Video Link to 9FF 388kph World Record Run

Nice one Sundeep. It's a fab video -- though not enough shots of the car rocketing past at 240mph for my liking...

It has been a long time coming, but Bugatti has finally revealed the production version of its awesome Veyron supercar as these first official pictures show.And after a series of problems in development, the EB16.4 Veyron has silenced the critics by smashing the top speed record for road cars with a spectacular two-way average speed of 252.95mph at parent company Volkswagen’s Ehra Lessien test track in Germany.Powered by a 987bhp, quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 engine, the Veyron betters the 9ff Porsche 996 241mph record set this year. The million-euro supercar is unveiled this weekend at Bugatti’s headquarters in Molsheim, France.The Veyron’s 922lb ft of torque is channelled through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox to all four wheels, propelling the 1888kg Bugatti from rest to 62mph in an outrageous 2.5sec.

I'd like to see what some of the other 'highest top speed' proclaimers would do at Ehra Lessien. It is the only test track with a long enough straight to do top speed runs now(Nardo is a banked circular track)...and VW were not letting anybody else use it whilst they were testing the Veyron...... :( :roll:
