Does anyone else think they only did this version as they saw how badly spanked the old version was (up to 200mph) by the Mclaren F1 on Top Gear.
McLaren F1 still the best super car ever. Its Lighter, smaller, better designed and has 3 seats.
After watching the Megafactories program on Sky i'm not sure anymore.McLaren F1 still the best super car ever. Its Lighter, smaller, better designed and has 3 seats.
"Even if you're lucky enough to be employed to drive a Formula One car every other weekend between March and November, the Veyron SS can, in its way, deliver an even bigger burst of acceleration where it counts."
Where exactley? 200-250 mph? like that would happen on a regular basis.
Any F1 car from the last 10 years would demolish the performance and braking capabilities of it.
An F1 car is circa 1500 BHP/tonne and can from standstill reach 100 mph and return to zero mph in around 4 seconds.

Probably more to do with the fact that they lost the speed record to a car built in an american shed...McLaren F1 still the best super car ever. Its Lighter, smaller, better designed and has 3 seats.

The performance figures disagree. McLaren F1 still the best super car ever. Its Lighter, smaller, better designed and has 3 seats.
It was Bugatti's response to the SSC Ultimate.
I think the interior looks better on this version, the old one was a bit bling with the shiny centre console in aluminium, now it is darker and contrasts the light coloured leather seats. You can also have toned down colours for the exterior as well.
It might not be the ultimate driving device but it does what the owners want, speed but with safety and not hanging them out to dry.

Not only is top gear a load of boll0x but Steve also drove the F1 gtr(with the shortened gearbox) not to long ago for Autocar, he described the acceleration in that as savage..... but he's calling the supersport the best car in the world - it's good enough for me.McLaren F1 still the best super car ever.

O/T, but does this shot remind anyone else of a Lotus Europa? something about the slope of the rear 3/4 and the alloys.Impressive car, but even with a 112 million lottery win, would not make it close to being in my fantasy car collection. So impressive, but irrelevant for me.
it's bloody quick. but it's not as quick as an F1 car to 186. when geared for somewhere like monza, they'll still be 3-4 seconds quicker than this to 186. although i'll agree, past that, they're slower. F1 cars are what, 800bhp but weigh less than 1/3 of this car....?
i'd still take a mclaren F1 thanks

This and the GTR (sorry) have a lot in common for me - hugely fast, massive amount of technology, and extremely impressive, but at the end of the day they just leave me cold and I don't aspire to owning one (although I'd love to have the money to make that choice )
I really dont know how you can say that after having driven the GTR? Maybe its just me but it got really under my skin and I just wish I wasnt flat out broke at the minute.Im sure the Veyron is the same.
