The Bugatti Veyron IS a real slug now!:D

After seeing the clip of the Veyron making a joke of an R1 sports bike I thought that the power to weight dominance of road registerable bikes over cars had been destroyed, but man was I wrong!
First some of the facts of the Veyorn to refresh our memory (from Wikipedia)

For $2,050,000Aus you get a two seater with the following;

1000 Hp 8L V8 engine pushing a 1888 kg car

0 to 400 kph in 55.0 seconds

Top Speed limited to 407.5 kph
Theoretical top speed of 414 kph

Fuel Consumption:
City driving 30L/100km
Highway Driving 16L/100km
Top Speed 115L/100km


Then theres the Acabion....

For $890KAus you get a two seater with the following;

700 Hp 1.3L engine pushing a 360 kg motorcycle/car hybrid

0 to 400 Kph in approximately 20 seconds

Top Speed limited to 470 Kph
Theoretical Top Speed of 650 Kph

Highway Driving (200 kph) 3.2L/100km

BUT!!!! The Veyron doesn't have training wheels

 

The Acabion aint a car

 

Man, that Bugatti is a weapon! That thing is off its head!!! God bless those who made it!!

 

I'd rather have a Veyron still.

Though, take the 1.3 litre engines, a 1500KG car, and use four of them, one for each wheel and I may trade in the Bugatti

 

Wikipedia can be incorrect

manufacturer states that it is a 16 cylinder w style motor. Further more.. You need to compare apples to apples. Its easy to compare apples to pears.. Indications of one vehicles capacity can be accentuated by baslining the pair, but in essence the Veyron is far more superior.

 

Hey dont get me wrong, Id rather have the Veyron myself, just interesting to see the motorcycle world fighting back
The Acabion might be able to go a lot faster, but it sure wont pull up anywhere near as fast and safely as the Veyron.
I could imagine trying to push the Veyron to its excess speeds, but Id probably back off long before reaching its top speed, but I think Id wimp out a lot sooner in the Acabion (400kph in that thing would be way more intense than in the car!)

As for the V8 thing, I think that was my stuff up (reading to many things at once while typing up a post ).
And apples and pears?, what about the Bugatti flogging the R1? that wasnt fair either but it happened

 

The R1 shouldnt had gotten cocky

 

has it dragged off a hyubusa yet???

love veyron tho ey... iono bout comparing it to that thing tho, and i imagien itd handle top speeds WAY better.
