Bugatti Veyron

Post by Jackthelad »

Has anyone else seen the new monster built by VW since they have bought Bugatti?? Its called the Bugatti Veyron. Its the fastest road legal car in the world.

Its got 1000 BHP!
0-60 in 2.5 seconds
TWO! 4.0 litre engines
16 Cylinders
7 gears
It cost around 5 million to make :shock:

Its so fast that you could put it in line with a Porche 911, let the 911 reach 120MPH, then start, you will still beat the 911 to 200MPH! crazy stuff eh?? Heres a link to some pics.

Think you mean let a McLaren F1 get to 120 not a Porsche 911 mate :wink: , not even sure a 911 does 200mph!

What an absolutely stunnig machine! Words fail me!

The fact that VW are losing £4,190,000.00 per car though :shock:

Just makes me think that VW are a company and no company is in anything for a loss! They're obviously taking money from something to fund it. My guess is the price we pay for our cars and the services we get from the dealers :roll:

Saying that though, think i'd be happy to spend that little bit more for my VW so i can say i've help pay for 1/10th of the indicator stalk :lol:

£4000 for a bit of aluminium and magnesium! Fook me :!:

i don't know how many veyrons they've actually made but if it's only a few then it's probably not that big a loss really because it's all advertising, they must be making money by people knowing VW created the greatest car ever, i personally would have sold them for £5 million, it's not exactly going to be someone that's just won the lottery that get's them, especially since Bugatti hand pick who gets them, it's only gonna be the sultans and abramovich's of the world that wouldn't even look at the price if he had a chance to get the greatest car ever made.

that's my 2p worth, i'll shut up again now :)
