sweet ride!

"Bugatti has shattered the production car top speed record with a new special edition Veyron that has officially cracked 268mph.

The firm conducted the official record run on Saturday afternoon, and actually saw an all-out maximum speed of 270mph."

they want it to go as fast as possible so no one notices how ugly it is as it's flying by. lol

i think it looks awesome, personal preference i guess :)

I agree!


& thats so fast! Damn would love to be inside it at that speed :thumbsup

I wonder what it sounds like

looks insane. Cool ride :)

WOW, that is one Mean Machine:thumbsup

So for anyone that spent a million bucks on their Veyron it's time to upgrade to the special edition version.

crazy speed, but can be used where?

Top Gear test drive with James May or it didn't happen.

nice! love that car

That's faster than alot of small airplanes!

Imagine blowing a tire at 268MPH..

Not pretty!

how much is it

great car !

They don't have that exotic sound like a Ferrari or Lamborghini and if you had your back turned you wouldn't guess it to be something special.

Of course. How sexy would they look side by side in the garage :thumbsup

Here is the one where they got it to top 253

i dont think youve ever heard one in person then...they sound sick

I've heard them idle.

I've heard them drive by at normal speed.

I've heard them on the track at over 150 mph.

I stand by what I said and don't make me dig up the video to prove it :winkwink:

I haven't heard this particular model though but I'm hoping my neighbor buys one. He currently owns two and the last one he bought was this one off Sang Bleu that came out last year at Pebble Beach. He is selling his Sang Noir so maybe he'll pick this new one up when it comes to Pebble Beach later this year.

Here's the Sang Bleu

I took this at a track day at Daytona

it doesnt have an exotic ferrari high pitched sound but it will turn heads, ive heard and seen them just as you have, there is a guy no more than 10 minutes from me who owns a restaurant in the main town. Ive heard the videos too, when u get on that it turns into a monster and sounds insane. well at least i think it sounds insane...

tell me that doesnt sound sick...

get off that track, bugatti. you're a bugatti, you don't belong on the track.

under acceleration its supposed to open up the exhaust for a crazy loud system. my wife had one go by on opposite side of freeway and she thought an uncorked ac cobra was coming up behind her but it was the veyron doing a buck fifty in the fast lane. you see lots of exotics on the George Bush motorspeedway ie 190 toll road around dallas

Yeah, you and me have a different view on what sounds insane.

To me the Veyron sounds like a stock ZO6

Here's what I think sounds insane. Turn it up :thumbsup

OMG that is sooooooooooo sEXY!!!!!!!!!!

You can't really use this kind of speed anywhere.

My car is regulated to 150mph. While I've been up there a number of times on (gasp) freeways, only once have I had the balls and an empty straight away to hold it there for any length of time (It was heading from Phoenix to San Diego for Cybernet Expo years ago really).

I don´t like Pagani but this Zonda R is a sexy beast.
This was a illegal test on a public road ;)

funny, people who probably drive honda civics talk shit about Bugatti lol

thats the problem.. im now rethinking buying a car with all this power.. yeah i could get an AMG. get it up to 150mph on highway, get nailed, bye bye license.lol

yeah u could track it but what fun is there if u cant put ur car over triple digits every other day

right now i do get to 100-110mph daily while driving places.. but only for a sec before the pussy in me comes out and i slow down

20+ years ago ... Suzuki GSXR engine 1100cc bored out to 1280cc full power carb tops and modern tech at the time a kind of expansion chamber 4-1 exhaust for 4 strokes, bang that lot into a Spondon frame with the right gearing and you had a motorcycle capable of a calculated approx 260 mph .....

I built one and got it to about 208 mph... whilst having my chest rested on the fucking clocks to keep the front end down !!! .. put wings on the cunt it would have been able to fly LOL ....

And yes it did cost me my licence, but only after 8 months of fun :)

I got like 10 of those. They aight.

James Gay, Jeremy Clarkson please :thumbsup

Great video, and sound, but I'm going to have to stick with my all time favorite sound from a car:

270mph makes my own personal record of 194 look so small in comparison :/
ds

Only 270? pppffffttt :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I will take a Ferrari any day over a Bugatti. The front end looks ghastly. I don't care how fast it is. It has to look good and be fast in my books.

Otherwise, it's like getting a girlfriend who is hot on the outside but not good in bed.

You guys see what I mean right? :)

That's just amazing... :)
