/\/\/\They wont You know why? Because it didnt lap faster then either the MC12 nor did it beat the Enzo, and that will make JCs "Best car...fastests car....in the world statements look bad
As someone said once, its the king of the autobahn, not the track
1000bhp, turbo driven power at that, in a heavy ass car like that...I bet it laps as fast as the 575
Sorry to dissapoint you mate

The Stig cried because the great big fat whale of a car oversteered into the tyre wall and he has to pay for the repairs with deductions fom his pay cheque... the word around the water cooler is that he will be paid up by March 2065...
If it had completed a lap, it would have been slower than an autostick Boxster.

I'm not sure i've seen this much ignorance in awhile, and if you even thought logically, the fact that it runs 0-60 in 2.5 seconds shows that the speed alone would beat the Zonda F even if it is sluggish in the turns. You don't understand that in a straight line it's as a fast as an F1 car(bold statement but true). It would turn worse than a Zonda or a Ferrari, but it's still a sports car with great downforce and 4WD. Stop being in denial and just take the car for what it is and it's a marvel in technology. Take your nose out of the Ferrari's exhaust and just be happy that a company was willing to lose millions of dollars just to push the barriers of technology, you should be thanking VW for this and not bashing it.

Well - a Sperm whale for example can swim pretty quickly - desn't mean that just because it can ram a Great White it's the better predator...
The car is a complete lump of crap.

Great White vs. Sperm Whale (knobs in sperm whale interior worth more
than whole Great White, Priceless...)

Ignorance? Let's just say, I know something else that you dont and I cant really talk about it.
And just for arguments sake, a bike can do 2.5 knot to sixty aswel.

^^^ It might slightly slower in the corners than IE Enzo or Zonda F, but on the straights it would simply blow them away. Why do you all hate this engineering masterpiece

As great an engineering marvel the Veyron is, it is not a race car on the same level as the pagani or Enzo. Sure, it may be quicker than an F1 car (then again, F1 cars are not geared to make a headline 0-60 number like the Bugatti is, only to hype up and justify the millions of dollars in losses that it took to build it), but what makes F1 cars so fast on a track is thier low weight, ridiculously high cornering speeds and thier braking abilities. THese characteristics the Bugatti doesnt have, and i believe a time around what an F430 or 911 turbo would do around the track would be a GOOD result for it.
Once on a track, accelerating from corner to corner, the huge power difference between the veyron and the others would be mostly neutralized, especially due to the supposed turbo lag that Murray was so happy to point out.

It's not really an accomplishment to reach 1000hp with a quad-turbo V16. I don't really see how this is such a masterpiece...
