Road & Track tested the Bugatti Veyron SS: 9.9sec @ 146mph and other insane numbers

[tristateZ28Lt1]

This is absolutely stunning. I did not expect that this car would actually break into the 9s at almost 150mph completely stock and without any drama while still sitting in a super luxury ca interior. :bowdown: to this amazing piece of engineering.
Whoever can afford one of those cars must be the luckiest person on earth.

Comparison to the 2012 GT-R and Turbo S

Yeah, it's fast. We get it. How many times do we have to go over it?

I don't care if it has 9,000hp. Any car that runs 9s on 20/21 inch wheels, 93 octane, with a 4,500lb curb weight and as much luxury as a ****ing Rolls Royce is a winner in my book.

Anything can be made fast, but how many cars can do it the way a Veyron does. :coolman:

I've heard a tune on these Veyrons run $40k. I can't imagine the price for LTs, X and catback. EEEEEEEEK!

Peanuts if you can afford a 2+ million dollar toy. Imagine one with 4 bigger turbos tuned on E85, haha.

I'd rather pick up an Ultimate Aero SSC. At least I'll be able to drive that for more that 2 miles, without having to fill up, and still be able to beat a Veyron.

I heard that too but that was a regular Veyron. I don't know if there is anything for a SS?

Not the SS (possibly in the 1/4 I suppose, but that's not what the cars were made for) the SSC is exactly why Bugatti released the SS.

LMAO it costs almost 3 million dollars and has about 1200 horsepower, what did you expect it to run?

I'd rather have a Koenigsegg and build a brand new AMG CLS63 to run 9s and still have a million left over.

lol come on man.

Anyone who can afford one of these likely already has one of any car you can imagine and a ridiculous amount of money left over. :-D The last thing they're thinking is how many different cars they can buy that would be a better value. :lol:

 

[ford_racer]

I'd rather build a F16 that can do run 8s and shoot down pesky MIGs instead. :bored:

 

[GTSpartan]

$2.7 mil

Do you take cash lol

That's baller right there. You go straight to the head of the line at any country club you visit.

The price goes up and down with the dollar value also. I'll have to find the C&D explanation of how that worked.

Edit:

Consider these facts: Bugatti prices the Super Sport at 1.65 million euros and will charge the 10 to 12 expected American buyers based on the spot exchange rate. Thus, if the dollar softens by a mere cent against the euro, the car’s window sticker jumps more than $16,000.

They released their response already to the SS. America. maintaining dominance in all that is fast. epper:

Whoa! Looks like they have another monster too!
