It's rumored to weight somewhere between 1600 - 1800 Kg.

But like I said, this is just a rumor. We'll only know by the time of the launch.

[|Nuno|]

it's 3500 pounds.

Is that the final figure? Based on what info? BTW, dry or kerb?

(Sorry for all these questions, just curious. )

About the 0-60 time... A Saleen Twin Turbo makes 2.9, so it's not that far.

Besides, 0-60 times aren't what counts. A tuned Skyline can make great 0-60 times. Does that mean it's a great car? No. And this works for both sides.

The overall package is what counts for me.

Yep, lets wait and see.

The only concern that I have of the Veyron is the weight issue. It is said it would weigh 4000lb but it is also said it would weigh aroud 3500lb. I hope it will weigh less than a Murcielago (same kind of car AWD, mid-engine)

interesting info on the testing Everso. I guess it could make sense too, as a way to really test the mechanical traction of the car at a much slower speed with more runoff area.
Like you guys are saying I think weight will be the biggest concern with this car. Thats probably also causing the biggest problems in the handling department, especially considering the enormous tires required to control it as well as put the power down. I doubt the car loses grip progressively, but is rather more like a racecar - when you lose it, you REALLY lose it.

Veyron "predicted" weight: 3500lbs = 1600kg, but will probably be more
Enzo = 1365
CGT = 1380

That's over 200kg more than both of them..... 200kg is hardly an unsignificant figure.... that's like having an extra 3 passengers in your enzo whilst driving

But power doesen't come into handling, grip, cornering, turn in and braking

They Veyron is going after a slightly different market segment than the Enzo and CGT though. Given, it is supposed to be a "hypercar" with incredible performance, but it is also supposed to be luxury and hi-tech. Given it has AWD, 7 gear DSG gearbox, 4 more cylinders than the Enzo and 6 more than the CGT, 4 turbos, AND a luxury interior, 200kg seems rather reasonable.

That's not really the point though, its competitors are the enzo, CGT, zonda etc etc....

I mean the XJ220 was the fastest car in the world about a decade ago, but it was widely regarded as a failure mainly down to its poor handling and the expectations jaguar had promised but failed to deliver

Well... can someone lock this one or the other topic about the Veyron?? We are having two different discussions about the SAME THING in 2 different Threads!

didnt they crash one, and almost crash another one? and bernd pick-his-nose has delayed it himself because of performance figures.

[ferrarif1fan89]

haha, i just found out that bernd himself crashed a mclaren f1 while at bmw. maybe he wants to avoid doing it again?

[SilviaEvo]

well my take on the Veyron is that it is a huge monstorous beast that will eat baby Vettes alive!!! btw the topic name is spelt wrong.
