changing a tire on a veyron is like $24k. how rich must you be to take a car like that to the track? that car is just absurd. for that much money - why not just buy an old F1 car?
good driving in that lotus! great job!. But it's good to see the veyron beeing raced a bit. Not that it's a race car, but there is just too many supercars collecting dust locked away in a garage all the time.
despite the veyron being half a tone heavier its over a second faster doing 0-60 is 2.5, why anybody would want to do that on the roads shock me. and for only $50k you can get a subara which is just as fast.
You have to love the Elise for its impeccable handling and track performance. But on the other hand, my hat is off to the Veyron owner for actually taking his car to the track instead of keeping locked away in a garage.
The second key is for top speed mode which lowers the suspension and RETRACTS the spoiler. The keys don't affect the power output of the engine, other than limiting the top speed (to 230 odd mph) In any respect you couldn't drive the car in top speed mode on a track, as the second you touch the brakes it reverts to handling mode.
Wrong, you buy it because you're going to use it to it's full potential... like the guy in the elise.... You don't buy it because it's rare, what a stupid response....
and what makes u think im wrong? u probably havnt bought 1 right? the value of that car is going up already. would u want to smash it up racing a elise? its not worth his time. oh and
if he's taking it out on track, he didnt buy it because its rare. my dad has an aston martin thats as rare as a veyron and he didnt buy it for that reason he bought it because he wanted one and wated to drive it
i was only using it as an example, and it is rare i except that there are rarer cars like the Aston Martin DB4 GT Light Weight only 2 were made. and if your going to work on engines then there is only one Aston like my dads with that engine as each on is hand made, you will never see 2 identical engines, then as the body panels are hand rolled and beaten there only one with that body.
that homo in the veryon doesnt deserve it, he was missing all the lines into the corners and only going fast on the straight if the corse had corners only i could beat him on my sisters push bike.
Note that the Elise doesn't even have 200 horse power. Thats why the other car was killing in straights its weight and dynamics are designed for corners. not to mention the extra passenger in the elise really was a disadvantage in this race.
either that or that ultima thing, from the uk which is breaking all the records, then america can come and break down with their ultimate aero toy car...
i do love fast cars, and i do love the veyron's astonishing statistics. but one thing which is a let down: the exterior, although the drag coefficient is low, it lacks beauty in comparison to the mc12. the interior is however, glorious and almost perfect. the shape looks like the old bugatti, but it's not all pretty. nice power though, an engine like that is a technological achievenment
On a twisty track, the Veyron probably wouldn't win against any real sports car. With two V8s taped together, that thing's got to be insanely unbalanced.
Your a fool if you think that, go check nurburgring lap times. See what cars are faster, and what cars are close. I will give you a hint, its from Chevy and its called a Z06. Its not faster but, when you factor in price dif, its a bit of a land slide.
Right but what my point was is the Veryon wasn't build for the track, and the nurburgring lap times prove that as a car thats 1.4 million dollars cheaper can lap it only two seconds slower. The Veryon is an amazing car, dont get me wrong, but a tad bit over priced, as only us amercians race in a stright line, or so says europe.
The Nurburgring lap time was done by a test engineer, an average driver. Give the Veyron to a professional, the lap time will be much better. As for the price, your argument has no clue. The Veyron is a high quality engineered supercar bundled with luxury that happen to outdo many production cars. It will be a while manufacturers will be able to match the Veyron as the whole package.
I will agree with you about it being a supercar, but for the price, its pointless. If you were to invest 1.4 million into a Corvette, it would do a bit better than the Veryon.
As the engine is underpowered, a w16 with 4 turbos only makes 1001hp. We can make that from v8s. Also people forget about what a supercar is, its not about having the nicest ride quality, thats what a luxury car is for. But in the end its a pointless argument as, we each have our own view. They are different classes of cars.
It's 1001bhp that you can use reliably, with only minor servicing, like a normal car. It will never overheat. The engine might do 200,000 miles in it's life. A 1000-2000bhp dragster needs regular engine rebuilds. That's the difference.
I highly doubt minor servicing, as look at Ferrari, They need a tune every 30k miles I think, and its not cheap either. But you are right about the engine rebuilds, but you could bolster more power without hurting the engine, with 4 turbos and 16 cylinders, but thats my view. I didn't build the car so, I guess I will take out a loan for 20 million and build my own super car I guess....Lol
