Is it safe to assume now that Auto Art will not deliver on the proposed Bugattin Veyron that we have been waiting for? :mad:

A bit offtopic, but does anyone know when the new Ferrari 430 Monza in 1:18 will be released by Mattel?

Ah, yes, but...

In 1999 Mercedes Benz unveiled the "Vision SLR" and said that the car would be in build by 2003, which it was.

They said it would have a 550bhp engine, do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and do 199mph.

It has 626bhp, does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and 208mph.

Above and beyond.

In 2000 Bugatti unveiled the Veyron 16/4 Concept and said it would be built by 2003, which it wasn't.

They said it would have 1001bhp and do 250mph.

It still isn't being built, so it is going to be at least 2 years late. The "standard" car won't be able to do 250mph, for that you apparently need some tacky wings and special tyres.

If they do make the 1:18 model, it'll probably be better than the actual car.

Wel you shouldn't be, because the Veyron will never 'hit the streets'.

Why is that? I have not seen any thing any where the reasons why they are having problems to get this on production????

I've read on a magazine that Bugatti wants to make the Veyron reach 450 kph (i think), and for that Bugatti would have to change very much the Veyrons shape for a greater aerodynamic,
and Volkswagen is tired of wasting time and money with Bugatti so its very possible that it will never hit the streets.

The horsepower wars have manufacturers dosing huge portions of juice into their machines, only to turn around and put all kinds of electronic devices to make these cars controllable. Bugatti, wanting to live up to their revered name and be the first to produce more than 1000 hp, are now suffering from a classic case of, biting off more than you can chew.

Exactly. Bugatti Veyron, one of the most pointless automobiles to be considered for production. I dont care if it adds 10 mph to the maximum top speed debate. It does so only by using 350 bhp more than the Mclaren f1, and by using four wheel drive, and "special tyres" and derestricted limiter. Now tell me, which car is more intelligent?

Well the Veyron is more intelligent because it is a new car with a lot of computing power. The F1 is a car from over 10 years ago and has no driver aids and little computing power compared.

The Veyron is a pointless car. It has 1001 bhp but to get that figure it has a W16 8 litre engine with 4 turbochargers. The car will handle like a dog, because it weighs nearly 2 tonnes. That is ok in a GT but in a Hypercar it isn't. The car will also drink fuel like george best drinks alcohol and the engine could be unreliable because of its power. They also say that it is supposed to be a luxury car, but why does a luxury car need 8 litres of W16 and 1001 bhp. I don't care if the car can do 250 mph+ and I don't care if it can reach 60 mph in less than 3 seconds and reach 186 mph in 14 seconds. Why do you need to be that fast? In my eyes, the best top speed for a supercar is 200-210 mph. Any more than that is not nessessary. The F1 will always be a better car than the Veyron no matter what because it is a purist supercar and that is how it should be.

Sorry for the late reply, but go to www.project118.com and go to forums, and then to Press Room, there you will find new pics of the Veyron in 1:18 by AUTOart.

you're right. i think it meant only to make records, not as a real supercars. i wonder how it will turn with that kind of weight at 160 mph... :rolleyes:
