Meh…

Why? so they can loose even more money per car? I wonder if any Veyron owner is even remotely aware of this website.

I am sure Lydia was prettier than that thing.

I would tend to agree. How about making something in the half-million Euro range. You know something the pay the bills.

That turbo four “baby Veyron” a couple years ago was a good idea too. About $70K-$80K.

The Veyron was, I thought, meant to say “WE’RE BACK!”

If nothing else how about fitting into the the Ferrari and Lamborghini crowd in terms of price and product.

this car is amazing its the batmobile.

I wonder if any veyron owner knows there is a world othere than the little one they live in.
here is an idea, make one that can beat a 475 hp gt-r around a racetrack.

Its about time mine definately needs an upgrade. Once you get used to 1000 hp its not enough, it could certainly use the extra HP..

If this thing gets made be ready to see some ‘Gring times shattered all over the place. Just looking at this design from the side and the back all I can see is LeMans. The low sweeping design is almost identical to any LeMans car so I think we all know where the overall design shape spawned from. This thing is going to smash! End of story.

I’m gonna say that Bugatti owners don’t realize there’s a world beyond the one they live in. It’s like we’re cattle that just graze along in the valleys. They just look down and laugh, and occasionally drive by in their Veyron.

HAHA good one Swerve, CTS I guarantee you that this thing will completely eat the GT-R alive.

LOL @ SwerveEarly! Heck, I’ve got 7 vehicles and all together they don’t total 1000hp.

I love it. I would love to see Bugatti establish itself as THE highest performance brand in the world.

Guess what? If I’m spending 2 million + on a car I want every ameninity under the sun. And who in their right mind would pay that much for a track car?

Needs a diesel upgrade with more torque and less complexity.

Is that the car that will drive itself and provide operator with blow job along the way? After all it is almost 4,000,000 USD

LLN, get rid of these Workopolis ads. They’re bull****.

LOL. Why spend 2.5 million Euros on a “no-thrills track machine” (hello, editor)? For that price, it better come with EXTRA thrills, and even some frills. I ain’t paying 2.5 extra-large for a Lotus Elise with 1175 hp: I want leather, and all the latest electronics, and…a pony.

Because 0-60 in 3 seconds is too slow…

I’m not impressed by stuff like this anymore. That $2500 beater by Tata is more interesting.

Pfft…what a waste. Let me guess, this one needs 20 radiators to cool the ugly thing and a perimeter needs to be setup around the vehicle every time it’s started so people don’t get third-degree burns. Pathetic.

Much as I like horsepower, this is too much. How would you keep the damn thing on the ground?

SwerveEarly: good one.

johnnycanuck: “LOL @ SwerveEarly! Heck, I’ve got 7 vehicles and all together they don’t total 1000hp.”

all 7 cars I’ve owned together add up to about 966hp.

autonut: “Is that the car that will drive itself and provide operator with blow job along the way?”

It should also read the day’s newspaper and serve you breakfast.

I think Bugatti likes pushing the envelope. The Veyron was a design exercise to develop the ultimate GT. Whether you think this is a waste or not, I for one am glad they built it. I love to see what is possible. I mean 250+ mph in a roadgoing vehicle that your grandmother could drive? The thing is an engineering masterpiece.

As far as the Lydia, we’ll see. If it is as dominating on the track as the Veyron is on the road then all other track day cars are now second class citizens.

LOL However, that road head feature mentioned before would be a good option to add.

“Why? so they can loose even more money per car?”

Lose not loose. And I gotta agree with 928dreamer. Sure this is outrageous, expensive, insane, but damn it’s impressive.

I remember seeing a video of the new M3 vs a Veyron. Holy ****. Makes you realize just how insane the Veyron is.

I’m sorry but I like this NEW one better than the current one.

well, why not… königsegg and the like sell their cars, too, and that for quite some time so far… the sheiks will buy it… i doubt there will be too many of them on the tracks, but hey… thats the case with almost any supercar…
(pityfully)

Ok…A super-supercar, or a hypercar?! Why not..?

LLN Amateurs..

This story is stolen from the german site http://www.auto-motor-sport.de, where anybody can read the engine for this car would be a V12 and not the Bugatti W16..

I couldn’t pull up the German site, but if El Aleman’s right, then what a waste developing a V12 and not milking the W16.

But if LLN’s right, then, Bugatti might actually not lose money on this car. Bugatti always said that the Veyron’s W16 was capable of much more than 1001 hp, so the Lydia engine is probably not tweaked by much.

Designing a new body is probably expensive, but let’s face it, as part of VAG, Bugatti’s people have the Bentley Speed8 and Audi R8/R10 know-how to tap into for what one person rightly said was essentially a street-legal Le Mans racer. There is a market for hyper exotics, including those cars that don’t offer much beyond the more plebian variants (think, Reventon vs. LP640).

Now if Bugatti’s got the powerplant, the materials sciences, and the aero package without much fuss, and then more than doubles the Veyron’s price…. might not be that dumb a move afterall….

I suppose they don’t want the W16 because it ways half a ton.. Other than that I couldn’t think of a reason not to put it in here..

Here’s the link again..

This looks much like an Audi Le Mans racer with a top. Or it might be a Bentley Le Mans racer with styling differences. A 900 kg car like that needs only about 700 hp to reach 250 mph though.

I can’t imagine Bugatti going the route with even more than the 1000+ hp already on tap, even though the FXX, the MC12 Corsa and the Zonda R prove there’s room for trackday specials.

CAR Magazine reports Bugatti will use its powertrain for a limousine, twinned with Bentley. I think that’s more likely.

However, a new report finds that Bugatti has chosen to go another direction.
.
.
what direction, a car that makes money when they sell it?

What if they made a car where the seats became moist as you slid into them. They could call it ‘Project Labia’.

I still find the phrase “high-performance Veyron” amusing…

when did they make the “low-performance Veyron?” and where can I get one?

Bugatti should focus on actually making a profit for the first time..

Someone explain to me …
What the hell is a “4-door coupe”?

Are you bloody ****tin’ me? A car with 4 doors is a called a Sedan … a hatchback is also refered to as 3-doors, and a couple has TWO doors …

Or correct me if I’m wrong…

The majority of comments in this thread are all the proof you’d ever need to establish that no one actually reads these articles.

Oh, and those sketches look ridiculous.

That looks a lot more like a LeMans prototype than a streetcar…

Ever heard of an RX-8, or an Ion Quadcoupe? Those are 4dr coupes.
