Dan507 Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 NEW VEYRON SUPER SPORT HITS 268MPHA Bugatti is once again the fastest car in the worldA new 1200hp Veyron has reclaimed the 'fastest car in the world' crown for Bugatti, setting an average top speed of 268mph. The car - the long-awaited Bugatti Veyron Super Sport - set the new record at VW's Ehra-Lessien test facility near Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon, with Bugatti test driver, Pierre Henri Raphanel, at the wheel."We took it that we would reach an average value of 425 km/h (264 mph), but the conditions today were perfect and allowed even more," said Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, Bugatti's chief engineer.The 1200hp, 1106lb ft Super Sport gets its extra 200hp and 184lb ft via four enlarged turbochargers and larger intercoolers for the 16-cylinder engine.To cope with the extra poke, the Veyron Super Sport also has slightly raised main-spring travel, stiffer anti-roll bars and new shock absorbers. The body gets roof-mounted NACA ducts rather than air scoops, a double diffuser at the rear, and a centrally mounted exhaust. Road cars won't be able to quite maximise the Veyron's potential ghowever - Bugatti has limited these to 'just' 258mph.The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport will make its in-the-metal debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California this August.Link: http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=22168 Quote

paulgtt Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I don't know why but these things don't interest me at all.same here, looks fugly, so very much like the old one then Quote
ollie ryan Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 zonda and a koenisegg over this any day and i would have two daily drivers for less money Quote
Adzuk25 Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Supercars should look ridiculous and overthe top, like lambo's and the zonda this just doesnt Quote
Russleh Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 i dont think they made it to be typical supercar. its made like a luxury executive supercar. if they had just wanted to make a supercar it would probably just be nothing inside but insteads if just like any big comfy car. looks wise i also think they made it to look powerful but yet not a crazy shape with dodgy scoops n shiz everywhere. i dont think its in the same group as any other supercars imo Quote
Russleh Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 defo need to get a hold of one of them engines and shoehorn it in somehow. be more like mountin the car to the engine than the engine to car tho Quote
