I hear sticker is 1.2M and they are asking $500,000 premiums to put your name on one of the first 50 being produced

Thats a bargain considering it costs Bugatti/VW 3 million a piece to build them. Cant believe they are taking a loss on this car too

Now if you got in on the first twenty they were $862,000.00. It required a $150,000.00 down.

Wow, you are one lucky man.

The Veyron is possibly the best car we will ever see, in our lifetime. Considering this car costs VW $5 million , no lie, so they're losing $4.5 million on every car they make.

The Veyron can stop from 200-0 in, something like 29 seconds? I can't remember the exact time but all the info you need is on the hour long Top Gear review of the Veyron, completely insane. I have never seen Jeremy Clarkson like this ever. Go to video.google.com and search Veyron and look for the one that is 59 mins long.

Must have been a fun ride...that number you were looking for the deceleration was 200mph to stop is 10 seconds, but it covers some serious real estate in that 10 seconds.

Compared to the Mclaren F1...from a standing start; you can let the Mclaren get to 120mph and then hit it in the Veyron and still beat the Mclaren to 200mph.

Damn...we needed a video of this test drive, and you should have notified some local 6 speeders to do some side by sides. I for one would like to have seen Craig's car up against this beast

Does it perform noticeably like a turbo car, or is it virtually lag-free? Is the acceleration linear?

Alexander is test driving the Bugatti on Tuesday, he said that he will take some video....also he might drive the Protomotive turbo or the CGT to the test drive, so there might be some heads-up action.

Also a note to the moderator, Alexander has signed up for 6-speedonline as 'VRAlexander', however his account (about 10 days old) has not been activated. Could someone activate his account so he can post the videos.. Thanks..
