So let me tell you what fast really is in 2005. Fast is accelerating from 150mph so hard that the slightest ripple in the motorway starts the traction control light flashing - this from a car with permanent four wheel drive.
I'm sure he meant track rather than motorway didn't he.

Its a shame the thing is like the titanic, 1950kg jeeez... if they could have got to around 1600kg then it really would have benn monumental...
The 1000hp are just blunted by the fact it tips the scales at 2 tonnes....
1030\1900=542 although the torque figure of 515 per tonne is impressive...
Saying that I bet Andy F's scoob would leeve it from the lights! and actually has better figures for the power, his classic is around 1200kg
I'll be finding out very soon what 650 bhp per tonne feels like on a greasy winter roads.... Mmmm interesting...
And before anyone states the obvious no it wouldn't have beeten my scoob in the wet :-) I'll be havin the video cam strappen on the side for a giggle though!

The whole car, the engineering, the immense torque, and not the least the guts of the manufacturer to go beyond everything else, that what I find fascinating.

Just read Sutcliffe's drive in autocar and he just about sums it up...
An MacF1 and a Veyron together from the line, with the F1 setting off at full tillt if the Veyron set off 10 second after,(the F1 would already be doing 130) the Bug wouldget to 200mph at the same time as the F1.. now that is HUGELY FAST... jeeez... thats what a monumental ftlb figure does...
Have a read... sutters if most impressed and I rate him a Jurno and a driver...

Just thinking about that for a moment...
Noones actually figured the Bug apart from them... and i've just run it thru the cals... the F1 actually has a 550bhp per tonne the Bug 530... the bug has 60ftlb more per tonne than the Mac, I'm not sure if it would make the huge difference they are claiming...>>.
Will be interesting if someone get to strap a Vbox to it...

I'm surprised that Sutcliffe seeks soul and claims its in the Mclaren? Everyone I've ever heard who drove it said it was without any road feel at all?
Anyway, it would be amazing if VW could build such a car the size of an Impreza. There simply is no need to make a car this big, except that is to allow owners to belive that the size allows the car to mow down, or potentially ram, other cars. This new car reminds me of a mid-engined and lowered Cayenne. So much great technology wasted on the few. I think we'd all be better off just buying a WRC car!
