^^ He7lius is right. You multiply not divide. Exactly, what you wrote means the litre lasts more than a second.

Also if i'm not wrong the fuel consumption isn't that bad really.

If it takes 0.111L/s / 16 cylinders = 0.0069375L/s/cynlinder
whish let face it, it's pretty good.

Thanks st-anger for the great article

I honestly don't see how an M5 will do anything of the sort...

Whilst the M5 is more than likely the 'better' car and quicker through the twisty bits etc etc, the sheer speed difference along the final straight (sorry I don't know the name) will destroy the early advantage

...na ja, soooooo viel / oft haben ja auch wir nicht gelegenheit 350+ zu fahren mit unseren autos
für mich hat Veyron NULL sinn aber als techniker is "er" einfach nur faszinierend - wenn auch mit detailschwächen - aber schließlich bekleidet das ding zweifelsohne vorreiterposition der technologieträger heute...
na ja, wie gesagt, leider hört sich der spaß nach den ersten km "echter" rennstrecke schon wieder auf...

btw, nett ein weiteres - der deutschen sprache mächtiges - mitglied zu haben

They have been tested on the mule of the upcoming Veyron GT. A stripped out version with 2002hp top speed of which will be limited to 450km/h. It would allegedly do 520km/h fully derestricted though.

1L/km at 400Km/h only used 0.11L/s not 9L/s you should still have 15minutes for the 100L tank to go empty.

However the range is only 100km !!!!! that's crazy!!!
