2007 Bugatti Veyron - 44L/100km???

[Neb]

Now this is one powerful car, but just look at the efficiency. At max speed it's using 125L/100km! Did i mention it has 1001hp?

Wonder how many is coming to Canada.

8.0L, W-16, quad-turbo... at this point, who cares about fuel efficiency?

I gotta admit though, this is the first time I've seen it from these angles in this non-red/black paintjob, and I gotta admit that it's definitely growing on me.

[cloudycanada]

how big is the tank.......i hope it's more than 100 L , so it can travel for a reasonable distance....

Yeah, they also reviewed it in the December Motor Trend.

The absolutely COOLEST thing about this car is this:


That's right folks, a guage that shows u how much HP the engine is currently pushing out!

[2000fordfocus]

That is cool!! and when it hits 1001hp, is also time to refill the tank!!

[jollyeskimo]

yeah just like the RR phantom's power reserves meter... except not quite as cool, haha.

What a POS seriously. It's like that motorcycle dodge made with the viper engine: impressive but impractical. This car makes other sportscars look like Smartcars in terms of effieciency, and all for what..an extra .1 or .2 seconds off 0-60 and not even the top speed record? Very expensive also...give me a break. I'd take a Koenigsegg CCR + the leftover cash over it any day.

This car does have the fastest top speed at 252mph .. previous record holder was the McLaren F1 at 240mph ... but seriously impractical and stupid ..

A lot of sites claim Bugatti can go ~252mph yet I can find no proof of it.

[bluetroll]

it's got a 100L tank.

Looks like it does do 248mph, not 252mph, but tha'ts fast enough to hold the world record.

If someone told me this car was originally commissioned for the movie Batman Begins, I wouldn't bat an eye lash.

Looks wicked. Just wicked. The McLaren has an "unofficial" top speed of 243mph.

Well one of the first requirements that this car had to meet was go past the 400kmph + mark ... and it certainly does have the capability to .. The car has just been launched, so give it a few weeks ... yeah but the McLaren gets very unstable at those high speeds ...

Ohh and that first link says official top speed of 252.95mph

The McLaren driven by the British race driver reaching 243mph, unofficially, seemed pretty stable. He even said as much. That car is a legacy.

Mind you, race car drivers test inumerable amounts of cars with superior aerodynamics than those of road cars; yet they still claim the McLaren is very comparable or close thereof to he ones they raced in.

ok cool ... but looks like VW's chairman got his wish of creating the worlds fastest car ...