Yes you can reach the speed or near speed of a veyron with a modified Corvette, but think of this:
"Stock" Veyron = Modified Corvette "about"
"Modified" Veyron > a fighter jet "laughs"
Theres room for modifying the veyron where you have to do things to other cars that will ruin them in a short time just to get close to the speed of the veyron.
NOS... or for us that dont watch the Fast and the Furious movies for our car knowledge, Nitrous. And for the record, i dont think a Veyron would have any problem walking any corvette, whether it's a Hennessy, or a Lingenfelter, or even a modded 09' zr1.
so is gtr and a lot of cars...but lets not make this another gtr vs zr1 "when the vspec comes" kind of things. the zr1 is a great performance to $ ratio car, though
What, are you 16? You don't put NOS on a million dollar car! The Bugatti is about as close to perfection as you can get on four wheels and still be street legal. You would probably paint it lime green and put a Pep Boy's wing on it too.
You must have no life, replying to my 8 month old comment.
I personally wouldn't put Nos in a veyron, thats just an example of something you can do.
Its stock, even though it is a great car and it is worth 1 million dollars that doesn't change the fact that it is stock and there is always something you can do to better a stock car.
are you retarded, ya you can do things to "stock" cars if you want them to break down in the near future, or take away from some other area of performance. Do you not think a car costing over a mill has already had every possibly modification done to it? "hey i "tune" honda civics so how about you let me blow up your veyron"
Actually there is nothing more you can do. It's already jam packed with so many things it's impossible. 10 radiators, 4 turbochargers, the list goes on...
Its not impossible at all. The car is built for reliability too remember so you could in theory remap the ecu, turn boost up ect and get more power but it would not likely be very reliable anymore.
They are both quite good. As most exoics require a totaly service every, 30k or so? But what my point is, the Vettes only 70k. A bit different than 1.5 million. If you put even another 200k into the Vette, incuding interior and engine work ect it would be better than the Veryon on every account.
I supose that bugatti is best (for now) in a straight line but the feeling that I got from this video is that on corners it is not that big deal... I'd like to see this car on a Pro's hands and see what it can give!
top speed the veyron will beat anything out there, of course, there are cars that can get from 0-100 faster than the veyron: veyron is a road car designed to have the highest top speed anyone could imagine. i still wouldnt get it... performance and handling, i'd love to see veyron beat a porsche 911 GT3 around a track.
actually the new ferrari FXX can go 256mph while the bugatti is close going 253mph! i think the bugatti veyrons 0-60 time is .1 sec faster than the FXX
Not going to try to say the Lotus has a chance in any case, but a supercharged K20/K24 motor would make it a lot more interesting. You could easily double+ the torque compared to the stock motor.
The Veyron is too heavy to be considered a race car. On a small windy track, I'd back an Ariel Atom to own it. On a long track where top speed matters, I'm backing an Ultima GTR or Cerbera Speed 12, everytime, as they are SO much lighter, and with the tyres fully harnessed up to the road, the veyron's 4 wheel drive will be negated (all it is good for is 0-60 times, between 100 and 200, the Hennessey Viper outdoes it, and that weighs a LOT more than the Ultima or TVR).
Ultima GTR is a kit car. TVR is basically a race car and Hennessey Viper is a tuner. The Veyron was never designed to be a race car anyway. End of story.
Why does it matter the Ultima GTR is a kit car? It's an amazing car, and will out accelerate a Veyron to 200mph. It'd destroy it on virtually all fronts, except top speed.
That version of TVR Speed 12 was intended for racing given the configuration and the dashboard. I just forgot to mention which version. Instead of correcting about the unintended mistake I made, you talk trash. Thanks for nothing.
"The Veyron was never designed to be a race car, it is a road car capable of performing on track." YOUR WORDS and yet you would have the balls to say a TVR is a race car in the face of that. Man shut the fuck up with you twisted meaningless opinions to make you sound right. You are a dumbass.
the elise is a good car despite the lack of power because it is extreamly lightweight but it has no chance against a 1000+ hp cAR that goes over 253 mph.
any half decent ferrari including the old f40 would eat the veryon for breakfast round a non top speed track. 2 tones is allot of wieght to work round corners even with phat tyres
Wrong, the Veyron got acceleration/braking and cornering covered against the F40. Majority of testers were surprised by its handling even though it is heavy and not designed for the racing track. Recently, the Veyron did Prescott Hill demonstration its ability to turn around the corner. F40 wouldn't stand a chance.
Dude, putting a Civic engine in that Lotus STILL would not even come close to the Veyron. You're talking about a freaking 16 cylinder with FOUR TURBOS!! FOUR!!
