More like 1,700Hp..

Physics say 1,350Hp is enough??

Took the words from my mouth. No way 350 more hp bumped it up another 50mph...

According to this:

You'd need 1825hp to achieve that top speed

The current Veyron has an electronically limited top speed... 253 is the Max speed, those Michelin's would handle...

253 mph - The electronically limited top speed.

257 mph - The theoretical top speed, on a perfect run.

This is just further proof that physics is fake. The first example was the thread(now gone

) about the 2250 mile range hybrid. Both are almost equally believable.

They're buggin'! How much distance would that car need to reach 300 even if their claim was true? Top Fuel Dragsters hit over 300 in 1/4 mile with anywhere from 7,500 - 10,000 HP. I don't know the exact equations but I would guess that Veyron would need at least 3,000HP to realistically reach 300mph on the VW or similar track.

~1300 hp is not enough to make it to 300 mph..

Thats BS

I see it's still as ugly as ever - it better be that fast to make everything blurry

Bents · Fri, Jun-18-2010, 05:24:44 PM

But how fast can it get to the bottom of a lake?

With a pelican and a chrome M3?

This is Bull. The projected top speed is 425 Km/H. I have my sources..
