Bugatti Veyron At 253MPH

written by John Chow on March 25th, 2007

Ever wonder what 253MPH in a Bugatti Veyron feels like? Well, the nut cases at Top Gear decided to find out. I hear that Volkswagen does set up special private events for Bugatti owners to try their hand at going 253MPH on the Volkswagen test track. I’m sure many Bugatti owners jump at the chance but I have to wonder if any have reached the magic top speed? My bet is most will chicken out at around 230MPH. Enjoy the video.

  1. Woot first to comment =]

  2. 253mph, 407kph, that’s faster than a Twin Engine Beechcraft Baron ! :shock:

  3. None. :D There’s no where to go faster than 160 km/hr here. Well, I daresay that I would definitely chicken out at that speed.

  4. That’s 405km/h for those of us who use the metric system. :)

    Amazing car, fantastic show. I wish I could watch it more often.

  5. Love that car, have you seen these pictures.

    The man smashed up £750,000 Car then lost his driving license.

    Amazing car. I could’ve watched a much higher quality version of this off of our server, but I’m not sure what episode it is.

  7. WOW!!!
    Fantastic.
    Impressive
    Superb
    I wonder when I’ll have one like it?
    :arrow: :shock:

  8. :mrgreen: Its good to see Top Gear finally test that car. Damn that was fast!!
    I’m still wondering how fast it does on their track.

    Very cool! That’s one of the coolest cars I have ever seen. I take it ‘Top Gear’ is a British show?

    What is special about Top Gears track? Is it really better than VW’s?? If so, how?

  10. Man I wish I’ll get to drive that kind of car one day. :shock:

    I’m surprise you didn’t get one for yourself John !? :razz:

  11. Looks like your ReviewMe price went down a little. The rollercoaster life of making money online.

    Take Care,

    Michael

  12. Oh man….

    Sadly, I really don’t think I’d have the balls to take it anywhere near it’s top speed

  13. Awesome car!

    Sadly, I don’t think I’d have the stones to get this car to it’s top speed :(

  14. 1001 HP. My god :shock: What an incredible machine. I can’t even think that fast :sad:

  15. One of the best episodes was when the Stig crashed the Koenigsegg. I didn’t see that coming. The follow up episode was even better.

    If you’ve got some time I suggest tracking those episodes down.

  16. Right me if I’m wrong, but isn’t koenigsegg the fastest car?

  17. :mrgreen:
    This car is too much, I want it, I need it! I know of a highway out in New Mexico that I could have some awesome fun on with this car, wonder if the bank would loan me some cash for this? :cool:

  18. You can find more information about this car at my blog. http://cartuning2007.blogspot.com

  19. Top Gear is a great show.. the best of British! :mrgreen:

  20. Like the car.
    It will not really do 250 miles in an hour though. :cry:
    It runs out of gas long before it gets that far.

  21. Wow, that was awesome!

    The car is going so fast that you couldn´t see it :twisted:

    Going at 407km/h its passing 1 football field per second! like the guy said in the video.

  22. Saw that video a few days ago…it’s incredible. I’m surprised he didn’t pee his pants at that speed!

  23. lol, 5km straight stretch :mrgreen: surprised the veyron didn’t have to stop for fuel half way through..

  24. That has got to be the craziest experience to go that fast in a stock car. I would like to think that I could go that fast, but I wouldn’t know. How about that wind resistance? I’m an engineering major, so I can just imagine what speeds like that do to the paint and other parts of the car. The car would probably wear out pretty fast at constant speeds like that.

  25. A simply amazing car, now what does it take to get a spot as a test drive on Top Gear