como soys tan inscoscientes de comparar al grah bugatti veyron 16.4 w16 con un lotus elise de 166 caballos que estais como una cabra 1000 caballos de veyron es mucho pa el pobre lotus
Look it is plain simple the lotus elise is really not considered a supercar to me. I mean come on an engine as weak as that is just not good enough for the supercar class let alone the bugatti veyron with 1000 plus horepower. Almost every other supercar you know produces at least 400 or 500 and up horsepower so the lotus is really not that good compared to the others unless there is a supra or skyline engine swap.....
More importantly, I can wreck an Elise EVERY MONTH and drive the shit out of it on a track EVERY DAY for cheaper than a Veyron and be 1000x the driver of a Veyron owner. Dumb expensive fast car for a track. Just because your fast doesn't mean your a racecar!
The Lotus Elise is a road car capable of performing on the track. So what, same thing can be said. I PROMISE YOU a lotus elise is WAY faster than a Veyron around Los Angeles. It is smaller and can park. Whats more, you don't have a crowd stopping you at every light.
if both drivers ment what they were doing that elise would stand a chance, the bugatti handles aswel as being properly fast, yeah the elise handle well but the veyron would eat it
This commenter knows absolutely zip about cars with that statement.Civics are garbage, cheap garbage. The engines couldnt hold a candle to either of those engines.
Actually you are expressing your complete ignorance right now. An F1 car, without downforce, and with a wide gearbox would break 330-340mph. Thats not even the same UNIVERSE of pwr/wght ratio.
Clearly you dont remove all downforce. Thats actually IMPOSSIBLE with a formula one. The body alone creates downforce, but you use minimal downforce to maintain traction and the highest possible terminal velocity. Get a clue.
Hence the use of front and rear wing, you forgot the tires are completely exposed to the air reducing the grip especially on the front when going at high speed. A very bad setting on both wing can cause the Formula One flying so it can haappen.
LOL all you guys that think the veyron driver is a bad driver! He probably knows the guy in the elise and wants a video of his car! He is deliberately taking the corners slow to let the elise catch up then hammering for the camera...
People need to shut up with this bullshit... this gay elise crapshit could never beat the veyron if both drivers were F1 drivers and had a $1 million dollar prize. The Veyron driver was just scared of hitting that million dollar baby =D
wow this is awesome! i think the elise did amazing because it could take the corners very well with very good speed and handling. if there was a course with a bunch of turns and bends the elise would take the veyron down. but in a drag strip the veyron would destroy the elise. this is very good video! worth watching!
to everyone who is giving the lotus shit, the lotus elise is one of the lightest cars ever made (at about 1700, correct if im wrong) and also it costs about 50-60k whereas the bugatti costs 1.1 million. per dollar the lotus is one of the fastest stock cars on the track or the street. (the evo/sti is still the best bang for buck)
power isn't everything but the elise was catching the Veyron because the V driver had little clue about driving the quickest route thru corners. in the last corner the driver in fact takes the slowest line possible thru the corner. regardless of it's extra weight the veyron should slaughter the elise in all but the tightest corners. i've got an elise. they're brilliant but its 200hp/tonne power-to-weight ratio is no match for 529 hp/tonne in a car with great suspension and excellent chassis.
this is a great example that power isn't everything. this lotus was actually faster in the corners than the veryon. the veryon is the 8th wonder of the world but don't knock an elise or exige. they are one of or the best handling car ever made for the road stock. put some work into these cars and they will pass the veryon no problem on a tight course. he was probably afraid to wreck the veryon
damm good show from the lotus[built by real ale drinkers in a shed]veyron is a stunning piece of kit but to me driving that lotus is what drivings all about..
That isn't fair at all, but I'd rather have the Elise. It's about $1.35 million less, and gets 4 or 5 times the gas mileage. I like their design much better, too. Too bad I don't have $46,000 to spend on a car :)
Its far from the most unbelievable car in the world. Well it is a bit unbelievable that you pay 1.5 million and get sub par performance for the price.
Got to laugh at all these video comments. On every one about a fast expensive car you get the knobs who say 'he cant drive etc' All these idiots probably drive heaps and probably dont go faster than 30mph.Get a life, and win the lottery. Once you have a car worth half a million, lets see what you do!!!! Knobs
As for only 1000HP don't you think there is plenty more available!! The engine also produces massive, massive useable torque you don't get that from a maclaren. Anyone could have taken an 8L engine stuck 4 turbos on it and got silly HP that not what the veyron is about. James mays experience of doing 250mph says it al
Lotus = skillful driver veyron = lazy fat fuck who can't challnge him self.

