Apparently, though the tires were specially manufactured for it, they would last only slightly longer than a full fuel tank (about twelve minutes) at top speed... Theoretically, you could take the Veyron up to the top speed of about 250mph and back to 0mph again in about a minute. [url=http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/vehicles/road/cars/Bugatti_Veyron.html]Some facts[/url]: 253 mph - The electronically limited top speed. 257 mph - The theoretical top speed, on a perfect run. [b]2.3 mpg - Fuel economy when running at full speed[/b] 12 minutes - The time it takes to empty the fuel tank at top speed 51 miles - The distance covered while emptying the tank 0 - 60 mph - 3 seconds 0 - 125 mph - 7.3 seconds 0 - 187 mph - 16.7 seconds 0 - 250 mph - 55 seconds 250 - 0 mph - 9.8 seconds The seven speed DSG transmission can handle up to 1106 lb ft of torque, 185 lb ft more than the Veyron develops. If a Mclaren F1 traveling at 100 mph went past a stationary Bugatti Veyron, and the Veyron set off at full acceleration as the Mclaren passed, the Veyron would top 200 mph first. 1,000,000 - the price of a Veyron in Euros 1,121,000 - the price in US dollars 683,200 - the price in English pounds [small]<----I'm sure it started at about 850,000, though...[/small] _____ Me again: I don't know how true this is, but it is rumoured that despite the high list price, each Veyron is sold at a loss of over £4,000,000! I suppose this factors-in the development costs, etc... Oh yeah, and it produces 922lb/ft (1,249nM) torque between 2,200-5,500rpm. That's all.
