Ruf Man, damn impressive video. That machine is hella quick..

 

I have extremely fond memories of driving this car, and being driven in it. My buddy and i went so fast in this car that we managed to make the speedo reset and go back down to 0 and start climbing again.

I dont remember it being superlight weight though, it did have some CF parts

very best

Matter of fact i snapped this pic on the evening we went so fast..thats about 207mph,

 

are the gears redone ?

 

Yes this car has the longer 6th,

all the best

The car in the video has mph as the standard dial display on the speedo. The blue car has kmh. Perhaps it is a different car in video?

 

I believe the car had the speedo changed for the US market

(excellent point though)

Adam,

Do you still think there was something wrong with the speedometer?

 

Yeah sure, the other day i was comparing the speedo shots from my car in this video:

My car from 194 to 208 mph takes 25.2 seconds.

The blue car in the video posted on this thread takes 5.3 seconds.

I know its unscientific, but its interesting to compare and i cant understand the difference for this- i would suspect the blue car would take, in direct comparison to mine probably 22.5 s (remember it does have the longer 6th which does affect acceleration, whilst ours is the shorter 6th)

I have had quite a bit of experience of the blue beast, it certainly doesnt have the quoted 590(its a strong un) and i think it is an awesome machine. However to be 20 seconds faster at those speeds is Veyron fast.

Thats just my opinion based on my experiences- its all fun though

all the best
adam

 

Thank you.

 

200+ in the dark... wow. Nice car Adam!

 

No problem

 

Yeaaaaaaaaaah that's fast...pure adrenaline!!
Thanks friend

 

I have driven that car. But not that fast
