You won't believe what car i saw today...

marwan · (04-09-2008, 09:19 PM)

I was at a red traffic light and i saw a chrome Bugatti Veyron!!! only 5 were made as a special edition

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/C...UAE_150620.htm

i almost ran a red light to see this thing, it had a deep rumble to it even at low speed, never though I'd ever see it in my life, it costs approx $2.7 million dollars.

for those that don't know, the car is a V16 with Quad Turbos pumping 1001 horsepower, it does 0-60 in 2.5 sec, and it's acceleration faster than an F1 far!!! absolutely insane! O_O

Your tank will last for 30 miles

I'm not kidding, it gets 2MPG at full throttle and it has a 26 gallon tank. So, 52 miles as a matter of fact.

I have spoons that shine brighter than that car.

Not before your tires would wear out. Seriously not joking either....

Edit: Had that bassackwards....tires in 15mins, fuel in 12mins. Was well worth watching the video again to make sure I had it right or wrong though.

Was expecting the batmobile :(

bud · (04-09-2008, 09:25 PM)

i love the car, but i don't like that metallic finish. the blue one looks infinitely better.

I can't imagine driving near that car out in the sunny days. Blinding light bouncing off that car will results day of disaster.

On a related note, was there a show on Nickelodeon called Wienerville? There was an episode of Sonic last night that dealt with the destruction of Wienerville and it brought back faint memories. Normally I'd search but I'm at work.

to each his own i guess. the body panels are made out of unpainted aluminum then polished for that chrome look.

dankir · (04-09-2008, 09:58 PM)

Its not a metallic finished, its just an unpainted Pur Sang Veyron.

MARWAN DID YOU RACE IT IN YOUR E92 M3 !!

Jim Bowie · (04-09-2008, 09:58 PM)

I orgasm'd and I don't even like cars that much

I did that thing with my hands that the guy in the original picture is doing

the Reventon looks absolutely sick, but i dunno i it'll come close to the Veyron's specs. i know only 20 Reventons would be made...and all are sold.

JodyAnthony · 10:13 PM

i was expecting something exciting like the batmobile.

edit, wow, way beaten.

Dude I drove past the Wienermobile a few months ago on I-90 heading into Chicago. I nearly pooped my pants.

The next day on the news, they reported the Wienermobile getting a ticket somewhere in the Loop.

WickedAngel · (04-09-2008, 10:19 PM)

When I first saw the car, I didn't think they could make it look any worse. Now that I've seen this thread, I can safely say I was wrong.

And yet no time travel?

MrPing1000 · (04-09-2008, 10:39 PM)

Guessed what car it would be before I entered thread.

Mainly due to it being the only car I recognise and know of. Thanks Top Gear!

Sorry to be an elitist but [insert thisisneogafdude.gif], its not a V16 but a W16.

Basically 2 V8's stuck next to each other and each V8 is twin turboed. I am sure you know but others may not.

The car (Pegaso Edition) is owned by a Russian investor who lives in Dubai.

There's a radio personality in Dallas who owns two Batmobiles and a Mach 5.

The car in the OP looks like it'd be covered in fingerprints after five minutes of use.
