Default Veyron drifting on snow/ice

winter is getting closer, why not have a ride in a Veyron

I doubt it because it's expensive to do that.

^^^ That has always been my point. People keep comparing all of the above against the Veyron. They are nowhere near the technical accomplishment that the Veyron is. Anyone versed in any technical field should be able to understand this. However, this topic has still flown around here too many times to mention

I still find it kind of funny that even Steve Sutcliffe (Autocar video) said that the T1 is way faster than the Veyron. Reportedly, it has double the power to weight ratio, so what would you expect? Just try driving it anywhere other than a race track, and I would love to hear what the life expectancy of that 'detuned' Indy car engine is - please...

Cool. I'm not sure it would be that expensive, just use a press demo. Claim you write for an African Newspaper.
