Bugatti Veyron at top speed
- Thread starter montanablur
- Start date
It made my eys water too. I've become a big fan of this car. It's simply a FANTASTIC work of engineering and art.
wreckedexotics.com just posted a couple pics of the first one wrecked on the street if anyone's interested.

WOW!
I'd live with just a drive of the car, but I'd love to have unlimited access to that test track!

I was wondering when someone would actually do that. That's amazing.
The car is just what Ettore would have wanted, speed without sacrifice. The Veyron exemplifies comfortable assaults on the laws of physics, complete and utter excess, and pushing our capabilities to the limits.
The track is definately something I'd love to drive in person. It's got a 5 mile straight for crying out loud! That's just a wonderous achievment. Look at the wonderful surroiunding terrain and the heavy banking. The engineering is outstanding from both a mechanical and aesthetic point of view.
I'll bet they have some great road courses there as well.
Sort of makes you wonder how much it cost to build the track, doesn't it? I mean, just what would it take to plant one over here? I wonder who all invested in it? Surely not just VW.

Anyone remember the Corvette Sledgehammer that Calloway built (a C4)? I remember him doing somewhere around 250mph in one.

The mighty Ruf 964(5) at the green hell! Goddam, that's driving!

Everytime I try to go to the BBC website when I attempt to look at past episodes my pc locks up.
That's because you're going about it the wrong way. Torrents FTW!!ChrismonDA said:
This was a great season of Top Gear. Hamster's return, the roadworks, America special, space shuttle car, the Stig driving tractors and falling out of the seat, Shelby GT 500, and homemade stretched limos. Can't wait for season 10!!
202 in an SLR scared the piss out of me. 253 would probably have scared the shit out of me

hmm, can't mention the actual website, as it's where 'pirates' go according to the Ripoff Industry Assholes of America... But it's on the www and is a final place all gearheads should go to complete their search.
and the stig falling out of the chair was priceless
. Good thing the door was latched.
That video gave me goosebumps. I would give my left nut for a week with that car. Hell, a day even.
