Captain Slow is given the task of driving the Bugatti veyron at it’s top speed – 253 miles per hour. Can the slowest driver in Britain do it? Find out in this free auto video from BBC Worldwide and Top Gear.
Not as fast as I thought..Thinking a bike thats only 500 something pounds with that kind of motor in it…I was thinking that bike could hit 300 or more.. You can take a regular bike and move that fast..If its tuned right..
@inkomwooshsnop1 maybe not..Nobody talks about the ssc..You hardly hear anything about it..Based on what i did read about that car though,the veyron can catch it.
The Aero is however a drivers car and has a manual gear box. It can be driven on regular roads and handles “like its on rails” according to Businessweek magazine.
I have been on plenty of car message boards and review sites with commentors that have driven both. The Aero handles better than a Bugatti and is considered more comfortable even over rough surfaces. Just look it up yourself. It also accelerates faster from 0-60.

15 min dude…
you would burn Boeing 747’s tires after 15 mins on those speeds and fuel 12
If it was a bitch to turn, then why it bested other cars such as Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo and ranked under 1:20 on Top Gear track? Veyron is not a track car, never claimed to be one, it is a grand tourer which is even more impressive.

Top Gear did run white Veyron( belonging to a private owner) on their track track and the video is available on youtube. Type Veyron Zonda F Roadster.

that was @89powerup

Would seem that way, fact is:
Veyron: 407.9 km/h (253.5 mph)
y2k: 402.3 km/h (250.0 mph)
Solid effot for a motorcycle if you ask me.
Also, take off would be allot quicker on y2k seeing that it ways allot less.
y2k: 208.7 kg
Veyron: 1888 kg

I see this video about the sixth time, but kept me with him strongly beating heart, and I have goosebumps

@ tippotipo, it managed that becuase of it’s redonculous acceleration. Besides, it didn’t run the Top Gear Track, atleast I haven’t seen it.

the fastest production car is the ssc ultimate aero.

No, if you listen carefully and watch his lip movements, he clearly says fifty, not fifteen.

“getting towards my top speed, that means my tires will last only about 50 minutes. But its ok! my fuel runs out in 12.” 6:34
