I watched it, but i have to say i´m a bit disappointed Unlike the tests in previous years, this was not a single feature where the runs were actually shown, but the shows presenter Peter Stützer mostly talking about the cars rather than showing the actual top speed runs He was also passenger in the Veyron, but as for the actual top speed runs there has to be only one person in the car. So in that run they didn´t push the throttle completely and "only" did 360 km/h or so. That was pretty much all footage from the inside of the Veyron.
Than there were the 0-200 km/h runs, but instead of showing the Veyrons impressive accelleration which anybody wants to see they showed the SLR
Damn, this feature could have been so much better...

YouTube will not be used because of the time length restrictions. As i write this i'm working on uploading it to Google video for everybody, nthfinity has offered his FTP site for the video, i have had problems accessing the site, but we should have it soon. The google link will come first, but i promise you a download link will follow.
