Notes :
Bugatti Veyron, the sign of wealth, pride and power of it's owner. This replica is the closes rendition that I could achieve in GT6. With power and weight based on several test report/article from Car & Driver.
The weight/distribution is based on 2008 Car & Driver Veyron test, while power are available in 2 option. The official power at 1001PS and the claimed actual engine power as stated by the Bugatti Technical Director with power ranging from 1020-1040PS from factory. I used the upper ceiling limit of 1040PS.
Veyron is heavy and powerful, thus the suspension is the weakest link if not tuned properly. I couldn't not find exact specs of the springs other than the brand, so I have to make do with turning it myself. I settled for conservative value to reflect the real car set for comfort/luxury and still able to perform like a supercar should. There are 3 different modes in the real car, each have different ride height and damper profile to suit their purpose. Normal mode for normal city driving with soft damper setup, Handling mode for sports driving at the track or street with stiffer damper and Top Speed mode for the sole purpose of top speed run, lowest ride height, damper set to similar to handling mode.
Gear ratio has been fixed this time as GT6 is totally wrong with the final gear and top speed at revlimit. So I adapted 2 final drive this time, the base is based on calculated top speed at revlimit reflecting the real life car test result. While the other final is the actual final drive value when calculated based on final drive and transfer gear ratio, or I will simply call it the effective final drive of the real car. Strangely the actual final is a bit off in GT6 when driven, a bit too short. The benchmark of the real car is 242mph at 6th on revlimit ( 6600RPM ) and 253mph at 6250RPM in 7th / top gear. It's your choice to be accurate to real life speed limit, stick to 2.484 final or be accurate to the real car final, 2.584. Not much difference in performance, but I highly recommend the base final 2.484.
For LSD, the real car has front open diff arrangement and rear with active LSD. I set the replica in similar way, I tuned the rear LSD to give the rear more active role in rotation while still giving optimum traction. The Veyron can be driven to induce mild progressive oversteer by feeding the throttle harder as you exit, similar to the way it behave in real.
The Veyron was tested at Tsukuba and Bathurst. When driven at Tsukuba, the Veyron with official power at 1001PS and Handling mode, CS tire, capable of 59.6s lap Replay has been included for reference or ghost.
