Wheres the Veyron?


Looking at the commercials I never saw a Bugatti Veyron. How can they call this a supercar movie without including the fastest car in the world?

reply

because its not the best looking car and probally because the Producer does not own one.

Then his collection sucks. Veyrons arent exactly hard to come by, they are really popular in europe and quite a few americans have one as well. Theres been way more Veyron sightings on the road than Mclaren F1's or Enzo's. If they are trying to make a movie about supercar racing then not having a Veyron is stupid, Veyrons are in a completely different league than even the F1. Its like having a ricer movie without a Skyline.

Plus it looks better than the Enzo, that is one ugly car.

yea considering they cost nearly a million to buy

so why ahve the fastest car in the world in a movie about supper cars......it would be daft really, considering it would woop anything to come up against it. so for me its a good idea to keep it out of films and keep it in the league its in...all on its own!!

i dont understand your point, 1st its a Veyron then its a skyline, make ya bloody mind up lol

The Veyron isn't a fast as every says. Top speed doesn't mean much considering, no I haven't seen the movie but, I doubt people are going 250+ lol. Also, it's not even the fastest production car. The Barabus (which runs for only 500k) is. Looks like a matchbox car blue enzo weird thing but w/e, it goes. If they can make a vette go 0-60 in 1.97in the year of 2002, im sure they could make these other cars 'catch up with your veyron god' Maybe they didn't put it in because of its reputation, its not really something exotic, it was built for the speed record and it got it (for the time being, not anymore as I've stated).

mollywhopped-You don't know what you're talking about.

First of all the Bugatti Veyron is not the fastest car in the world. It's the fastest production car in the world.

Second, yes the Veyron is hard to come by. Not only is it a 1.5mil car, but i think only a handful of them have been imported into the US. The global production will be kept to 300.

I do however agree that it's a way better looking car than the Enzo.

Yes I know that there are cars faster than a Veyron, like top fuel drag cars and other professional race cars. Im not that stupid. I meant as far as nonprofessional cars go that normal people can buy and use.

Being expensive doesnt mean hard to come by. There are a LOT of people that can easily afford a Veyron, $1.5 million isnt much at all when you consider some of the useless crap rich people buy for no apparent reason. Judging by this guys car collection then he should have been able to afford one too, especially if he found an Enzo disposable enough to crash. It should have been extremely easy for this producer to pick up a Veyron for a MOVIE, I doubt Bugatti would object and probably would have cut a deal with him. If Top Gear (tv show) can get their hands on a Veyron then why the hell cant a hollywood movie?

reply

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh thats hurts..really
go get a *beep* life
the Enzo is ugly?? WTF!!!!!! YOU are ugly, it's the best looking car in the world!!!

reply

IM sure they could have gotten one if they tried. they could have asked one of the private owners to let them use it if they wanted to

reply

maybe they had one lined up to be in the movie, then saw what happened to poor enzo

Personally, I'm a car enthusiast, and I wouldn't like to see a Veyron in the movie. I wouldn't want to see something so beautiful (better looking than the enzo), mounted with tons of cameras and scratched up by careless actors that don't give a rats ass. I would've liked to see more regular racing, such as with sports cars in the 30,000$-50,000 range. Such as the 350z, C6 Corvette, WRX STi, and the EVO. Any sane person watching this movie would realize that it is so not realistic. Racing 100k+ cars on the street would never happen unless you are retarded or as rich as Bill Gates. Also, I saw state troopers at the races. Yeah, like they are really going to condone racing at 150+mph even if its on a closed track, its not an SCCA sponsored event, its not safe (none of the cars I saw had a roll cage) and its just too risky. The movie was good, but super unrealistic.

reply

The saleen s7 twin turbo does 0-60 MPH in about 2.8-2.9 seconds (during the best of conditions), and the Bugatti does it in about 2.5 again during the perfect conditions.

reply

Yeah, despite the weight, the all-wheel drive and sheer 1001 horsepower and all the torque of the Bugatti Veyron makes it start amazingly. Have a look at it go:

It's just ridiculous.

A newer Koenigsegg like the CCX or the CCXR may well have a higher top speed, however, given they're 800 kg lighter and have 800 to 1000 horsepower, depending on the model and fuel. They have never got to do a full-speed run on a straight yet. Their record was set on a curve at Nardo. Last I read, they were going to run what I assume would be the CCX in the desert in America.

reply

The Veyron is not the fastest car in the world, the Ultimate Aero TT is faster, and the new Bristol has a top speed of 270 but electronically limited. And yes, the CCXR has 1000 HP and may well blow the Veyron out of the water:)

I have to admit the Enzo was the best looking though, and the end of the last race was clever!

reply

1060 something horsepower to be exact : )

reply

That what i was thinking of where was this car, she said at the end that the Koenigsegg CCX was the fastest car yet the Veyron is. The amount of errors in this movie is beyond anything i've seen + the skyline.. what a crap car it's not a super car at all.

reply

they may not have been able to get one. bugatti may not have allowed them to use it in the movie. they only allowed top gear to use it to prove that it does have a top speed of 253mph but bugatti wont let them use it to go around their track.

reply

other than a Veyron, why no TVR's? I'm sure they would have let them use the Speed 12 as a "car in the background"

reply

The owner does not own one, He must be broke by buying all the other cars haha. The Veyron is not really the fastest production car if you think about it, The Koenigsegg CCXR , They even showed the car in the end when Nat was racing her boyfriend in that Car he had the Enzo that car has like a 1018 HP V-8 Mid engine while he only has a 660 HP V-12 Engine, so she really kicked his ass in the end. I think it has the same Top Speed or faster than the Veyron saw it in a Top Gear Episode they proved it had a faster top speed or equivalent than the Veyron, Also unfortunately the Test Car was destroyed so it's not in production yet hopefully it will be really soon. Of course the Veyron is more luxurious and that's probably why it's more expensive than all these other Cars.

reply

ballazallday, carfe to offer any proof that at the time the Veyron was not the fastest production car? The CCXR certainly wasn't, they claimed excess of 250mph, but this was never actually verified. Sure, since then, other cars have come along and topped the Veyron's RECORDED top speed, but alas, no longer, fthe Supersport is now the worlds fastest production car, oh yes, and that's the Veyron Supersport.

reply

Personally, i'd have liked to see a Hennessy Venom Viper in this movie, but i doubt they would allow it to be seen in such an awful film.

Same reason they probably wouldn't have been able to get hold of the Sledgehammer.
