I'm anxious to see the Bugatti, I genuinely thought it would never go into production and if by some chance, they did make it..that it would be a joke..but from what I've read so far I seem to be very wrong...it should be interesting

I got the strange feeling that the Veyron race feature will be the best in TG history and the trailer at the end of ep. 4 makes this feeling even stronger

Not a chance IMO, Jeremy certainly had the car during the official car press release so I doubt they had the time to take it in England and then back (even at 253 mph ) But we can hope !!

I am not sure that it would beat the Zonda F, possible because the Top Gear track seems to be fast without some right-left corners that would penalise the Veyron due to its weight ...

Me thinks you're right!

I also seriously doubt that they will get to give it ot the Stig for a lap. If they did, There's no doubt in my mind that it would beat the Zonda F. It might be a bit slower through the corners, but it will more than make up for that in the straights.

Remember what's being said about this car. It's faster from 0-200 mph than a Mclaren is from 120 - 200. Thats speed like the world has never seen from a street-legal production car.
