Veyron Super Sport is testing the Nurburgring...

[rw99]

Throwing power and money at the problem, Bugatti looks like they're taking a shot at the record. (Can I say our record? I think I might...)

Always a good read at Bridge To Gantry, very fun site. Enjoy.

Won't beat the ACR, won't even come close. Cool to see it out on the track though

 

[Mopar Steve]

Also not the available production/price/availability of our Vipers.

 

[DrumrBoy]

I'd also bet against it breaking the record - gobs o' power but its kinda heavy for that circuit.

 

[gb66gth]

Think about this.
For the price of the Bugatti, you could buy one of every generation of Viper, fly your cars over to Germany, have one helluva track day at the 'Ring, and still have money left over for a Bratwurst and a beer!

 

[BlknBlu]

the king of the Ring has nothing to do with the price point of a car. it is sheer performance.

This "heavy and turns for crap" car is still faster (7:40) than any Gen I/II/III Viper at The Green Hell.

 

[VYPR BYT 94]

Toyota has a major off-site facility near the circuit which was purpose-built for the LFA development. Maybe they should follow Lexus and then build their own...

... oh wait, that only gave them 15 minutes of fame - never mind!

Wow, with 1000horsepower it can beat up on a car designed in the 80s?? congrats to them... lol

I still prefer my 'second class' genIII to that million dollar squashed beetle looking thing.

true dat. Veryon is awesome and all, but its Fugly.

Lol, I'm going to say I would gladly get rid of my gen 3 Viper for the chance to own a Veyron.

 

[Allan]

It aint even about the price, or the horsepower, or the whatever. Any Viper is way cooler than that ugly 'supercar'.

Yah.........we'll agree to disagree on that one lol.

 

[Voodoo Rob]

You can park that "ugly" Bugatti in my drive anytime and I'll hand over the keys to my Viper, I'll also throw in a Viper stretch fit cover

 

[Allan]

Hey FLATOUT, how's this one?.......I even like my Corvette better that that Veyron thing!......ha ha..

 

[Allan]

Pagani Zonda........Enzo....458 Italia.......I may have to reconsider.......

 

[FLATOUT]

Shocker, your questionable taste is no longer questionable.

 

[Allan]

hmmmm, I think I would even roll in a Mustang over that ugly car. .....can't believe I just said that.

Ummm no....no it's not.

You can't possibly be serious? It's one thing to not like a car, but I highly doubt you or anyone for that matter would prefer to "roll in a Mustang" over this.. You're full of crap!!!!

Yeah, it sounds like a lot of sour grapes in this thread to me. Veyrons in person have a whole different presence than in pictures. Had I the means, I would be all over one.

 

[Allan]

OK, you guys got me on the Mustang deal... .....I just think there are way more appealing cars out there to lust after than that. ..Enzo, Zonda, Venom GT, Mc Laren, Carrera GT, SSC Aero, Mosler, -these are cars that are not only fast and expensive, but they look the part as well.

The only thing that really is going to seem as crafted on the inside would be the Zonda. In person, I was pretty impressed by the veyrons.

 

[Bonkers]

The Veyron is an engineering masterpiece - and considering
the serious decline in the coming generations love of cars
I would be willing to bet we will not live long enough to
see another like it. Personally, if it were an option I would
definatly buy one just for effort that went into it - looks
(which I don't think are bad at all) doesn't even come
into play. Would I trade up my Viper for it? No, but put it in
my ridiculiously low price range and I'd give up a few meals
a week to try to keep it... until, that is, the $25,000 tire
change comes up...

 

[troublemaker]

I appreciate it for the engineering marvel that it is. The car is a serious performer, no doubt. But I feel the looks were a function over form decision. The looks don't do it for me in any way, but what's under the skin is what really impresses me. Thank good I am not the demographic it's marketed towards, nor will I ever have the financial means to get behind the wheel. They moved the bar up in many ways with this car.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Lol, I'm going to say I would gladly get rid of my gen 3 Viper for the chance to own a Veyron.

Im with you all the way on this one. You wont find me turning a blind eye to a true super car.

 

[DrumrBoy]

Most people on this site are in love with the way a Viper looks, me included, but the Veyron is a truly amazing machine. Try this...go to a swanky restaurant or club and show up with one fo each car when there's onyl one valet spot right out front and see which one gets parked!

 

[eucharistos]

..... and considering the serious decline in the coming generations love of cars.....

+1, this will be big
