Buggati Veyron
i just got done watching top gear, and they finally got to take the Bugatti Veyron around their track.
it was expected to be the fastest, but wasn't. In fact it was the fifth fastest around the track getting beat by a Zonda, Koinenzeg (which i'm sure i spelt wrong), and i can't remember the rest. to me this just shows that power isn't everything. |
Ya i cant believe it either the Zonda killed it and the Gumpert is still on top. Still think its crazy it wasn't the fastest car.
|
yeah Jeremy said that the car was just to heavy to get a good lap time in.
|
the zonda f is a great car it was builted by an argentinian and the F is for fangio a famous argentinian racer who help him to built the car
|
interesting...i honestly might take that Zonda over the Buggati
|
i never thought it would be the fastest around the track. it just weighs to much to go around those corners fast enough.... i mean, its not the ONLY car to go around that track with that power to weight ratio... but it does dominate in the straights, it even owns bikes
|
Well the RX8 went around the track in 131.8 :) Same time as the M3 and 350z lol.
|
I'd still take the veyron. whats the top speed? something like 220? thats ridiculous....
|
no, it is ELECTRONICALLY limited to 252 haha

the 350 that they tested was the 03 that had less power, and they haven't retested it since the newer one, i belive 05 or 06, came out with more power. let me restate not trying to start an argument here. |

i download em. i have been current for awhile. no new episodes have aired in quite a few months. use finalgear.com
|
They finally took it around the track?! Anyone have a link to a video of it? Don't get it here in the US, or it's on at very weird times on the BBC channel here.
|
I saw it last night too. Also you can hear the engine sounded pretty low in the rev range most of the time. I bet The Stig had a hard time getting the 4 turbos to spool up and get into the car's power band. Definitely not a short track oriented car. I'm sure on a bigger track with higher speed corners it would kill.

yeah the air brake is amazing, and it comes on on BBC at 7pm every monday...at least where i live anyways.
|
You don't understand what a Veyron is if you think it should have beaten the record. It's a not a freaking track car... its a Grand Tourer designed to go extremely fast in comfort. For it to run a time like that is nothing short of amazing.
|
James May tested the top speed in the veyron. I forget where I saw it tho.....youtube? Anyway, I thought it was funny because they call him captain slow haha. I think May even said when he was slowing down that at 70mph, he felt like he could just hop out of the car after going so fast. pretty cool =)
