As a former speed demon, every 10mph above 130 is a whole new game. Everything is different at those speeds. My maximum was almost 190mph and I promise you I never want to do it again! I remember because when I got off that bike I said out loud "I never want to do that again!" Going that fast completely cured me of my penchant for speed. It's strange...everything is happening so fast yet so slow at the same time. It's hard to describe. When I slowed to 70mph the reality of what I had just done for the last 25 miles set in and it scared the piss out of me. It was like I was a drug addict who finally realized that it was time to stop this behavior or I would hurt someone else or die. I'm very fortunate neither happened. I don't want to hurt anyone. I just had a speed problem. I am now fully cured.

Even if there are (as of 2014) a few faster top-speed "production" cars (Hennessey Venom, probably the Koenigsegg One:1), when you consider the supercars the Veyron SS beat around the Top Gear test track, *and* the top speed of the car, and that it is still a very comfortable, luxurious GT car, the Veyron is still in a class all its own. Only 5 cars have gone faster around the Top Gear test track than the Bugatti Super Sport: the Pagani Huayra, BAC Mono, Ariel Atom 500 V8, McLaren MP4-12C, and Lamborghini Aventador -- much lighter cars all, with better power to weight ratios. To give perspective, the Veyron SS was almost *three seconds* faster than the agile Ferrari 458 Italia and the Porsche 997 GT2! I'm looking forward to seeing what the purportedly redesigned 2015/16 Veyron will be like -- even more horsepower than the SS? 1500 hp? Lighter? Even better aerodynamics? Whatever the case, it will still be in a class all its own. (Yes, I'm a Bugatti "fan" but I love all the great supercars -- love Lambos, and Ferraris, the mighty McLarens, the Porsche 918 Spyder, and am a huge fan of the cars of Christian Koenigsegg. His new One:1 is mind-blowing!) But the Bugatti SS deserves respect as one of the greatest achievements in automobile engineering.

You can't even count those 5 cars though because they had different drivers behind the wheel. The new stig is noticeably faster than the old one. Frankly it's insane how much time the new stig is able to shave off laps at the top gear track. He must be a former F1 driver instead of just a touring car driving like Ben Collins because the lap times have proven he's miles better than ben Perfect example is the Mp4-12c. At many tracks, the 458 italia is FASTER. Yet at the top gear track, the Mp4 was over 3 seconds faster. How can that be? Clearly it's because the 458 was driven by Ben Collins, and the MP4 was driven by the super stig
@Tippotipo9 жыл бұрын
Hugo Stiglitz I remember Ben Collins also mentioned Bugatti Veyron SS lap time could be faster on Top Gear track. Imagine the new Stig repeating it with a near two tons high speed luxury GT. It is no wonder Veyron is still the benchmark hard to duplicate by the competition without compromise.
@terrymadill9 жыл бұрын
Hugo Stiglitz Well and the Top Gear track is where McLaren tests their vehicles so the Mp4-12c is somewhat at home on that track. Completely agree though that the new Stig is much better than Ben.

I will correct you a little bit. They have made THE MOST ICONIC cars ever built. I don't care about Hennessey or anything else that might be slightly faster, these hypercars are the epitome of speed and will forever be the best. And they are too heavy as well.
