Wow! Awesome.
I wonder how many more versions of the Veyron there will be before it's finally retired! Seems to be going the way of the Zonda... one last one, one last one......... |

I remember James May test driving the Bugatti Veyron hotted up version that was trying to reach 430kph instead of the "normal" 400kph of the "standard" Veyron.
He was a bit worried because the tyre guys said that the tyres, at 400kph, would last only about 10 minutes. They asked how long they'd last at 430, and they huddled for a while, then shrugged and said "Who knows?".

I hate it when I stop at the lights in my regular Veyron and I look across and see a SuperVeyron next to me

i'll take a koenigsegg agera r. ok, sure, this current veyron looks to have raised the bar slightly higher, but not sure why the veyron gets so much publicity. the koenigsegg has had its measure for quite some time now.
nothing gets close to the agera R in the 0-300 stakes. as far as supercars go, its acceleration from 200 - 300 is unrivalled. |

I wonder how long it'll take to get to 500km/h? I mean it seems pointless, but kudos to anyone who makes a production car go that fast.

Guess I just like how it appears more sleaker now with those light treatments.

I like the styling refresh but it's still got nothing on the Aventador in the styling department.

Better then the standard one..but it still looks a bit like a smashed christmas beetle.
Much prefer the 20 year old McLaren F1!

Are the images a reliable indication of the new styling?

But then again I didn't like the Territory at first, now I think it's the sexiest SUV out there.
