Well, it is an AWD car... so i guess the one with the lights is Buggati Veyron 'Rally Spec' lmao. That would be one expensive rally car.

All hail the Veyron!

Can't wait to get the last CAR issue.

I'm going to buy it tomorrow......

oh, and if and when the veyron does come out, it better be good. I'm just affraid of the car being too heavy.....and not gripping in corners like the CGT or the Enzo............yeah, yeah, I know it will have 4wd, but still.....

With it's 8 litre engine it has 4 times the allowed capacity

interesting catch. The lights have me thinking it might just be doing some bad-weather testing (there is snow on the ground) and used the extra lights to highlight windy side roads or w/e

Is there any Bugatti dealership near Ljubljana??? 8)

Nope :cry:

The best we have is Ferrari&Maserati and Porsche dealership.

I did one, the other one is "in the making".

It´s been a long wait for the Veyron and i´m really looking forward to see it in production to know all the facts and the opinion of the journalists and all the press

I will have to agree with you about the lights cause if they put millions in testing it's aerodynamics, why ruin it with four huge lights on the nose?

yea that seems right i didnt pay attention to that there was snow on the ground so bad weather testing makes sense.

Well perhaps this is good news then. I mean if there is snow on the ground, and a 1001ps supercar is out and about and not crashed, then the handling must be getting pretty sorted. Unlike last time it was shown publicly and spun on the track...

mindgam3 · 01-31-2005, 06:43 PM

It's an over engineered and overpriced car that has had way too much hype and not much delivered....

Even if all the performance claims are met, i'm not too sure if it can outgun all the other supercars, especially when they can do it with 6/10 the power and 1/2 the drive

Idd, that's normal stuf when testing a car in snowy conditions (at night):

So, that was how they solved the cooling problems eh...

Nah, seriously I'm not too excited about this car. Too much troubles, too heavy and not that good looking IMO... They focused too much on hp and top speed figures. I doubt the handling is that great...

Not that I'm complaining, but at least on the street 1001hp are useless... These power-wars should stop. Still, I'd like to see a test from Evo or any other mag.
