that is the definition of WALKING a car

Veyron is one of the nicest cars I've seen..

 

[tbike06]

That thing is FAST.

I love how it looks like the Veyron is teasing it ... "come on, a little closer, a little closer ... *whoosh* *vanishes* "

thats actually the Veyron not being able to corner nearly as well as a vehicle that weighs 2800lbs less than it.

I love how a little Elise can stay in touch with a Veyron on a track.

That's why I said "looks like" ... if there was a straight stretch of track of any length, I'm sure the Bugatti driver would have a laugh. Give the Lotus half the stretch ... then blow by it by the 3/4 mark

how do you know the driver in the veyron knows what hes doing?

if anything, the elise catches up to the veyron in tight turns.

$40,000 vs what, $1,000,0000 or so. You could buy 25 elises with that money.

$1.25 million, add 6 more elises

a couple of points

1) throw enough money at the problem and you'll eventually solve it (eventually is the key word)
2) the veyron is 4300 lbs, don't expect it to corner like most other exotics that are light

It would have been a little more fair if the Veyron was put up against the Exige S. It would have still gotten slaughtered.... but not quite as bad.

and if the exige/elise wasn't carrying 150+ lbs of cameraman deadweight.

And even less bad slaughtering would be the Lotus Sport Exige.

nice video

I find that my Veyron is a bit faster than my Elise on the Nuremburg.

 

[GTaudiophile]

And you can buy like 30 Elises for the price on one Veyron.

thats been said about twice already...

 

[Descartes]

The Elise sounds great.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Hmm, a car that costs 1.5 million dollars vs a car that costs $50k. I'd say the Lotus did quite well.

And that's not even considering they say the veyron actually costs bugatti ~5 mil to actually build.

Nurburgring is what you're looking for.

yea i agree, volkswagen knew it was going to be a loss in the first place...they just wanted to prove something i guess.

 

[TitanDiddly]

My MB 300D (w/ turbo) could probably hold its own there. Not win, but not spectacular loss, either.
