| Re: Here it is everyone! The Bugatti Veyron lap time by Top Gear Saw it a few hours ago. The laptime for the Veyron was pretty expected, the car is heavy and the AWD distribution is 50/50 meaning that it under steers like crazy. Also the choice of colour is terrible, the car looked like a bar of bathroom soap. |

| Re: Here it is everyone! The Bugatti Veyron lap time by Top Gear Saw it too and it was a disappointment. Zonda F roadster was faster... I watched the episode on high quality and I noticed the bugatti had a little accident. If you go to the youtube link and watch the video on high quality, at the beginning of the lap, just when the car launches, you can see the bump on the bottom left side skirt. Wonder if the stig did that

| Re: Here it is everyone! The Bugatti Veyron lap time by Top Gear Man the Zonda ROOOOOXXXXXXx hahha a freakin drop top Zonda F .. is more or less the fastest ( normal ) car ever tested on top gear.. Apollo and Koenigsegg are nearly useless in everyday life.. And the CCX had a special top gear wing..without it..it was dead slow at 1:20 something.. PS You have to watch when james drives the ZOnda..that clip might be the best TG clip ever.. What a way to say goodbye to the ZOnda from topgears side.. They obviously have HUGE respect and love for it..

| Re: Here it is everyone! The Bugatti Veyron lap time by Top Gear 4th fastest, not bad considering the weight of the thing and that really doesn't excel on a track with a lot of turns. Still a winner in my book. M

| Re: Here it is everyone! The Bugatti Veyron lap time by Top Gear For a car that is the exact antithesis of a circuit racer - this is a monumentally impressive time! Again, unrealistic expectations vs. a sound understanding of reality. Oh and lest we all forget, this is still the true "fastest car in series production" in the world and it's straightline performance is epic. This is a continent-crossing machine - its primary objective is to be fastest and most exclusive road car in the world. It's not pretty, it's not perfect and it's hardly relevant in this day and age but - for as long as there are car fans on this planet - the Veyron represents the pinnacle of engineering triumph against all odds.

| Re: Here it is everyone! The Bugatti Veyron lap time by Top Gear Funny thing is probably my grandma could jump into it and do a 1:20+ looking at how effortless that was. |
