maybe on the launch.

but top end no chance at all. That thing is RESTRICTED at 265MPH. They cost 4 million to build and they are just over a million to buy. At full throttle the tank can be emptied in 12 minutes. The greatest supercar ever built without question in my eyes.

I can't see the video.....but I assume it's the bugatti veyron. Yeah...1001hp, w16 engine with 4 turbo chargers and AWD....

with the same drivers the 14 will out 60 it and out 1/4 by a full second.....any more than that...the 14 is history.

A better question is does anyone here have a chance of riding in one? I would think ... no.

I have ridden in one. 3 times actually....never really got passed 100 miles an hour...but it only took a few seconds to get there. On a typical freeway on ramp you are @ ~100 by the time you hit the freeway.

Both (ZX14 & Bugatti Veyron) stock are supposedly 0-60 mph in 2.5 secs...would like to see the stats on 0-180 mph...

Yah. There's the ultimate challenge! Park your ride in a safe place in a wal mart parking lot!

Where we live we have a better chance than most to seen one on the freeway. Lambos are commonplace on the freeway now....

""""They cost 4 million to build and they are just over a million to buy.""""

I'm still trying to figure out how this works ??? Is that backwards or is this a really poor business model ?

They cost 1.3 million to buy and cost 1 million to build. VW wants to be out there....they aren't caring about making a bundle....they just wanted to show up all the assholes that said they couldn't do it.

A lambo on the other hand costs $125k to build and thet sell for $250k.....
