I must admit that I'm impressed, I thought the numbers would have never been reached by Bugatti.

Pictures and Review

Engine 72º W 16 (Yes, as in 16 Cylinders)

Weight 1900 kilo / 4188.8 lbs

Power 1001 bhp / 747 KW @ 6000 rpm

Torque 1250 Nm / 922 ft lbs @ 2200 rpm

Top Speed 407 km/h / 253 mph

0-60 mph Acceleration N/A

Drive All wheel drive

Gearbox 7 speed Sequential

Aspiration Quad Turbos

Interesting facts:

Despite the delays, Bugatti has managed to meet their goal set back in 2001, which was confirmed at the Ehra - Lessien Volkswagen proving grounds where a production Veyron topped out at 407 km/h (253 mph). The stellar acceleration figures are only outdone by the braking abilities; assistance from an airbrake and the massive carbon fibre discs can bring the car to a halt from its top speed in less than 10 seconds.
Just to be on the safe side none of the production cars will have 1001 bhp, but instead 5% to 8% more.

Yeah its fast - unfortunately it looks like something i had in development since last nights dinner and finally made it into production this morning after breakfast.

Still im sure there's plenty of people lining up for them.

Try 425mm ceramic/carbon composite at all 4 crns, that should do the trick. Oh I forgot it has verticle flaps that acts as air resistant brakes, from what I found out, they works the treat, but the price is hideous.

On another note Brisbane Audi are supposedly to be the distributor for Aust. and when you're in negotiation or ordering, some dude fly out from France to make note/details on your equipement levels after a substantial deposit.

For buying the car you get to visit the factory and fitted to your car and trained for in-vehicle use, by the factory.

Also there is 1 confirmed order.

The ENZO and Porsche GT are dedicated LHD, Also they can be spec without any emission control"exhaust&cat" also they too farking LOUD, and I mean loud as an understatement.

The Bug is built to order either LHD or RHD and they cone with full emission and noise control, which does say alot about the car ability to do what it does with all the strings attached, where as the previous 2 are just track cars disguise as street cars.

Also on another note, the Bug has a launch/Vmax sequence, where the main key has to be used, and a secondary button to activate it, and what it does is, goes through and check coolant/oil/heat/tyres and then shut down frontal opening & a/c then settles the car down to 50mm, all the guages blackens out and the only one still visible are highlighted. tacho and speedo is all is left of the entire intrument cluster.

So, what would win? This or a Koenigsegg CCR? Both have almost identical claims for acceleration (0-100 in under 3 secs) and top speed (over 400km/h)... My money is on the Koenigsegg, despite a very slightly lower vmax - it's just so much lighter!

As for Price, my prediciton is the Bugatti will be at least $2.5 million once it lands here. Given a Pagani Zonda is $1.4 million over here, and that is signifficantly cheaper than the Bugatti will be in overseas markets.

I have seen a DVD of the Bug, courtesy of Audi Bris. on this car and althought I'm not a fan of it, but honestly, comparing the bug and the koenigseggCCR is like comparing a go-kart to an F1 car, Really the technology in the bugs is beyond me and many other imaginations. although conceptually a street car, but it would leave most super exotic lay in it wakes on the track.

There is a video of a k.CCR doing the round of hockemhein, going by the time a Z tune GTR would whip it up like a little school kid.

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
