I consider the style rather inconsistent - wheels are still round.

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*

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:

Sorry, yeah, I trimmed it a bit, see below. The Bright Folk should get it.

I was given a free ride in the new TDV8 a few weeks before Land Rover released it, ok it wasn't in mud but on a course inside Earl's Court set up by Land Rover to demonstrate what the vehicles can do. All I can say is it's pretty scary considering it was as standard doing all this stuff. I'll see if I can dig out the video.

wasn't that Centari's car in the "Last Starfighter?" the same one that broke down bringing Alex back? :suss: if it flies and jumps to other solar systems, I'll take one. If it only drives, I'll pass.

You realize that the "Bagutti Veilon" is the ultimate bag, leaving all others behind!
