Has anyone actually tested the top speeds of the Aeros? All I've seen are figures based on mathematical calculations, no real world testing.

They are planning on entering a Top speed competition, set to be held in mid-2007. So as to make sure they win it, they keep on improving on its power. The target is 1500hp and 2500lbs.

A car with 1500BHP is going to need some serious downforce to keep it stable the veyron has ONLY 1000bhp yet it has a huge double spoiler 4wd and loads of other gizmos. How would this cope with 1500BHP. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

BUMP
new article about the SSC Ultimate Aero TT
http://www.classicdriver.com/de/maga...00.asp?id=4045
71% on the pedal gave 388km/h already, ..... they expect 440km/h (?) with 100% pedal down 
I'm not sure about this, since the power you need to get over the last km/h is a lot more than the ones youneed to reah 350, 380km/h ...
looks like the Veyron Speedrecord is possibel, but IMO not 440.

Who cares as long as it has the performance who cares.
And who says that it has no passion and soul?
I can say the same thing about the veyron it's big voorangs wagen(vw) afterall.

The spoiler on the Veyron is regressed when you want to go max speed. If it's up, it produces too much downforce and the car can't reach maximum speed...
