I was at goodwood last year and so this monster at a glance i thought it was a 300 on steroids lol

Dirtiest Bugatti ever !?

what i wouldnt do to own one of them. some people have to much money :(

One of my favourite cars ever. Pains me to see it like that. I'm bad enough when my Zed isn't spotless!!b

oooh the Eb110, one of the best looking bugattis still

oooh the Eb110, one of the best looking bugattis still

 

I still have my 1:18 scale model in the same colour. Closest i'll get to owning one :drool:

4 turbos!!!

:blink: I must be the only person on here that thinks it looks hideous then!

each to their own opinion

That's the SS version. WOW :blush:

i was there on the last day finals of hill climb but it must have been gleaming first day it was there was very,very dusty there they said had not rained for six weeks,lucky them did here all summer lol

The EB110 is an awesome car, fact.

 

It looks a little dated now, admittedly, especially from the rear - but for a twenty year old car it is forgiveable. To me, it only serves to highlight what a pointless exercise the new Veyron is - if you look at the facts, they've hardly achieved anything in those 15 odd years seperating the two models.

 

Both cars made of carbonfibre (EB110 was first production car to have c/f chassis)

Both cars 4WD

Both cars quad turbo

Both cars mid engined

Both cars were/are the quickest production car of their time

 

So the Veyron was hardly breaking new ground with its big, fat ugly face and impossibly ugly rear. The EB110 sprinted from 0-60 in 3.3/3.6 secs (hardly shabby) and had a top speed well over 200mph. The Veyron? Well, it is a bit quicker, but unless you have a major inferiority complex and must, absolutely, have the fastest car away from the lights - then the EB110 would be more than adequate for most. The point I'm making is that progress hasn't really been made at all. Sure the Bugatti is the fastest car in the world, but how many owners will actually max out the Bugs? Very few, i think. So what is the relevance of the Veyron (except for bragging rights)? I think it shows just what a competent car the EB110 was/is.

 

I look forward to when Bugatti roll out an ultra-lightweight exotic, that handles as well as it accelerates and sets a new standard for other manufacturers to follow, not just a performance target.

Fastest car in the world is the mclaren F1.........(yes im going to kick up a storm here) BUT when you look at it this way

 

The fastest NON turbo car in the world is the mclaren F1

 

Bugatti and Koenigsegg CCR are just turbo charged engines. id love to see what the Mclaren can do with 4 turbos strapped to it lol

probably blow up :laugh:

Not likely, have you seen that engine? :wacko:

Did anyone else notice on the Topgear episode featuring the Veyron vs the F1 how off the line and up till around 240kph (150mph) the F1 completely smashed the Veyron!!

Says more about the brilliance of the F1 than the Veyron to me.

Never mentioned that bit afterwards??

Mac F1 WAS the fastest car, but as it is no longer in production, it cannot claim to be the fastest production car. Though it proabably can still claim to be the fastest N/A production car of all time??

This was true, but I think you have to remember Top Gear is a little calculating when it comes to its features.. The Veyron would destroy everything (apart from the latest generation 911 turbo, and even then the Porka would only keep up until about 30mph!) off the line. To make it more of a show they allowed the Mac to get up and running before nailing the Veyron. There's just no way a RWD car can compete with a 4WD car off the line. Thats why a Scooby will always get an instant lead when drag racing your Zed!

Pity the Veyron is the car equivalent of John Merrick

The thing is, it's easy to make a car go fast, anyone can put a massive engine in something and make it a pointy shape to get to 200+mph. Hell, BMW make a 4 door saloon that is capable of 200mph.

 

The point of the Veyron is that it's capable of these amazing performance figures, but is able to pull these numbers all day long. As it's made by VW (sort of), it's built to the same standards as all their other cars, i.e. it's been designed to be able to last for 300,000 kilometers without an engine rebuild. I'm not sure the same could be said of an F1, or many/any other supercars...
