Not at all to that chassis.

That car is so perfectly aerodynamically designed, it's not funny.

Plus it's AWD, so, yeah. Hardcore launch, anyone?

Hiya Levon Nah, they won't need many more. That car was engineered for years to be aerodynamic. The car that needed the serious mods to catch up to it was the Zonda. (also an ungodly car...)
Can't wait to see the GT version, should be amazing. Wonder if VAG is going to try to be the first to hit the 300mph mark???

I wanna be on the waiting list for that lol.

It's a cool car, at WOT it's suppose to run out of gas in 12 minutes

6mpg in town

16mpg highway

10mpg combined.

Not actually that horrible.

With it's 26.5 gallon tank, that's roughly 265 miles on a tank.

Pretty damn good, if you ask me, for 1001bhp, 16 cylinders, and 4 turbos.

Oh, and you have to "unlock" the speed limiter to go above a certain speed.

It's a seperate key called the "top speed key". You have to insert it and turn it on before starting the drive to "unlock" your speed.

^^ never heard that one before

Yeah, it's kinda cool. It's in the rocker panel on the drivers side.

"A second key, the high-speed key, is used to release the top-speed mechanism before the ride. This aerodynamic configuration allows speeds above 375kph (c. 235mph). The lock is easily accessible, in the rocker panel on the drivers side."

Yeah, it doesn't say where you're limited to with it locked, but seriously, that's just way too fast...

those gas figures are probably shifting before you hit 200bhp. Last article I read said 3mpg at WOT and today I read an article that said WOT would last you 12 minutes.

It is an amazing car though, I just can't believe volkswagon was the one to make it

Those figures are from Bugatti themselves.

Of course, I had to go and painstakingly change those from european figures to american, cause it's comepletely different.

And I wouldn't say before 200bhp.

No such thing as way to fast.

[S4toSTI]

Levon is here yay. They said in theory it would take 12 more hp for every 1mph.

[EvlEgl]

^^ Im in his Sig

[S4toSTI]

Umm this isn't the say something about the person above you thread.

[EvlEgl]

My foot hurts like a bitch and i'm stuck inside...I'm bored.

Back on topic- I wanna see someone try and go that fast in a veryon...thatd be a sweet video
