First Bugatti Veyron delivered!

[eliseracer]

Those older 4-door Bugattis were from their last life, before they wen't belly-up in the early 90s. I wouldn't expect to see any more of those... Even the 16/4 had a sister model from back then. I don't have time to look it up, but I'm sure someone can find some info.

 

[TheCracker]

No one mentioned 4 door Bugatti's but instead 4 seaters.

Replace the word 'door' with the word 'seat' in my post then.

Just listing some future supercars that will rival the veyron ontrack.

I'm sure there are plenty of super and not-so-super cars that would already match the Veyron's 'on track' performance.

Actually, all the concept cars on that site are VW era Bugatti's - maybe with the exception of the EB 112 which i can only find info on it being designed by Ital Design. Most of those concepts only date back to the late 90's!

Hiya! Meow! (='.'=)

This automotive world have gone through the roof! Upcoming supercars to get near or into the 1000HP ranges.

Sport cars are moving toward the 500HP ranges. Take that sport car you like and mod it to get more than 600+ HP.

I have a feeling someday, the prices of sport cars will be 50K+ soon if we get more HP and more technology. 50K+ Evos, STis, GTOs, and such. Then Corvettes and Vipers will probably shoot up to 100K a car.

You posted in the wrong section but other than that I like your style of writing but like L4S said you need to sort out your spelling and grammar.

 

[Driftster]

so what titles does this car have..

Worlds ugliest fast car
Worlds fastest ugly car
Worlds ugliest 4 door fast car
Worlds fastest most doord turd on wheels
Worlds fattest crabmobile

This thing is racking the victories up isn't it?

[Driftster]

I can keep going if you'd like...

I'm sure I could hammer out a good page of that stuff..

 

[Dave A]

But do you want to spend your time doing that, really.

The 112, the 4-door in question, was an Ital Design, and it was during Bugatti's previous life. Ital stopped the work on apparent lack of payment. This was around 1994, a year before Bugatti called it quits, in 1995.

I also just found out that Bugatti bought up Lotus in 1993, something I ever knew.

 

[Onikaze]

An official F60 huh, that would be neat, would also explain the FXX program nicely.

The Miura I think I've seen talked about in here, I've heard either lightweight, RWD, and 600 Hp, or midweight, AWD, and 700 Hp.

I was wondering how far they got into the development of the P8, knowing Mclaren though, if they sell it under their name, it will be light, so 500 or so Hp would move.

Wait, was that before Proton bought Lotus? I though Proton bought Lotus from GM after the Elan failed.

 

[eliseracer]

It appears as if Bugatti bought GM's share, althugh Proton may have had a part in this deal as well. I am not entirely sure of the details on this. I also do not know what Bugatti had done with Lotus in their 2 years of (part) ownership, as this was the time that the Elise was coming to form. It would be interesting to find out.

 

[nissan man]

So how many fire extinguishers do you get with it?

 

[Dave A]

I thought it was a good point in time to revive this thread now it's had it's first TV drive. It seems the car is incredibly nible and agile around corners, like I've been saying, the weight doesn't mean it won't corner well if they get the rest right to counter that, and they have done.

 

[colton19911]

The Bugatti Veyron has a top sped of almost 250 mph.

 

[Dave A]

Almost, you mean over 250mph right, it electronically limited to 253mph any faster and the tyres might fail, which wouldn't be nice at 253+mph bu it is capable of more maybe on dragster slicks if someone managed to unlimit it, but road legal tyres just can't take it.

 

[colton19911]

It's the second fastest production road car.

 

[Vonie]

Second to what?

 

[McLaren]

Second to what?

Nothing...It is the fastest.

BTW, YW's source of the F60 was in correct.
What do they mean an official name hasn't been released?

It's already got it's name. F60.

The Miura is going to be the "top" Lamborghini featuring a
700HP engine direct from the Murcielago.

Here's the short story.

Lamborghini is readying a new mid-engine exotic based on Audi's upcoming R9 superca (Le Mans Quattro Concept) that not only borrows the previous Miura's nameplate, but also adopts many of its 1960's-era styling cues. This artist's rendering shows what the new Miura could look like when it is launched in late 2006. Inside sources tell us the limited-run (450 cars) Miura is Lamborghini's "answer to the Ferrari Enzo." It will be built alongside the R9, both cars using an evolution of the Gallardo's space-frame chassis.
But the Miura will differentiate itself from the R9 with a version of the Murcielago's V-12, bored out to 6.5 liters and producing 700 bhp and 554 lb.-ft. of torque. The Miura will use a paddle-shift transmission with a rear-biased Quattro all-wheel-drive system and will come standard with carbon-ceramic brakes. Although sharing its platform with the R9, the new Miura will be lower, wider and shorter than its German counterpart. The Miura's simple interior will reflect its retro theme, doing without many of today's electronic gizmos.

Joking, I like the pic though.

 

[McLaren]

That's an old pic isn't it?
Around one of the later prototypes, I think.

Yeah its a late prototype snapshot.

The driver of the Veyron flashed his lights, but it was to no avail. The photographer was killed no more than a fraction of a second after taking this photograph.

HAhahahhahahahahhhhahahaahahahahhahaahahahahhaahahhahahaahahahhaha!

The driver must've been at relatively slow (for the Bugatti that is) speeds if he was still able to take that hot before being run over by a piece of automotive heaven.