Its stock, even though it is a great car and it is worth 1 million dollars that doesn't change the fact that it is stock and there is always something you can do to better a stock car.
carboncode 3 years ago
are you retarded, ya you can do things to "stock" cars if you want them to break down in the near future, or take away from some other area of performance. Do you not think a car costing over a mill has already had every possibly modification done to it? "hey i "tune" honda civics so how about you let me blow up your veyron"

Actually there is nothing more you can do. It's already jam packed with so many things it's impossible. 10 radiators, 4 turbochargers, the list goes on...
Sursion7 2 years ago
Its not impossible at all. The car is built for reliability too remember so you could in theory remap the ecu, turn boost up ect and get more power but it would not likely be very reliable anymore.

yeah man i agree, if you throw a k&n induction kit on the veyron and put on a few stickers , you'll get 1200bhp no bother...

They are both quite good. As most exoics require a totaly service every, 30k or so? But what my point is, the Vettes only 70k. A bit different than 1.5 million. If you put even another 200k into the Vette, incuding interior and engine work ect it would be better than the Veryon on every account.

top speed the veyron will beat anything out there, of course, there are cars that can get from 0-100 faster than the veyron: veyron is a road car designed to have the highest top speed anyone could imagine. i still wouldnt get it... performance and handling, i'd love to see veyron beat a porsche 911 GT3 around a track.

The Veyron is too heavy to be considered a race car. On a small windy track, I'd back an Ariel Atom to own it. On a long track where top speed matters, I'm backing an Ultima GTR or Cerbera Speed 12, everytime, as they are SO much lighter, and with the tyres fully harnessed up to the road, the veyron's 4 wheel drive will be negated (all it is good for is 0-60 times, between 100 and 200, the Hennessey Viper outdoes it, and that weighs a LOT more than the Ultima or TVR).
Nickthebassist01 4 years ago
Ultima GTR is a kit car. TVR is basically a race car and Hennessey Viper is a tuner. The Veyron was never designed to be a race car anyway. End of story.
Tippotipo 4 years ago
Why does it matter the Ultima GTR is a kit car? It's an amazing car, and will out accelerate a Veyron to 200mph. It'd destroy it on virtually all fronts, except top speed.

A TVR is basically a race car? You said above that the VEYRON is a road car??? SIR YOU ARE A DUMBASS. "End of story."

