt and enzo then we won’t see them on the road here in aus anyway.

i don't know how much of you know they Saleen, for those who watch top gear and some discovery channel show which reviewed all the current supercars, you would know that the saleen S7, not this new one, but the current one, can hold its own weight in down force. It can literally drive up-side-down apparently. It doesn't need 4wd because it has also been well designed.

People who read Jeremy Clarkson's review of the veyron would know that its top speed cuts down to about 340 or 360 (can't remember exactly) when the wing is up, otherwise it would be wayy too dangerous.

I'd take the saleen.

[nemz]

yeh the bugati cant handle for shit in high speed mode id take the saleen
