This car has been my dream ride since it was a concept. Seeing it in action is hot as hell.

407.4 kph or 253.15 mph. The fastst road car in existence. The thing is pure joy. I've personally gone 170ish before, and I cannot possibly imagine going over maybe 200 while driving. 253 is absolutely unreal. I'd weep while driving and end up crashing. At 253. Yeesh.

WoundLicker · 02-11-2007, 09:36 PM

WOW..anyone have any links or more info on that w16 engine....that is badass!!!

Painted · 02-11-2007, 10:21 PM

That is the coolest most awesomest car ever. I can max out at 70 mph in my old Volvo :P

BadNick · 02-12-2007, 09:35 AM

Incredible, a real tour de force of automotive design. I wonder if I'll ever see one on the street ...even standing still?

tinfoil · 02-12-2007, 10:19 AM

I've not yet decided if I like the overall look of the car, but it's a triumph in engineering.

MexicanOnABike · 02-12-2007, 12:38 PM

insane! 13miles more than the Mclarenf1!! wow.
thanks for sharing that man!

Esoteric · 02-12-2007, 12:52 PM

Wow, that car is an absolute beast. Fucking amazing, I want one!!

While I think the body design is well proportioned and highly functional, I'm not a big fan of how this Bugatti looks. I'd take a McLaren F1 over this anytime even if it is slower

BrokeAgain · 02-21-2007, 01:50 PM

Yeah the Veyron is an absolute monster. I doubt Ill ever see one in person outside of a motorshow... I would love to drive one!

Ilow · 02-22-2007, 11:22 AM

video no longer available. Thanks BBC. as a side note these cares are unreal and at their price they should be!

Zooksport2 · 03-02-2007, 12:18 AM

empties the tank in 12 minutes, and top speed. My kinda horsepower....

The Bugatti Veyron may no longer be the world's fastest car. — Barabus officially unveiled the TKR: a new 1005 horsepower supercar the automaker says is capable of doing zero to 60 mph in 1.67 seconds. What's more, the car reportedly has a top speed of 270 mph — nearly 20 more than the Veyron. Power comes from a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers. The car has a full carbon fibre body and chassis. Further details remain sparse, but the automaker says it will sell the car for £360,000, which should translate to around $500,000, using typical automotive market conversion rates.

It's worth noting that Barabus sometimes refers to the car as being able to hit 60 mph in "under 2 seconds," rather than the stated 1.67. Even so, there is still some doubt among enthusiasts if such a figure is even possible. Nonetheless, . The TKR is said to have been in development for the last 10 years. The car is to be made in Italy and the power plant is built in the United Kingdom.

Worldwide volume is projected to be 300-400 cars over the estimated three-year production run.

I wonder when we'll reach the limits of human g-force in a car. Eventually going 0-60 could hurt the driver. I imagine that someone with heart problems or who was pregnant wouldn't drive the Veyron (or now the TKR) at full speed.

lukeastra · 03-03-2007, 09:25 PM

well here in the UK we have got faster and its very suprising that a Vauxhall Victor can do 0-60 in 1 sec, yes one sec !!!

Yeah that guy is probably full of crap.

Huh. I mean a 1 second car....that's substantially faster than anything I'm aware of. Over 2200 hp, 9.3L v8, 0-60 in 1 second still seems a bit out of reach. I found the video, and I've watched it several. The car is obviously really, really fast, but 1 second? I don't think so. I'd put my money on about 3 seconds.

1997 M3 with certain modifications. Not a 1 second car, but it gets me from a to b.

nice cars are those M3s...
