It's official. The Veyron did not lap the TG test track.
From yesterday's Sunday Times Driving section:
Bugatti that ran on empty
Viewers of Top Gear last weekend may have wondered why the Stig did not put the Bugatti Veyron through its paces. With a top speed of 252mph, it could have set a new record for the TG track.
Unfortunately the model featured on the show wasnt quite so nippy. The £800,000 supercars are so hard to come by, the producers had to make do with a dummy model.
Underneath its much-admired exterior was nothing but, er, hot air.
"We couldnt get a real one for the show", admitted Jeremy Clarkson. "But we hope to get the Stig to test one on the TG track in the spring."
Of course the Veyron that Clarkson raced across France, against his fellow presenters in a plane, was for real.
