I assume that was recorded before the Veyron managed the 252mph record last year, right?! :huh:;-)

The fly-bys are awesome, especially the last one well over 200mph!! :ohmy::drool:

And the SSC Ultimate Aero did what recently? :P :P

I love the fly-by, Ive done more then I can count, but none over 150.
thoes were great.
at a slower speeds (130) you can still see their reaction:mrgreen:

also when you split 2 cars next to each other on a sport bike:!::!:

Insane flyby, also quite disturbing on the fact that they do it on public roads.

I first thought it was naturally on the autobahn, but that was shot in the USA? I should change my opinion to disencourage driving like that on public roads, but those flybys are still unbelievable.:huh:



There is a thread on this over at Lambo Power. IIRC, the dude lives in Vegas, so I'm gonna guess thats where it was done. He also has a Veyron on the way, so I suppose we can expect high speed vids of that too.

PS, that color on the Lp is gorgeous.

speedo error, but it would be a good guess to say he hit at least 200. runs like these should be done GPS, like with james may and the veyron..

speedo error?
Why?

I think they mean the record for the LP640, rather then any production car.

I wonder how accurate the result is though, I don't think they used a GPS.

Agreed. The old V6 Jaguar XJ220 was 2mph shy of that mark back in 1993 lol

At 0:28 there's a sign with a huge sticker saying "CLOSED". I guess they're just refering to that exit... since the LP640 overtakes quite a few cars in the runs :huh:

I dont recall seeing cars being passed... what time points where the cars at?
