A friend of mine was telling me tonight apparently these things have 2 keys, first one gives the car certain settings top speed of like 320 i think, and the second key is like the MASTER KEY, please insert here for top speed of 400 + km/h pretty sick hey,

Think about that, owning a car that has 2 keys the first one, the less exctiing one only lets the driver top out at over 300 km/h, this car is truly f**king insane,

I rather have a car that don't need a key, like the new Lexus IS250, BMW E90 325 model & up (crappy E90 320i 4cycl crap pack still need to insert a key), and some Audi like the new A6 & A8.

Just rock up to your car, jump in, press a button, & off you go, no inserting anything or twisting/turing anything, now thats class. 8)

BTW cars use to have two keys, one for the ignition & one for the fuel cap. :wink:

but Shue you still need your key to turn to ignition, all the one i mention don't.

The key can be in your pocket or handbag, & the car will automaticly recognise you, & let you start the car.

Beautiful car but i would rather have a Hennessey Venom Twin Turbo SRT Coupe, at a less than a 1/7th of the price. Check it out

And sort of looks likes an FTO on steroids

I always thought the FTO looked like a baby viper

Generally the people who can afford to buy a Veyron would already have one or two of those Vipers in the garage as play things. :lol:

There are many many cars I would take over the Veyron first.

It's only gimmick is it's speed, and that will soon be taken away by something faster.

maybe something would come along that is faster but with a ride that quick i dont think you'd be too worried about coming across anything quicker!!

i hate these stupid april 1st jokes... just put the wings back on and give it back to concord or whatever and stop jerking us around aye....













:lol: but seriously, i watch top gear on channel 2? i think it is, and becasue they are airing like 2004 shows you hear them bagging the crap out of the veryon all the time, coz of course back then no one believe VW would actually do it, it was all just a pipe dream. LMAO.

you reckon??? The Veyron has set the bar pretty high!!! Also its not commercially viable for a car manufacture to build a car like this! VW used this as a "Engineering Exercise"! Its rumoured the Veyron costs VW over 5 million per car. They are actually selling them at a loss!
