It may or may not be the worlds fastest car. I could build a bicycle in my garage and claim that it goes 0-60 in 1.2 seconds, and has a top end in excess of 300MPH.

Until it exists in real life, and is tested by an independent source, it remains simply made-up numbers on a page.

 

Based on the amount of money and time it took to develop the Veyron I call major BS on this. Just getting that much power to the tires to make that possible seems unlikely at best.

 

the back looks pretty hedious

maclaren(sp?) F1 is the fastest car in the world go watch top gears review on it its also built from carbon fiber, forward to about 5 minutes his first time mashing the gas his expression is hillarious and shows the real power of the car

 

front/side shot reminds me of the S7. the rear is just ugly. kinda reminds me of a Zonda, or an old... what were those called.... Vector???

If the car really has just over 1,000 H.P. (which is possable) then I could see those numbers being true if the car was light enough (again possible) and the tires were wide enough.

but lets just wait and see what the "real" number will be.

none the less it's a cool car!


I was a little suprised to see a dizzy in there. I expected Direct fire. new school chasis meets old school style power plant. (looks to me like a small block chevy with throttle body injection.) the best part is the twin turbo....

all well nice and simple.... the way I like it!

 

...no... the Bugatti Veyron is sitll thw worlds fastest production car. and iirc the world most expensive production car.

 

You're living in the past man

 

yes yes i am but its so much fun

 

owned.

 

That car looks awesome. Very excited for a reputable source (i.e. Car and Driver, Top Gear, Fifth Gear) to test it out.

 

You're right, the rear looks horrible, and the engine bay looks incomplete, or a kit car project...

 

the rear looks so similar with the Zonda F....

 

It looks like the front is smiling at me, with the headlights as the cheeks.

 

If some dude can built an Evo in his garage and make it faster than the Veyron I don't see why these guys can't do it with a far lighter car. The brilliance of the Veyron isn't as much how fast it is, but how refined and techologically advanced it is while being so fast.

 

How about a Lotec Sirius?

 

I agree. I was going to write something like that, but then I decided to go get a juice box instead.

With the Veyron you have some sense of reliability in terms of being able to run the engine hard for a long time in normal weather and road conditions. A lot of these other incarnations can only produce these numbers on the track or at the expense of overall drivability.

 

And that's what makes the veyron even cooler. They made it so fast and so powerful and made it driveable by even a normal person!

 

dont look at the Veyron as a car. it was a project to test the limits of human knowledge and power. that thing is a freaking wonder machine. thats why VW isnt making any profit from teh Veyron (theyre actually loosing money), but they knew what they were in for.

 

What EVO can hit 250, let alone exceed 200mph?

 

There are a couple 1000whp Evos in your city right now, they can trap over 165 MPH in the 1/4 mile. Weighing about 600 lbs. less and having more WHP than the Veyron they just need the gearing to be able to do it.

 

bitchin', but can they do better than 250? huge wings?
are they daily drivers?

 

^ dont forget aerodynamics...

 

I think the real question to be asked is whether or not it has a cheating turbo or not.

 

Eww this thing looks like a cheap kit car, like the replica's of the carrera gt sold on ebay...
