That rediculous....it has sooo much hp!!!













































I WANT ONE!!!!!!

 

O crap, I forgot to list the price

1.3 million dollars

 

screw the car I just want the engine

 

...welcome to last year ya homo...lol jk. Its a sweet ride. Look for the vid on streetfire.net

 

I'd rather have 13 100k Boss 302's......LOL But that's me.....



I bet it's a blast to drive!!!

 

seriously......olllld news

 

Well it was a brand new article in Motor Trend so it wasn't technically old news, more of an update

 

The hp meter in it is prety cool, but it really doesnt have to be functional. It can just be based on the car's rpm and it'd display a certain hp, it's not like a dyno or anything

 

wooooo baby

 

The engine puts out 2k HP, but because of cooling and drivetrain loss the @ the ground HP amount is only 1001HP.

The US versions come detuned with only 987AWHP.

Bugatti wont even be breaking even in making these. The tires in the back are insanely large, like 1.5' wide or something like that, on a 22" rim.

I've been researching this car for a while now, its sooo nice. If i had 1.5 mil to drop it would be on one of these.

 

I think im gonna run over to the local dealer and pick one up later today.

 

Repost.....

 

Yea it only has like 987 HP, but thats where you supposedly use the second key to max out the power.

 

Neg.

The european versions will have 1001HP max from factory and a better tune.

The US versions will only top out at 987HP, even with the second key, as they are required to be detuned for some reason in order to sell here.

 

Popular Science had a kickass write up on it in either the December '05 or Jan '06 issues. The US version is detuned for emissions, of course. The car has something like 20 heat exchangers. The HP meter uses the fuel and air metering to determine how much power is being derived from the combustion happening at that moment. Even without the second key I think the car will still do 180ish. Hell, keep the second key and I'll be happy with 180, but no one on the street is gonna beat me to it.
