Description: All told, this Bugatti has a top speed of 233 mph. Power comes from an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 that produces 1,001 horsepower. With ever increasing competition, there's word that Bugatti ...

The top speed of a 16.4 is actually limited to 253mph due only to the speed rating on the tires, and u need the second key to activate "top speed mode" i was lucky enough to sit on and hold the keys yo a 16.4 myself
DAMN! Thats all i can say after watching the vid. I have done a "drive-by" with my buddy on bikes, and when he flew by me at about 170mph, the feeling and the sound was incredible! Cant imagine a CAR flying by at over 215mph.
I thought that the top speed is 253, not 233. And the drive needs to activate the top speed feature (with the key, you activate it in the drivers door seam) that keeps the wing down so you can reach the top speed.
Of course Justin, what 1,000 engine is not going to be loud, mabe fit custom exhaust?
Love the jet sound! Not all cars need to be loud! I bet the noises whilst driving are insane
All the haters can hate and say the Koenigsegg and Hennessey are better cars. But the thing that makes the Veyron so great is how easy all that power is to handle.
I love that mini "thump" bang that it does in the flybys... Really shows the power instead of being obnoxiously loud.
For a 2 million dollar car you would think they had better video equipment. Awesome vid though.
@Eric. It does sound like a Jet. Minus the booming thrust on pass by. In sure it's sucking in as much air as a small turbine engine as well.
Doesn't matter who else builds a "faster" car, NONE of them will be that composed and refined @ 215mph and up. What a classy car.
1600 HP Veyron! That is something for Hennessy and Koiensegg to watch out for!
...on YouTube to see how much meticulous care and attention there is to the very finest detail ie. all screws in the Huayra are titanium and have the Pagani logo on them.
...each of those three cars took to develop. Which is why they're all so expensive, exclusive and covetable. The Venom is a great car and looks the business but all you have to do is check out the Koenigsegg or Pagani or Bugatti documentaries...
@ Tyler. Hennessey Venom may be faster than a Veyron, Huayra and an Agera but it's hardly in the same league as those guys. It was built purely to go fast and that's it. Not hating on the car or it's capabilities, but look at how many years...
Just wait until SSC puts a W16 in their cars (if they will), that 290 mph Bugatti would be in the rearview mirror!!
Lets just say this. Koenigsegg is leaps and bounds better. They can make a car just has fast with half the engine and half the turbos. And IMO they also make a much better looking car!!!
I remember quite clearly seeing that Bugatti won't try to take the record back once the Agera R/ Venom/ whatever else it may be takes the record.
Veyron 16.4 hits 233 mph without the speed key in the door. Put that key in, and you loose the spoiler, and lots of front surface area, and hight, and you can hit 252, not a typo, it protects the £20,000 tires.
Ok dumbasses hp increses but they could also lower drag coefficents ... Bugatti is like a brick n heavy also noo the older ones dintgo 233 they all went 254 n the ss was the faster one inles ir talkin about the 110 wich doesnt look like this
Redge, air resistance increases exponentially with speed so you'd probably need at least twice that much power to get to 290. But I'm pretty sure I remember reading that Bugatti said they wouldn't try to reclaim the record once they lose it anyway.
@daniel Ah ok but it possible for them to do 290 because with 200hp they won almost 30km/h (27 exactly) they just have to find a way to get power back from the heat that spills 2000hp on the 3000hp possible ;)
@redge, it's a typo, they replaced the 5 with a three. What is odd to me is that they say there might be a 290 mph one in the works. This doesn't really seem possible because they needed to add 200 hp just to make it go 10 mph faster (air resistance increases exponentially) It doesn't really seem feasible that they could get one to 290 mph.
No this is one of the earlier bugattis that had a top speed of 233 it's correct
Its probably a typo, anyway I just love how this is so smooth and calm at speeds like that; really shows its Bugatti identity.
Why a top speed of 233mph? It's impossible every Veyron does 254 It's certified by every test
Captain slow went faster than 218...
hahaha ok, I'll spare you this time! but yes, this is a normal Veyron. If "normal" is the right word for that!
Carbuzz finally realizing they don't know what car it is...jk
Haha carbuzz
lol oh carbuzz...
Haha the last sentence is the best, we love you CB!
Ahah (if we're wrong, please be kind in the comments and not crucify us). Ok, I guess we can let you guys at carbuzz live one more day. And yes u guys are correct, this isn't a super sport lol
It's a 16.4 Veyron with Pur Sang wheels. Great colour combination as well.
