Sweet lil vid of these four Uber cars. Watch the instant go "button" from the Zonda at around 1.20 seconds into video... :wink:

[pterps]

Oh why didn't they show the Veyron acceleration!!!

Thanks for the vid harry.

[jorge]

the part when the zonda accelerates is awesome :o

Thats how any high horsepower car looks hitting the gas alongside someone cruising at a constant speed ;)

[JoeHahn]

Carrera GT out-accelerating an Enzo through gears? 8)

[sentra_dude]

Cool vid, I wonder what excuses we'll hear for the CGT pulling on the Enzo...

Even laggy turbo ones?

Well I do believe they were doing some "pulls" it just appears the Zonda was in the right gear and hit it right compared to the CGT drivers reaction time.

[TNT]

still a cool movie, that CGT sounds so nice.

And those pulls were impromptu on the freeway - which is why evry signle "this vs that" video on the intardweb showing freeway "pulls" prove nothing ;)

[TeflonTron]

Any fast car that nails the accelerator before the other fast car will naturally pull ahead. As RC says: these videos may be fun to watch but they aren't 100% proof of anything.

[spanky]

Nice to hear them cruising around. Thanks for the link 8)

[Kulstad]

I think it would be a great idea if they offered a DVD in every mag, to subscribers (or non subscribers if it wasn't too costly), with extended clips at a better resolution from the various cars they test.

No doubt that is proves nothing but still it is impressive.

That's spankin. Is that the current issue? It's a hard magazine to find in the US. Borders has it sometimes, but not consistently it seems. Or they only get a few mags and it sells out sometimes. I'm going to have to look for it... :shock:

[EnzoLover]

I have the magazine now with me :mrgreen:

[StanAE86]

Is it Sept. 2006 or Oct. 2006? Or was it Aug. 2006?

-S

[EnzoLover]

October.

Well here's a 0-60 vid from Evo of the Veyron

[martin100]

I think he didn´t use the launch control cause the tires didn´t squeel. At least it´s the first 0-60 vid around.

BTW someone has to scan the article for us. Can´t wait to read it :twisted:

[StanAE86]

You don't really get a feel for how fast that car is because it's almost like they just stopped the clock. I wish they showed the speedo winding up like an RPM gauge.

In this clip you get a better feel, but it's so fast it looks like it's in fast forward...but the people are moving around normal:

:shock:

[StanAE86]

Yeah, I know. I put it up in case Martin had never seen it, and so it could be compared to this more recent clip. That's why I didn't start a new thread. So...a Stan with good reason! :wink:

[TeflonTron]

LOL. It can go faster too.

[martin100]

Thanks for this nice acceration clip Stan :mrgreen:

[tforth]

Yeah, but have you seen this clip yet?

I tried a direct link from evo's site, but couldn't find it there. Looks like they're teasing us with tidbits, here and there.

I can only hope that they captured some comparative accel runs with the sonde F and Enzo, which should provide enthusiasts with a better sense of what a really fast road car means now. Hopefully this would go a long way to reducing the noise the Veyron bashers are making...

[JoeHahn]

Hilarious how they write the car off for not sounding 'evoking' enough - just because it doesnt whine like a V10 or a V12 doesnt mean it doesnt sound good..

The Veyron

[Kinxy]

can someone please post scans ???

[espen]

In the article, they describe how the Veyron is so much faster that the Enzo owner decides to admit defeat and get one of them instead. According to evo, the Veyron is the fastest car they've ever driven. And they've driven such things as the TVR Speed 12 and Radical SR8 8)
