The Bugatti Veyron has ruined car discussions. It doesn't matter if you are comparing super-minis, 4x4s or super-cars. Someone, somewhere at some-point will say "Those all suck, the Bugatti Veyron is ultimate." I freaking posted about the Audi A5 and had my post destroyed by a "Bugatti Veyron" deus ex machina post. For god sakes people! *gets a brown paper bag*

nah, that's the new "infiniteEdge" technology. There are so many edges to this mega-ultra-composite that is effectively round :D

Absolutely right! I remember the hijack of the A5 topic. Any mention of the name Veyron should be instantly be decalred and marked as Off-Topic in such a thread, as it has nothing to do with cars.

meanie... -- modified at 5:45 Thursday 13th September, 2007 though I do believe any self respecting tree would actually move out of the way before ANY collision. if not then the automatic inter-plane phase engines would kick in, temporarily transporting the car into another dimension, maintaining velocity, and returning it to this dimension whence the danger to the car - not the driver - has been circumvented.

I'd like to see a Veyron doing this[^] ;P Besides the Koeingsegg (or however you spell it) CCX was redone to use biofuel and although it hasn't gone into production has more horses under the bonnet than the Veyron. And to be honest the McLaren F1 was achieving speeds like the Veyron 10 years ago.

all too true, but we're just guys. We can't help seeing something with this much raw power without drooling or panting.

:-D That was fun, thanks Ed. First time I've heard of a Range Rover being the David in a David and Goliath battle though :-D As for the Koeingsegg, a smidgen less annoying in discussions than the Veyron. The Koeingsegg is what the real car people mention when people who don't know much about cars mention the Veyron. Real know-it-all ;)

Yeah but we've had posts here of some cool new 4x4 and someone replies "Yeah, but it isn't a Bugatti Veyron!" and then I phone Chuck Norris. The most irrelevant car on the planet.

Lamborghini revealed their latest creation at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It costs $1.000.000 and there will only be 20 units produced. I think Batman is one of their clients. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/11/frankfurt-motor-show-the-lamborghini-reventon-revealed/[^]

Well I am a Land Rover fanatic, in fact I'd rather have one of each of every Land Rover produced than a Veyron or Lamborghini or any supercar for that matter. Even if you included an original Series I, II (88 and 109), IIA (88 and 109), III (88 [already got] and 109), (Pre-)Defender (90, 110 and 130), Defender (90, 110 and 130), Range Rover Classic, Disco (1, II and 3), Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Freelander (1 and 2). I'd still have money left over from buying a supercar. (Oops forgot all the military variants as well such as the light-weight and 101) Plus I'd get more satisfaction out of them, Sport if you want performance (I mean come on 2.7 tonnes 0-60mph in 6 seconds :eek:).

Nope just watch Top Gear a lot :rolleyes:, besides I've always had a fascination with the F1 since it's a British car and as usual with the British it was designed well, the same with Concorde, the Spitfire, Aston Martins etc.

It was nice to see the Sport still had some mud-plugging ability.

dude, just look at it!!! That thing looks like it's been styled with a razor! Those sleek, sleek sharp edges, the gorgeous brake light, the contours of the body... sigh, i bet the disc brakes themselves cost $10,000 :( btw, nothing wrong with KIAs or most other cars, these are just dream cars (for me at least!) I need a rich uncle... :sigh:

So is this Godwin'sWatson's law: As an online discussion of cars grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving the Bugatti Veyron approaches one. :)
