Ferrari Mailing List: Re: BUGATTI WOW ! - (NFC)

[LS (lashdeep]

Is it really an engineering accomplishment? I beg to differ, it has 24 turbos 
and 50000 horsepower. Big deal...a kid could predict that.

An engineering accomplishment would be to design a car that could do the same 
with 600bhp or without all of the complication...and a lot of race cars have 
come close to that. There's nothing impressive about a 4700lb "sporty" car that 
is as complicated as the Veyron.

McLaren F1 is still the ultimate!

I think the record was set by a Peugeot, of 253 mph, or 406 kmh.  I think
they put the  twisties in Mulsanne straight, late 80's real 90's to help
keep top speeds down.

I think the old porsche 917s were touching up near 240 mph, but I can't find
any official times for it posted.

The thing with the BUG, if you drive it like that, you'll be out of gas in
about 12 minutes, if you start with a full tank, and tires probably not long
after. lol.  Still, it is quite the engineering accomplishment for a road
car!! ;-)
