Who will take the Veyrons crown?

[Lateknight]

Fastest 'production car' speed record.

'Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Aero' ?

or

'9ff GT9' ?

or maybe Bugatti should just turn the turbo boost up a little on a special edition Veyron, and push the production car speed record out of reach of these little upstarts. :hahahehe:

I'm not an aerodynamic engineer but the Shelby looks better suit to travel at these speeds, but who know.

I think both will beat it's record sooner or later but even if they do it's missing the point, the Veyron is an everyday usable hyper car that can be driven like a 1.0L city car that just happens to also be the fastest one in the world.

The real point is if they beat it will this lessen people's opinion of the Bugatti's achievement. Personally my answer would be no.

Don't forget this one.

And neither the CCXR...

Seriously fast cars and I think that atleast one of the Porsches and the Koenigsegg will be over 400 km/h this year. Though I agree on Leadfoots statement. Because of that the Veyron can be used every day in a city, and when you feel like it you can go and hit 400 km/h. That achivement is something that will be hard to beat...

RUF´s Godzilla maybe? and what ever happened to the Edonis?

[Sander]

Don't forget this one, on the year it was launcht it won the 24H of Le Mans

The test vid I saw from Nardo that was their goal but as far as I can recall it never happened :mech:

[SuperstarDriver]

haha... in 2007 or in the first quarter of 2008 Veyron will have a bigger brother...Veyron GT with 1250HP (250HP more...) so don't even think to beat an Veyron cause you couldn't!

[Bingocaller]

Confirmed by whom?

[SuperstarDriver]

by Porsche Audi Groupe confirmation and then Bugatti has replied this an said that will be an Veyron GT with 1250HP!
