For those who have NOT seen this 8 minute clip of the Veyron I've attached the link. REALLY cool video...if I had a couple million bucks to spare I'd get one. LOL

yes but one is a real car, that can really handle over 250mph.. the sixteen is nice, don't get me wrong, but it was just a design exercise (kinda the beginning of that whole Art & Science design ethos for them)

^What he said.

PS - technically the veyron is a W16.

I just noticed that I said 153mph in the title of the thread...Kooldino, can you change it to 253mph?

Certainly very impressive! Too bad the stig didn't get to drive it... something tells me its not a real stickler for the corners.

I would think that being able to handle 253mph, it would have to have some sort of decent suspension / aerodynamics that could let it handle at least above moderately. I could be wrong tho.

I am sure that it handles pretty damn good though.

Paint it Sunlight Silver and it will...

I doubt the veyron is at all agile but I bet it handles large corners at speed pretty well :)

I just can't see that thing.. at all.. autocrossing.. ever. It's 1890kg after all

The car is perfect for what Bugatti wanted though --people who know about cars know that they can make a serious car.
