:eek: :eek:

A furbula vRS would nail it

Ha ha, drops the hammer (probably not all the way) and the Veyron is off, not bad for 2 tonnes of motor.

shows how well set up an elise can be!

The Veyron didn't look to be trying particularly hard, can't blame them though given what the car costs.

Got a fair bit of go to it!!

Braked pretty sharply as well.

Mid range, i reckon a chipped fabia would be quicker than the veyron!

Sweety, time to wake up now.

I've awoken!

Sweety, time to wake up now.

I think he could be right though Mil, what with all the midrange torque of the Fabia :goldfish:

My old BX 19RD would have beaten them both due to the low weight plastic body panels :p

Fook me that is fast on the straights, wonder if they actually needed to slow that much on the corners or not.

Autocar did a straight line test of Veyron in this weeks mag...I think 50-70mph takes about 2secs....what speed does everyone reckons is mid range?

Video....bl**dy hell that thing is quick...Else was hanging on well in corners but come the straights....whooooosh.

0-100 in just over 5 seconds - that is reasonably brisk

0-100 in just over 5 seconds - that is reasonably brisk

I reckon the Fabia could still out accelerate it "in gear" between 50.5 and 51.3mph or uphill

in 6th on a winters day with 4 adults wearing jumpers and a labrador in the boot.

but only if it has pikey mods 1 and 2 fitted

I agree, but not on the uphill bit*

*Unless the Fabia was fitted with Pikey mods 1, 2 & 3 - along with a far cough big jet engine complete with reheat

It could be quicker if there was turbo lag on the Veyron 'holding it back'.

You reckon the LPG conversion could count towards a 'big jet engine' (would make a good flamer kit at least )

doubt the veyron really suffers with turbo lag tbh, it has a fooking great big engine to get them there turbo's spinning

LOL! A 16 cylinder engine with a capacity of 7993cc, 922 lb/ft of torque and a power to weight ratio of 513.3 hp per ton suffering from lag?

The Veyron is the fastest production car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) with an estimated time of 2.5 seconds. It also reaches 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.3 and 16.7 seconds respectively. This makes the Veyron the quickest-accelerating production vehicle in history. It is not the most efficient however, using 40.4 L/100 km (5.82 mpg) in city driving and 24.1 L/100 km (10 mpg) in combined cycle. At full-throttle, it uses up to 100 L/100 km (2.35 mpg) - at full throttle, the Veyron would empty its 100 litre fuel tank in just 12 minutes.

Maybe you could have him whilst he refueled

Maybe you could have him whilst he refueled

thats the only chance any mear mortal would have against a Veyron

12 minutes at full chat, 5 minutes to refuel = still an average of 176mph :eek:

that was bloooody quick! Was funny when he said bye bye on the straight.

great video!!

how long reading the credit card bill though :eek:
