The Bugatti Veyron is making it to production! And yes it's faster than a Mclaren f1 - in fact, give a macca a 10 second headstart and the Bugatti will still match it to 200mph. 60 in 2.5 seconds, 100 in 5, 200 in under 20 on to 252mph and they say its as easy to drive as a Bentley Is that a good thing or not?



987bhp (1001ps) is the official figure but that's a minimum figure - at the right temps apparently that rises up to over 1050bhp. The engine has no cover which is for cooling purposes - clearly a nod towards Volkswagens air cooled history .



What else.. oh yeah a quote from the journalist driving it: "I press the accelerator halfway to the floor in fourth at 45mph. The Veryon takes off like a 911 takes off when you dump the clutch at 7500rpm in first."



Someone on here was also questioning whether a manual gearbox could handle torque, well I just found one that can

It is a very impressive vehicle, but 16 cyl, 7sp tranny, 4 turbos, and 4wd and that price it better be the greatest performing production car.
