Saving for my next car: Bugatti 16.4 Veyron >250MPH $1.2

Postby rmorella on Wed Jan 04, 2006 10:04 pm

1001 Horsepower
(8 litre 16 cylinder engine)

$1.2 M USD

Top speed: 250 MPH
0-60 time: 2.46 seconds
0-125 time: 7.3 seconds

all wheel drive, 922 lb/ft torque

Driving impression as test driver Andrew Frankel nails the throttle in second gear:

"At first, I thought some unseen being was committing an act of physical violence on me. I was not pushed back in the seat so much as thrown against the rear bulkhead as if hurled rearward by the shockwave from a bomb detonating just a few yards ahead. By the time it even occurred to me to change gears, the horsepower meter (oh yes, it has one of those, too) had flung its needle past 1,000."

If light has no mass, why does it take so much force to turn on the light-switch?

I don`t see any point in this thread. Btw, the Bugatti is cool. I'd buy it, but I'm too lazy to shoping Razz

Hehe.... the Veyron.... that thing's AWESOME.
I got to see one upclose (sort of) a few weeks ago at the Los Angeles auto show. Man, they had a 2-foot thick black marble wall around the car, and it was probably a good 7 or 8 feet beyond that. Really damn paranoid about it.
Pretty sweet lookin' beast, though.
And 1001 horsepower stock.... *drools*
Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