That version of TVR Speed 12 was intended for racing given the configuration and the dashboard. I just forgot to mention which version. Instead of correcting about the unintended mistake I made, you talk trash. Thanks for nothing.

"The Veyron was never designed to be a race car, it is a road car capable of performing on track." YOUR WORDS and yet you would have the balls to say a TVR is a race car in the face of that. Man shut the fuck up with you twisted meaningless opinions to make you sound right. You are a dumbass.

Wrong, the Veyron got acceleration/braking and cornering covered against the F40. Majority of testers were surprised by its handling even though it is heavy and not designed for the racing track. Recently, the Veyron did Prescott Hill demonstration its ability to turn around the corner. F40 wouldn't stand a chance.

Look it is plain simple the lotus elise is really not considered a supercar to me. I mean come on an engine as weak as that is just not good enough for the supercar class let alone the bugatti veyron with 1000 plus horepower. Almost every other supercar you know produces at least 400 or 500 and up horsepower so the lotus is really not that good compared to the others unless there is a supra or skyline engine swap.....

More importantly, I can wreck an Elise EVERY MONTH and drive the shit out of it on a track EVERY DAY for cheaper than a Veyron and be 1000x the driver of a Veyron owner. Dumb expensive fast car for a track. Just because your fast doesn't mean your a racecar!

Who cares about the price? The Veyron was never designed to be a race car, it is a road car capable of performing on track.

The Lotus Elise is a road car capable of performing on the track. So what, same thing can be said. I PROMISE YOU a lotus elise is WAY faster than a Veyron around Los Angeles. It is smaller and can park. Whats more, you don't have a crowd stopping you at every light.

Actually you are expressing your complete ignorance right now. An F1 car, without downforce, and with a wide gearbox would break 330-340mph. Thats not even the same UNIVERSE of pwr/wght ratio.

Without downforce, the Formula One will fly before it even reaches 250 mph.
Tippotipo 4 years ago
Clearly you dont remove all downforce. Thats actually IMPOSSIBLE with a formula one. The body alone creates downforce, but you use minimal downforce to maintain traction and the highest possible terminal velocity. Get a clue.
ProductionDesignrMAX 4 years ago
Hence the use of front and rear wing, you forgot the tires are completely exposed to the air reducing the grip especially on the front when going at high speed. A very bad setting on both wing can cause the Formula One flying so it can haappen.

wow this is awesome! i think the elise did amazing because it could take the corners very well with very good speed and handling. if there was a course with a bunch of turns and bends the elise would take the veyron down. but in a drag strip the veyron would destroy the elise. this is very good video! worth watching!

to everyone who is giving the lotus shit, the lotus elise is one of the lightest cars ever made (at about 1700, correct if im wrong) and also it costs about 50-60k whereas the bugatti costs 1.1 million. per dollar the lotus is one of the fastest stock cars on the track or the street. (the evo/sti is still the best bang for buck)

beas08 4 years ago
power isn't everything but the elise was catching the Veyron because the V driver had little clue about driving the quickest route thru corners. in the last corner the driver in fact takes the slowest line possible thru the corner. regardless of it's extra weight the veyron should slaughter the elise in all but the tightest corners. i've got an elise. they're brilliant but its 200hp/tonne power-to-weight ratio is no match for 529 hp/tonne in a car with great suspension and excellent chassis.
Tamaramajamma 4 years ago
this is a great example that power isn't everything. this lotus was actually faster in the corners than the veryon. the veryon is the 8th wonder of the world but don't knock an elise or exige. they are one of or the best handling car ever made for the road stock. put some work into these cars and they will pass the veryon no problem on a tight course. he was probably afraid to wreck the veryon

As for only 1000HP don't you think there is plenty more available!! The engine also produces massive, massive useable torque you don't get that from a maclaren. Anyone could have taken an 8L engine stuck 4 turbos on it and got silly HP that not what the veyron is about. James mays experience of doing 250mph says it al
