Bugatti Veyron. Best car ever?

[gangajas]

I suppose that those who doesn't like the Veyron due to all the electronics don't like cars like the Porsche 959, the Skyline GT-R or the Lancer EVO either.

It's an engineering marvel for sure, but to me the greatest car ever would have to be something you could drive without so much worry. First, it's terribly expensive; even if i were rich I wouldn't want to risk hurting it just because of the sum of money. Secondly, like all super cars, it's pretty limited in real world scenarios. Near perfect pavement is a must.

That's why i like rally cars, muscle cars, and cheap (performance) cars. They're more practical and much more versatile. Still, I wouldn't mind owning a veyron . . .

Veyron twice the BHP of a Mclaren F1 - are we talking about the same cars here?

Most accomplished car, definately. Best, not so certain.

You quoted the wrong person, buddy.

I wouldn't say I dislike them, but they're definately not in the top 10 of my list, no.

Individual Throttle Bodies, of course the F1 has 12 of those beauties instead of 4.
And they're indeed pretty "instant" in response.

lol that was just a random guess lol, cool so what does it mean better throttle response?? You never hear ppl talkin bout throttle bodies. do u know what the enzo has?

I would assume it has throttle bodies as well. :roll:

I don't want to go too off-topic here, but in general the main advantages are a better throttle response and the possibility to deliver more air to each cylinder if properly tuned, which will ofcourse increase the power. Another big advantage (at least for me) is the lovely throaty induction growl that ITBs help to produce.

The Ferrari Enzo has ITBs, so does the CGT, Caparo T1, every BMW M-engine, every sportbike, a lot of N/A racing cars and a few other cars.

For an example of what ITBs sound like, see this:

hahaha well said bmuller, cannot put it funnier.

It would be cool to use the Veyron to tow a trailer with a Porche on it.

I don't know if it's the best car ever built, but it's definately up there.
I don't care that it's loaded up with electronics and various nanny devices. Ask someone why they want a Ferrari and 9 times out of 10, they'll say that the technology was a reason.
What I find most appealing is that it's a big, rolling middle finger to all those that said it couldn't be done or that it wouldn't be done. It's not often that a company like VAG, is willing to risk so much on something like this just to prove that it could be done.



All I'm sure of is that if I could afford it, I'd have one. Black with blue please.

[admcewen]

As a technical piece of engineering it is easily the best but as passionate exciting supercar no not really.....

[pagani]

The veyron is still heavy piece of shit.
Give me the mclaren f1 anyday over the veyron.

I think the question here is wrong in general...

Have any of us driven a Veyron ???

if we are going looks wise i would say the McLaren.
