Project Blitz Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 we all know its stupidly fast but i was just trying to comprehend how much faster it would be from another similar powered car. with the guys doing the Thunder Road challenge i thought i would try to find some figures of the Veyron to put into perspective how fast it actually is! Performance Top speed 408.5 km/h (253.8 mph) (average) 0–100 km/h (0.0–62.1 mph) 2.5 seconds[19] 0–160 km/h (0.0–99.4 mph) 5.5 seconds 0–240 km/h (0.0–149.1 mph) 9.8 seconds 0–300 km/h (0.0–186.4 mph)[20] 16.7 seconds 0–400 km/h (0.0–248.5 mph)[21][22] 50 seconds Standing quarter-mile (402 m)[22] 10.2 seconds at 230 km/h (142.9 mph) wow but i guess it is a 16.4 even still its like a train!!! ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 What does the 16.4 mean though? Isn't it just a model number? It's an 8 litre engine if you mixed that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Blitz Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 i was under the impression it was 16 cylinder and 4 turbos so im implying its like 2.5 times our engines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Blitz Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 the reason for the thread was because some of our top lads recorded 0-190 odd in 27 secs look above^ 0–300 km/h (0.0–186.4 mph)[20] 16.7 seconds if that is right, its crazy!

SupraHuman Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I recon thats why you pay 8-900k for a Veyron and 10k for a Supra, pluss you'll empty the tank in 15 mins with a Veyron on full song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 0–240 km/h (0.0–149.1 mph) 9.8 seconds Standing quarter-mile (402 m)[22] 10.2 seconds at 230 km/h (142.9 mph) How does that work then?

marc_p Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Don't forget though that most Veyron's on the road will be running 750bhp, as you need to pass Bugatti's course to get it unlocked to the 1000bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sams Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Give your brand new veryon to Brabus with 500k and you can have it running 1200hp and lighter as every body pannel is replaced with carbon fibre pannels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 You would still be look at around a 3 to low 3 second 0-60 time with 750bhp. Locked or unlocked, it's a very impressive car. Just way too damn heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Instant grip, instant power/torque and it it has buckets of it due to that engine. Jamies doesnt have 1000bhp, so tbh bit unfair to compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamies doesnt have 1000bhp, so tbh bit unfair to compare No, but Jamies does have 750bhp, which is the same as most veyrons, now the veyron will have more torque, but the Supra is a lot lighter, it would be an interesting race. Anyone know if a Veyron has run on the strip yet and if theres any 1/4 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sams Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Standing quarter-mile (402 m)[22] 10.2 seconds at 230 km/h (142.9 mph) does that help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
