Power is nothing without control.
That is SOOO TRUE. But the Veyron is still an amazing piece of work. For those of you who haven't seen it already (or want to see it again lol), there's a very beautifully well-designed video showcasing the engine's feature in all its details.
Go to http://www.bugatti-cars.de/bugatti/index.html
Choose your language
Go to Models > Veyron 16.4 > Engineering > Engine
On the bottom of the frame, click on "Legends from 1001 HP" and enjoy!

Also, I found the Adidas commercial on their website (www.adidas.com, click on "Who would you pick?"). I just love the music!
I can't agree with you more...
I have a video of a F40 vs. a Lotus Elise in some european track...the F40 pulled away in straights but in every turn the Elise kept very close...

I totally agree with everyone here, but you can't knock on the veyron's handling, it's just as good as the lotus, if not better. IMO Who in the hell in their right minds would push that car to the limit on a track and risk wrecking it. (besides, it has a lot of ponies, and he was just toying with him in the turns, just look at his breaking in the corners(just a reminder, it has 4 front brake pads)) top speed of around 250<---

veyrons are not really made for turns, more for top speed....elise are specifically designed for turns. they are hella light and agile and also being able to pull 1 lateral g...when ur talking about tracks with turns, its all about handeling and driver skill level. go to an autox event and u'll see miatas running almost same times as vettes and such.

no, he was on a racetrack, and the bugatti let him pass, and so he kept racing, like you should do on a racetrack.

People mess with me on Mario Kart like that when they are way better at driving than I am. It's amusing.... but it makes me curse more. [:@]
