it's a bit to short but you can see factory test driver pushing the Veyron to the limit on this year Prescott hillclimb event, check out the no TC launch
the action starts on 2:30 mark

Wow, first time that I've seen it launch hard without TC. I wonder why they did that? For dramatic effect?

It is impressive to see something spin 4 tires that wide, with near 4000 lbs on them, without dropping the clutch!

The fastest way for it to pull away would be without TC

Where did you hear that from? I have heard from several different sources that they spent extensive development time to perfect LC, and that it will only get into the mid 2s with it engaged. The last time Raphanel (sp?) launched at Prescott, he was using LC. Clearly it's not as dramatic, but as I have stated, it's supposed to be faster.

I agree, I don't think it is as fast without the LC.

I've been waiting more Veyron videos and this one is great.
Thanks!:thumbup:

4WD will not be able to tame the 1000 horses. Without TC, I am pretty sure it will just leave along line of rubber on the ground.
