Bugatti Veyron at the Prescott Hill Climb
 
Here is the video:


Now you can start the typical arguments about the Veyron :D :roll:

For me it handles :wink: Thank you, it's rare to see a Bugatti on a track .

how can a flying pig not be special on a hill climb hehe 8) 8) :P

Too bad the drivers are told not to "push it" on Hill Climbs like these..

Still nice to see the flying pig in action though ;)


Some proper track beating of the Veryon would be something though.. especially when it's brakes melt off.

Thanks gangjas for taking the title of "Lord of the Links" from the non-existant Modprops :D

Saw the vid yesterday, there are some more on YouTube filmed from different viewpoints.
Funny to see such a big car on small narrow roads like these :P

Nice video!! It's very rare to see a Veyron beeing driven fast. And even more rare to see a supercar in such a dificult road. The driver must be good...

Who cares about the grip when you have 1000hp under your right foot :mrgreen:

It's like those full tuned old cars in Norway and Sweden with 500+ hp, or the Supras with 600/700 hp :wink:

1000 HP and a classic hill climb course, perfect combo :D !!

Soon comes RC and says that ofcourse the grip is good, because there' all the electronics of the world in that car :lol:
Thanks for the rare video! :D

Well - you have answered your own quandry.. what other "hill climb" cars have all those electronic aids?

What other "hill climb" cars weight 4000lbs?

You either rely on driver skill - or computer aids.. it is obvious what is being relied on here.. "point and shoot".

Let's see the same excercise with the aids all turned off. ;)

There is a reason the lighter less powerful GT3-RS dominates the heavier more powerful 4WD 911TT when driver skill is all that is on call ;)

TopGearNL 06-19-2007 06:45 PM

That Veyron looked pretty fast no denial in that, but Im sure that if you took a Kitcar against it on that track the differences are fairly small, it might even loose..

Because like RC said, on the end of the day nothing can beat driver-skill

So, I guess you guys didn't see the autocar video where they compared the Veyron against the GT3 RS, Gallardo SL, R8, etc. right??

In the corresponding mag review, Chris Harris took off in the GT3 RS on a twisty stretch of road. Steve Sutcliffe agreed to give him a 20s head start. The Veyron caught up with it rather quickly, and then blew past it on the first short straight.

As Chris and Steve state in this article: there is no other supercar that even compares with the Veyron's performance. "Nothing even comes close..."

But, they don't anything, right?

wow actually quicker than i thought it would be on those tight parts :D

I quote ''and then blew past it on the first short straight''

Not a surprise with 1000HP, Im sure that if it were only twisty bends without straights the GT3 RS would win..

Don't be so sure about that. With the million electronic aids the Veyron has, even in the tighest, twistiest road you can imagine... I'd put my money on the Bug :wink:

Could be, but who knows, nobody seems to do these tests.. :?
