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.

    Here are some ore stats: the 2008 Dodge Viper has a 8.4 liter engine which puts out 600 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque!

    The whoosh of air being sucked into them must be impressive. Consider how much air it needs to go through as it propels itself to this speed…

    Apparently it comes with 2 keys, the second key is to activate the ‘top speed’ option when you need to go really fast.

    That’s a very sensible feature to offer :) I had heard about it before though. I don’t think it’s unique to this car.

    I’m sure the car wouldn’t let you, it probably locks it out once the car is started.

    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.

    I have driven faster than 160 km/hr here, and that was on the road, granted in the middle of the night, but if I had a car that could accelerate faster, I could have, not saying I would have, but I could have gone a lot faster…

    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.

    Saman how can you say that when we have Heroes? :)

    Top Gear is definetly the best non-fiction show on tv. I went through a period where I was downloading old Top Gear shows non-stop. I had to stop myself when I realised I was spending most of my day watching the show and getting no work done.

    Those three guys have the best job in the world.

    Well, it’s actually 24, then Top Gear…and Heroes is prolly like #3 or 4. :cool:

    And, yes…they do have the coolest job in the world.

    I’ve seen Top Gear magazine (and other British car magazines) for sale at Barnes & Noble, Borders, and many newsstands in the U.S.

    Better still is if you could actually go 300-350 Km/H to go somewhere. Now that would be awesome until you hit something…

    He was on the Bugatti waiting list for a year and then he’d only had it a week before ruining it. :cry:

    I guess he just went overboard with that new toy of his. I wouldn’t have gone that far to ruin it, though.

    I would never spend that much money on a car, even if I could afford it. So it wouldn’t happen to me :)

    Dave : then you’re not imaginative enough ;)

    There are very few things I wouldn’t buy if I could afford them. But I mean truly afford, not just have the amount of money to buy them. There is a difference between the two.

    Right, if you had the money to even consider buying the car, you would have a garage full of exotics already!

    Now that’s a great quote! I love that one ;)

    I do share the sentiment. Losing it from a financial standpoint is a big deal. But the fact that there are now only 299 others left and he’s unlikely to ever get another one it the real gut wrenching part.
