Veyron

[PapaT]

Attended a wee car show on Sunday in Aberdeenshire with my 8, amongst other things there was a Bugatti Veyon Vitesse WRC Edition, what an absolute monster, 1 of only 8 in the world, a cool £1.7 million before taxes if you don't mind, owner said he managed 209mph on a runway at a closed event, made my wee 6.0ltr V8 seem a tad insignificant...., what a car though.

That's pretty poor. Jez managed 206 mph 4 up in his 7.0 twin turbo Monaro. I'm sure he could eek a bit more performance out of the Monaro with a spare 1.6(ish) million

Have to say they are such nice motors, I would swap my GTS for one any day LOL

[snowwolf]

And probably just as rare LOL

I'll pass.
Won't fit in the garage

Doesn't that iteration have a hideous colour scheme?

Think Jez only managed 202 four up, 206 was single pilot . Perhaps he'll confirm.
Hopefully we'll see it out again at TR sometime in the future.


Stevies granada's capable of pegging that veyron all the way to the mile.

I wouldn't. The running costs would be horrendous.

That is very true Ian

IIRC the tyres on the run of the mill model Veyron are £20k per set.

I know people with helicopters and yachts that won't entertain a Veyron.

It is a bit "in yer face" Bright Orange wheels and colour accents on the bonnet and interior. Subtle Carbon Fibre panels are pretty stealthy though.

A marvel of engineering but a hideously ugly car, no thanks, give me a Pantera GT5 everytime
