Video – Bugatti Veyron Speed Test
If you haven’t already seen this video, then you’re in for a treat as the UK’s Top Gear program tests the top speed of the 16 cylinder, 1001 horsepower Bugatti Veyron on a five and a half mile straight.
The magic number they are looking for is an astounding 253mph/407km/h, which, out of interest, is faster than an F1 racing car and is the equivalent of covering the entire length of a full football pitch every second – so fast that the Veyron’s tyres will only last for fifty minutes.
Does the Veyron deliver? What the video below to find out.
