I drove a Bugatti Veyron this weekend.

You know someone at VW or are you a car journalist ? Cause I doubt this was a test drive for a potential customer. All their units were sold 4 years ago so someone at VW did you a favor even if you werent a customer. And did you drive it on a private track ? As I said before, I was under the impression that the Veyron hadnt been homologated yet in the US.

As I said, you must know the right people cuz VW even refused most journalist's request for a test drive except for guys like Jeremy Clarksson/Top Gear and others well known folks.

You = wrong.

You're still a good mod and a hell of a nice guy. But you're just plain wrong. There were numerous Veyrons in Fl this weekend, and many people test drove them. When I get home I'll get some pics up

I didn't get to stress it... but that doesn't make you any less wrong.

Haters (that's most of you) eat a dick. The pics are coming.

Velvett - the thread is going exactly as it should. Assnozzles are adding their own flavor. This thread is just a mirror of the people who post on it. Some of you are hilarious.

Mr dB - I got in and they made me sign a waiver. I didn't get to go over 60-65MPH, and I got to drive it for about 15 minutes around Amelia Island. It's very low to the ground, noisy, and it feels like it wants to run even in the lower gears. I didn't get to stress it in any meaningful way.

Still, interesting experience. I also drove a 2006 Maybach 57S.

No hatin homes...the veyron is my dream ride.

How was the maybach? I always imagine it as being a big fast boat that can't corner.

That thing drives like a space ship - it moves with such smoothness you don't realize you're touching land.

Well I have to see that cuz Bugatti barely had a dozen ready few months ago and they were picky, one very well known journalist here got his request denied cause they felt him as a threat for the car. Top Gear guys even admitted that in order to test drive it, they had to lick many boots...

Hey I'm not hating nor saying you're full of it. Your experience is most likely real but I'm sure you had this privilege cause you knew the right person. I doubt this was a free-for-all.

Top speed is 407km/h, Horsepower is almost 1000hp. Thing does the 0-60 in 2.8...

Cool !

Matt, next time let me know. I'll take a flight to FL and test drive one. No kidding

It's like a bike. That has so much power that they had to make it AWD. RWD only would have been a living hell.
