AutoCar - 223mph in a Bugatti Veyron
 
Chris Harris goes really fast on the German Autobahn at night.
I'm still no big fan of the car, but watch the acceleration near the end of the video from 120-280km/h. It is mindblowing!

that acceleration is insane :shock: never seen anything like that

the A5, got it right at the footstep here, but i don't have a Veyron, oh damn :lol:

Yeah, but do you think this will be enough for the Veyron to get some respect around here..?

Chris must be on the 'payroll', right? Or, he is not qualified enough to judge this car, or any number of other excuses to avoid what must seem like many now, to be the obvious.

Ok "tforth" ha ha.

I definately respect the Veyron for what it can do, but would never buy it (should I be fortunate enough to be in that positon). IMO my ultimate supercar has to have a naturally aspirated, high revving engine with individual throttle bodies, has to have a manual gearbox, RWD and should be as lightweight as possible. In other words, it should be as pure a driver's car as possible. The Veyron has none of that so I think it can never be "the ultimate supercar" that a lot of people claim it to be.

The ultimate speed machine it is... the ultimate supercar, not so much :wink:

That speedo shot at the end is truly incredible! I knew it would be fast but this is insane!

Is there a way to save or download this vid?

Freaking awesome speed! Just amazing at the end... Watched it a few times in a row... Awesome 8) 8) 8) Speed machine Indeed

Uhm - its 1000bhp, 1 million bucks, 4wd and a super-computer controlled transmission, engine managemnt and electronic driver aids... what else did anyone expect?

Is it the fastest street car out there? No.

Is it the fastest accelerating street car out there? No.

Is it the fastest PRODUCTION car? Yes.. bt so what - for a million bucks, more computer control than a space craft and 1000bhp shouldn't it be? ;)

223mph is just not that amazing anymore.

:P
