National Geographic - Bugatti Veryron
 
Cool NatGeo documentary thing about the making of the Veryron. Mods, feel free to merge this into a pre-existing thread if necessary.

Damn...

Some serious time has gone into the making of that car. The 10 radiators alone is incredible much more so seeing they are hand made

"it took them five years to figure it out...bolt two v8 engines together!"

:rofl:

I thought that tire testing rig was pretty cool.

I was surprised about the speed it is capable of doing without the limiter (to 253mph). I don't think I had read/seen anything about it being able to go that much faster, and being limited for stability reasons.

Anyway, pretty sweet.

I can't believe I just watched that whole thing! Very cool, but I still cringe when people say double U engine. It should be double V! You just don't say you have a U-8 engine

Stapler 04-16-2010 03:39 PM

isn't W a letter too?

knavinusa 04-16-2010 03:51 PM

:rofl:

Oh, and the documentary was awesome. Those fly-bys were amazing!

FiveLiterCheater 04-16-2010 05:23 PM

Awesome watch....Out of everything mentioned about the Veyron, I think the most remarkable aspect is the braking. Jeeeeeezz....it stops faster from 252mph to 0 than most cars do from 120-0...and it weighs a SHIT LOAD!

yohan81718 04-16-2010 06:07 PM

wow... i can't believe i actually watched the whole thing...

amazing piece of an art, for sure

I've always heard that it costs more to make this car than they charge for it. Now I know why. I have a newfound respect for this car.

I have watched several Ultimate Factory episodes where they made cars. I was impressed by the methods and procedures used to make cars like the ZR1, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce et. al. but I must say that those meticulous procedures don't hold a candle to what I just saw in these Veyron clips.

One word: Amazing.
