Would be interestin to see it perform on track wouldn't it?

[VanDaMauler]

Veyron........WOW!!!!

4 turbos, 11 radiators,2 clutches, 1000+ BHP, Restricted to 250mph and a 100 Ltr fuel tank (£100 to fill) that it can empty in 12 minutes at full speed.

What more can you want in a car

Are the program setters German???

Only joking,

[doogalman]

0-200 mph , standing start , Mclaren f1 road car given 100 mph head start before Bugatti starts. ....... Bugatti still beats the mac to 200 mph.
Just statistics, but how awesome.
I think i read somewhere that they are making about a dozen cars.

[whyworry]

even the one in the studio was a mock up! they wouldnt let them keep it for testing and the show!! honest!!

[Nattyboy]

Saw the repeat last night - bleedin hell !!

When I saw the pics in the magazines I thought it looked cack, but its absolutely stunning on the telly...and its sounds fantastic.

My favourite 2 bits of trivia...£4.5k for the magnesium alloy indicator stalk..and they make a huges loss on every car (they cost VW £5 million to build!!!)

Wow

Next TG will be shown on Tuesday 27th December. Saw that on their website.

I also heard, the car in the show was a mock up as well, and the insurance to let the stig loose in it was massive, hence no track time. I expect it would have blown away all the other cars. Did they not say, it was faster than a F1 car?

Lord R has two Bugatti's on order. One for weekdays, the other for weekends. Apparently witter don't have a towbar in their range so he can tow his DD bike about though. Never mind I'm sure Bugatti with craft him a tow bar in magnesium or unobtanium.

A few of the neighbours up here in the fozen North have ordered them as well but are a bit worried as to what will happen to the ferrets stuffed down their trousers under hard acceleration.

I also hear that one has already been seen in Essex, It just doesn't look right in white though, Kevin and Tracey appear to be the owners acording to the sun strip.

Must go the whippets need a walk and it looks like the smog is clearing!

I saw the repeat last night also.
and liked the comment at the end from Clarkson about it being a bit of a hollow victory.
What do you drive for a fix after that. ?
