Default entertaining article!! Jeremy Clarkson drives the BugaTTi Veyron

.....and it's GLOWING. he says around the bends it feels like a "big Lotus Elise"......and that it makes the Enzo and Carrera GT feel "slow and pointless"!

i wonder if Audi will be able to LEASE me one. HAHAHA. Pre-Owned Certified? If there was ever a little boy obsessed with a Supercar...i am that little boy and the Veyron is that car. *faints*<ul><li><a href="http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-1890873,00.html">http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-1890873,00.html</a</li></ul>

Default those damned finicky car enthusiasts...

Clarkson was goshing over the enzo in the vid I posted the other day.

Glad to hear that the Veryon is not vaporware, even better to hear that it is better in metal than it appears on paper.

Default I love this quote, and I didn't realize the Veyron was THAT fast!...

"In a drag race you could let the McLaren get to 120mph before setting off in the Veyron. And you'd still get to 200mph first. The Bugatti is way, way faster than anything else the roads have seen."

If you watch the show, just about every car he drives is the best car he's ever driven

Default well, not to put too fine a point on it,

he talks alot about hom much fun it is to drive most cars, but he rarely puts his "seal of approval" on them.

even at the end of the enzo episode, he said that he liked the f40 better.

who do i have to *** to get his job?

Default to give you some idea...

a Formula One car does 0-60 in 2.2 seconds
a Bugatti Veyron does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds

a Formula One car has a top speed of 380km/h
a Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of 400km/h (wow)

the Veyron can go from 0-180 MPH in 14 seconds.
the Mclaren Mercedes SLR does it in 28 seconds (double)

this car is THE ONE.
