Bugatti Veyron winter testing pics
 
:shock: I can't imagine pressing this car around this snow track, even
if you have the best traction control systems in the world.
Enjoy the pics..

very cool to see them testing it on snow. maybe they're thinking of entering rallying? :P

This is like a rally car with those lights kit on the front... The Bugatti Veyron is really a technological wonder and a pure exotic car. :D

I know I am dreaming, but if this can be feature as one of the rally cars in GT4, it would be so awesome.

seen a couple of those pics in another thread, but not all of them so nice job. I can't imagine driving something so powerful in the snow, AWD or not.

Here's the other thread

yep. exclusive to the stylish ones ;)

(pssst...if i had the cash, i'd buy it in a second)

this is gonna be one million right? I think id get that Diablo SVTT the only one made and call it a day, either that or a McLaren F1, if i could find one for a good price. Maybe a F50 or PCGT, or a Saleen S7 over this car. It looks good, but just to damn busy.

ferrari550 02-02-2005 12:05 PM

Amazing pics man, thanks a lot.

I am still holding my breath until it comes out

Fleischmann 02-02-2005 12:13 PM

Even with AWD it must be a bitch to dive in those conditions!!

TransAm 02-02-2005 12:34 PM

Well it is difficult enough to put down 500hp through 4 wheels, let alone twice that!

adamwich 02-02-2005 12:49 PM

Thanks a lot. Nice pics! I would love to be the test driver!

yeah, $1 Million.

i believe when it's launched officially, it will set the record for the most expensive production car and the most powerful production car.

As much as i love Mac F1s, Enzos, etc.....there's something about this Bugatti which makes me want it more than any of those.

BTW, i was talking to my "insider" last night...and he was telling me WHY Bugatti are testing the car in such snowy conditions ------- he told me they aren't testing it for traction/all-weather/or winter testing.

he said that what they do is put huge snow tires on this car and test it's maximum traction and something called "coefficient of friction"...supposedly if a car can be controlled fully on snowy purposes on winter tires, than it can easily be controlled on dry surfaces with regular tires.

He also said that many Veyrons have been crashed during dry testing, and testing a car like this in the SNOW reduces the risk of crashing the cars since they have found large spaces to push the car to its limits in the snow.

Also, he said the whole VW/Audi group are now doing this with all their cars, and the new Bentleys are currently in Alaska being tested the same way!

Exactly why id have to get the Diablo, the McLaren of the PCGT. I dont want a car thats easy to drive, thats not a hyper/supercar. I want a car that i have to tame, a challenge.
