Man Oh Man !!! What a video !!!


The acceleration of the V(W)eyron is mindblowing, I wonder what it must feel like ... your lungs and guts getting pressed against your backbone

Another great momentum is the way the CGT announces his arrival ... dropping a gear down and you hear it means business ... tyres searching for grip the moment they hit the autobahn 8) 8) 8)

and the bike ... was nowhere.


Cheers

I wouldn't exactly call that a proper match. The bike is an 04-06 Yamaha R1.

Wonderful find mate the acceleration of the Veyron is indeed impressive but I also love the sound of the CGT when it arrived

The acceleration is no different than any other 1000hp car. Any Twin Turbo Vette, Viper, Testarossa, Ruf or large Lamborghini would and does accellerate the same way

Everyone makes it sound like the only way to have a car that quick is to drop a million on a Veyron...

Oh - all the other cars mentioned can stop and turn better than the Veyron as well..

That guy in the CGT has some balls to cut off a motorcycle like that. If im cooking around with a motorcycle, I give them as much room as possible

Great video! :shock:

Insane speed by both the Veyron and the bike! Driver doesn't seem to think that bikers are more vulnerable.

Huh? There is just tad more tech in a Veyron than any of the cars that you mentioned. That is why it costs so much. This is what the OE's call a loss leader, like Honda/Acura's NSX.

Have you ever tried putting 1000 hp (and near as much torque) through the rear wheels w/o some sort of traction or stability control?? Regarding your braking statement; I can't remember where I read it, but the Veyron can brake (albeit at high speeds) in excess of 1.6G (with the help of its air brake).

Im not having ago but what you said above is usless. Of course its no diffrent to anyother 1000bhp car. Is that not common sense. does a 500bhp car accelerate faster than anyother 500bhp car? of course not, and you would not point that out either if it was just a ferrari or lamborghini in this vid. The only reason your pointing this out is because its the veyron a car you dont care much about, which is fair enough its not everybodys cup of tea.

This reminds me of the other day when I was driving on the autobahn and was cut off by a CGT! This sentence is completely true if you replace the words "the autobahn" with "my driveway" and the word "CGT" with "my neighbor's cat."

I got into a crazy drift race around the Vegas Strip with the exact same Carerra.
