Thread: Bugatti: 407 km/h video

Check this out

not too shabby... I think I'm going to pass out if I did that? Only done a bit over 220 or so on my way to Miami

ok that's pretty fast alright.

I've hit 130 mph on a bike once and I thought that was fast (fast enough for me anyhow). Now I feel like super wuss...

130 on a bike is fast ---being exposed and all ---- my vote for not a wuss.

Same here but I think we get some extra credit for doing that while hanging out in the breeze.

What an incredible machine......................... 1,000 HP

What's the 0-60 for this thing?

Better yet, what's it's nurburgring time? Top speed is nice but it's just one piece of the pie.

Here we go: http://www.supercars.net/nurburgring.html

Porsche Carrera GT beats it by 12 seconds ---- I'm not surprised.

And I don't even know if the Bugatti is a production care. Both the Carrera GT and 911 GT3 beat it at the Nurburgring.

What amazes me is that Americans typically think that 100 miles per hour is an insane speed. For example during movie car chases.

Driving 100 mph on the highway (while above the limit) is not that extreme, especially at night when the roads are free.
Hell, in Germany there are places where there is no speed limit. Last year on holiday I did 110 mph and I had to drive in the middle lane to let the fast cars get past.

Disclaimer: this is of course driving with european cars. On my honeymoon we drove a US rental car. it was comfortable as anything, but it felt sluggish and with a too soft suspension.
And not having a manual stick shift kinda sucked as well.
