Coffee Brake: Bugatti Veyron on top speed run.

I know its old news.
But,
Every time a see a video of a Veyron it still makes me tingle.
Plus I thought this could be a good mid-day break for a Monday.
So turn up your speakers just a little and don't forget to make it full screen and then sit back and enjoy the sheer power of The Bugatti Veyron.

Veyron is a waste. Buy a Koenigsegg CCX, go just as fast and have a car that is 1400 pounds lighter while saving about 700k. Silly Veyron pig weighs 4,000 lbs. I'd imagine the Koenigsegg's handling is far superior and that is the real reason VW is afraid to let Top Gear have a Veyron on their track.

They said at the top speed you run out of fuel in 12 mins and the tires only last 15, and it takes in as much air in one min and we take in in 4 days...that shit it crazy

Rubbish! Did you see Top Gears review of that car? They crashed it into a tire wall at 150 mph because there was absolutely no downforce on th CCX. And FYI, the Bugatti has a huge spoiler on the back to stop things like that happening! The only reason Bugatti won't let them take it round their track is because the real value of a Veyron is £5,500,000! Thats nearly 11 million dollars. Considering they've crashed that CCX on that track do you really think they'd let anyone near it with a car worth that amount of money?
