The new Bugatti Veyron...

looks alright (not the greatest, but I wouldn't turn it down if it was given to me ) and boasts a massive 736 kW

 

[1X83Z]

Wee-haw! GO VOLKSWAGEN!

When's it out?

 

[vat_man]

Another 10kw and it would have 1000 hp!!

 

[Shannon]

Does Volkswagon own Bugatti?

 

[Shannon]

I estimate a top speed of close to 400kph

 

[Talentless]

this car was speed tested. don't remember the results. 275mph??

Ooh - over 1000hp!!!

Check out that torque figure! You could tow your house!

 

[Talentless]

you guys did know of this car before, right?

 

[1X83Z]

Yeah, you could tow most of Lower-East Manhattan

Yep, Volkswagen brought Bugatti back from the dead.

 

[Shannon]

that car definately has some power!!!

 

[Dudebusta]

800 grand...ive gotta say that a huge waste of money.

youd never be able to use the power anywhere.

800 grand would get me a house, an ss ute and a bloody GTS.

 

[troy]

yes over 1000hp at the flywheel, but how much at the 4 wheels??? this may be hard to dyno b/c of the 4wheel drive. Unless they snip a cord and it becomes 2 wheels.

But yes, this car is cool. Its funny how it looks like the engine is showing all the time.

But with 16 cylinders 1000hp may not be that much. I bet in acceleration the hennesseyy 800TT or 2002 Lingenfelter Vette could kill it.

Since you quoted the power and the capacity, I got the old calculator out, and can say: 125.235bhp/L

It would take more than just snipping a cord. There are 4WD/AWD dynos out there: www.sportcompactcarweb.com/archives/technobabble/techno_1001.shtml

Producing that much power with 4 medium-size turbos, wouldn't you want that kind of cooling?

but you'd make more people's head turn in the bugatti then in a holden and I think you'd pick up more chicks

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Go W12, Volkswagen really did the impossible. I hope that the other VW exotic the W12 will go along side with the Bugatti.

 

[Shannon]

W16 you mean

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Ok my mistake
