Regardless, they wrote as if it's a logical add up.... should be better stated I think.

Yea it should've but oh well, it doesn't really detract from the fact that it's mindboggling acceleration and deceleration.

That's a nice news but I will wait to see the magazine before commenting more : I wonder if they did take the acceleration time recorded some weeks ago and add it with the braking time or if they really test it like other cars

[davide]

the only headache I get is the fuel consumption the Bugatti had when they pushed that throttle to get the times.... iik!

Would have been great to have been there to watch them test the cars! 8)

Thanks dude

[Shinigami]

Whoa, the 100-0 is pretty darn good for a 2ton car

[thepest]

Pretty amazing times, but 4.76 for the M6..I'm not sure about that one!

Here is the complete list of cars tested in Autocar 2006




- Some intresting points I want to add.
BMW M5 was one of the cars this year, Autocar also tested the M5 last year.
(year 2005) - 14,16 sec
(year 2006) - 15,20 sec

Intresting to see that the M5 was one second faster 0-100-0 mph last year than this year. I wonder why

- Also Alpina B6 better time than both M5 and M6

- 997TT is faster than Veyron 0-30 mph


Result from year 2005

Actually seems like many of the times are pretty poor compared to when the cars have been tested before.

you know; the Veyron doesn't require steering input to stop in a perfectly straight line unfer full braking even

you've driven it then I assume (making a statement like that and all)?

[Vansquish]

I"ll have the magazine in hand later this week and if I can get in front of a scanner, I'll happily do the deed and post it here.
