Yepp I am the luckiest guy. I have not even see na road test on this car. I must have seen one of the first 20 of these cars. I was walking in downtown Berlin and see a Bently dealership. I went over to cehck otu the Continetal GT, and biggity Bam! I see a giant Bugatti logo on the side of the building as well. Take two more steps and about fall over. There is a Veyron!!

For those of you that do not know this is the new 16cyl 1001HP, $1,000,000 automobile offered by Bugatti. This car was absolutly georgous. I only was able to view it though the glass since it was around 10pm. I will attach two pics of it. IT has to have the widest tires I have seen on a factory car. THey look like 355+/35/20's or so. I do not know if you can get a 375, but the tires looked at least 12.5" wide each. The interior looked like art work. The car looked like artwork. Everything was perfect.

Did you see this in Berlin, Germany? (I'm guessing the towns of Berlin, OH WI PA NY NJ NH ND MD MA GA don't have Bugatti dealers!)

Well, there is a Berlin, South Africa too... :+

Sweet pics!
 
RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

If you're still in Germany you might want to check out the Autostadt at wolfsburg. Along with a huge museum, they have buildings for each VW marque with the latest concept cars from each. There is also a test track, but i didnt have the $$ for that when I was over there x(
 
RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

I am familiar with the car, and they are having TONS of problems with it. Generally, the do the design of the car around the aerodynamics. This car was designed backwards...the designed a really neat looking car, and then they decided to put it in the wind tunnel. They were not impressed with the results (it was lifting very, very badly). And now the body will have to be changed somehwat, and spoilers added. The car was supposed to go about 250MPH to be the fastest "production" car in the world. But the team design engineer said that with the forthcoming changes to make the car stick to the road, it will take off "at least 25MPH" from the top speed.
 
RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

Yes Germany.

If i had one I do not think I would take it up to 250 anyhow.
The Mclaren F1 was clocked at over 400km/hr on a independent test. That will be hard to beat.

None-the-less the car is totally bad ass. I wish the pics would have came out a little better. The F1 is super sexy as well. I cannot decide which car I think looks the best. Both look amazing good, but in their own different way.

Supposedly the Koenigsegg CC is faster now, by 2MPH at 242MPH. The top speed has been confirmed too. What's cool is it uses a modified Ford 4.6L to pump out 806HP. Top Gear Magazine has tested the F1, and the CC, and they said the CC is the fastest car they've ever tested, bar none. I have the vid of the F1 going 391KM/H. I also have the vid of the CC from Top Gear. It's AMAZING!!! DO a search and download each. Great vids!!

[div class="dcquote"][strong]Quote[/strong]I believe the CC has a 4.6 with forged internals coupled with a centrifugal supercharger. Looks kinda like a Vortech YJ or something. Anyone know what PSI or size of SC is on that engine? http://mark8.org/users/ponyfreak/web/4.6DOHC/46_640.jpg [/div]Can anyone say, "air filter"?

No, but I can say "intercooler"
 
RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

Watching the latest gumball rally movie someone ran a Koenigsegg... it broke down more than any other car in the race. The cooling system, transmission, basically everything fell apart. Of course that may have something to do with running the car at 140mph+ cruising along the interstate for a few hours stopping only for traffic tickets.
 
RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

great video. I love at the end when they pan to the professional driver in the car with the stereo going.

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

LOL! I love that guy!!
 
RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

Ron IS a greedy bastard. I have links to most of his vids. Top Gear (from the BBC) are the best car vids on TV. The guy talking is Jeremy Clarkson...his voice overs are usually fantastic!! OK..so I'm assuming you want the GT40 vid?? Here it is!! : http://www.s2kca.com/photopost/data/510/2TopGear_GT40.wmv

Not enough? Here's the Mclaren F1 Top Gear Vid: http://www.s2kca.com/photopost/data/510/2Top_Gear_-_McLaren_F1.mpeg

Anymore you'd like to see? I have many. It's just a matter of me finding a link where YOU can see it. I'm on dialup..so no uploading for me!!

RE: I saw a Bugatti Veyron

It doesn't have the M5 video! The Top Gear Video of the M5, where he does the controlled 360, thats the best one by far.
