Difference between a fast car and a really fast car. :D

[Benman]

The results come as NO surprise. :D

Bear in mind, that Veyron has the slowest 0-200 mph time ever officially recorded...

It has indeed, but it's still insanely fast. :D

The GT-R does a 100 mph when it goes past, 175 mph when the Veyron passes it. But the Veyron is doing 202 mph...

off topic- but i truly don't think i've ever had a conversation with a single GTR driver that was likeable. they are so socially self conscious and insecure that they remind me of some porsche drivers. (flame suit on)

(flame suit on)

while R8 drivers hold themselves to a higher standard :hahahehe:

Oh, STFU.

I swear this place is circling the drain to become as equally lame as every other car forum out there.

[RXBG]

rks- that's why i put the flame suit on :hihi: all in good fun- nothing personal to anyone out there.

icon- if you don't think RS6.com is THE place then you are beyond hope.

hmm thought there will be more difference... at a price difference of more than 1,5 millions of euros....

GTR best and most beautiful car ever made

A lot of the earlier press cars seem a little bit quicker than customer cars. That one on Top Gear fairly struggled against a McLaren F1.

I wonder if they'll bring it back and pit it against an M600 from a launch and then from a roll.:hahahehe:

I don't give much for Top Gear "testing"... it's all show.

I think you have to consider the fact that the two cars didn't start at the same time. :)

Well there you go, without the launch control, the Veyron's lower power-to-weight ratio and turbo lag holds it back. Take the launch out of the equation and it's 560bhp/ton vs 500bhp/ton (and AWD dual-clutch transmission losses). That's the great thing about the McLaren, no lag, instant response and immense flexibility - 50-70mph in 3.7s in 6th gear (30mph/1000rpm). However, the Veyron is definitely a better car for the common man and is a technological marvel.


I think the purpose of the Evo (GTR vs Veyron) article was to compare them for pace on a Welsh B-road. That was a rather different story...

A Veyron for the common man???
