Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: The World's New Fastest Car

[coolmazda5]

The end-of-the-line Bugatti Veyron Super Sport isn't just the ultimate Bugatti. With a top speed of 268 mph, the 1,200-hp bercar is now also the new fastest production car in the world.

Just 30 of the ultra-rare, ultra-quick and ultra-pricey Bugatti Veyron Super Sports will be built as a final send off to one of the most coveted and extreme modern cars built. To mark the occasion Bugatti sent its test driver to Germany's Ehra-Lessen proving grounds along with some folks from the Guinness Book of Records to measure the top speed.

With a stated goal of 264 mph, Henri Raphanel managed to shatter the car's current top speed of 253 mph with two runs averaging 268 mph. It also left the 256 MPH SSC Ultimate Aero TT sucking its expensive German tailpipes. Unfortunately, the car will be electronically limited to just 258 mph so the owners don't destroy the tires.

All this speed comes courtesy of the additional 199 hp achieved through four larger turbos, some engine tuning, bigger intercoolers, and German troll dust. The chassis has also been tweaked with new shock absorbers and more travel to allow the car to stay planted to the road at high speeds while pulling 1.4 g's.

The car will bow at the Pebble Beach Concours, but even if you had the money to afford it you'd be too late. This car is likely spoken for.

My new favorite car. I love that color.

blows my mind that these cars are so retarded, yet look inside, it's quite normal. Think back to the cobra's or f40's or even mclaren lm's and they were stripped down and LOUD.

 

[ms6acton]

i love the interior, so simple yet beautiful

 

[Outlawstar98]

Haha, awesome car there!

 

[Olestra]

Roof intakes look awesome!

If they hadn't dipped it halfway into a vat of obnoxious red-orange paint, I'd love everything about it. That's a supercar you can drive across the country....mmmm, that interior. Just be ready to stop for gas....a lot.

 

[CKeffer]

Still not a big fan of the design and that obnoxious orange paint sure isn't helping.

 

[NocturnalSpeed]

Im not feeling it, but the interior is super simple and clean

And that is the reason is need 1000 or 1200 hp to beat out cars with 600 - 800 hp. I still hate it. I admire the feat, but hate hate hate the way they did it. It is not the ultimate road car, just the worlds fasted land yacht.

Well, we all have the right to our own opinions. But I will argue this point. Sure you could get by with less hp and go fast. But look at the body style of those cars. They all have the same low nose, axe look. This car breaks that mold and gives the 200 mph club a new face. One of eligance and class. The rest to me just look like rich boy racer cars.

And the is car (the bugatti veyron super sport) does not scream rich boy racer car??

I believe it cost more then any one of the cars you pictured.

No it doesn't. It's because it does cost so much. The only people that have them will take care of them.



Well all but people like that clown that drove it into the sea!(bump)

 

[judman13]

Because 2 - 2.5 Million dollars is not a lot of money at all....yeah....they either buy it to let it sit in a garage as a piece of history or they buy it to go fast in and they will end up wrecking it because thats what happens when you go fast.

Seriously....it was built just to go even faster than the already ridiculous veyron. Its a record setter and you only buy it to show the world you have a bigger penis then the guys with the fxx, aero ssc, Koenigsegg CCR. Still pointless.

You know none of them will get driven daily.
