Bugattis just like the McMerc SLR, a big tarts handbag, great peice of engineering but can imagine fat,permatanned 60 year olds cruising round monaco in them, give me a Pagani zonda anyday.

I was hoping the stig would give it a blast around the track as it would have been interesting to see how it handled on a circuit.

true to some extent but the bugatti is in a completely different league to the merc come on. infact it isnt a league as there is noting else like it.

personally, I dont feel they really showed enough of the car. too much emphasis on the race. As said above, would have been interesting to see it go round the lap.

so each one costs £5 million to build and they sell for £850,000 thats some loss

surely they are taking into account the cost of research, how could it cost that much to build a car

but what a car, 10 radiators!!!! 2x v8 engines and 4 turbos, the car looked just perfect in everyway.

That Bugatti is MAD!! Vs a Maclaren F1, let the F1 get to 120 MPH then let the bugatti go and it will still beat the F1 to 200 MPH!!!!!! How fast is that!

I liked the Buggati before but after seeing it on TG i fookin love it. It looks so much smaller when you see it moving. In the photos id seen before it looked massive. I know its heavy but it does look pretty tidy. Dont think a blast round their tight track would have done it justice. I would have liked to see the stig try though but it probably wouldnt have been faster than a few of the top cars on the board at the moment which would have put a bit of a downer on the whole article i think. All in all TG gets better every week and what about Mansel. Pretty quick. Makes Damon hill look pish.

That's because DH is..!

Olde Nige may have shaved his tash off and shaved a good chunk off the lap time, but what about his eyebrows for FFS..!

He still gets out the car and looks and acts fcuked, even if his only backed it out the garage..!

Still a good pedeller though.

was gutted to see that the veyron had been in my building where i work and that i didn't know about it!!! they even counted my floor number when they were going up in the lift and yes the lifts are a pain in the ar$e.

what a car though. i want one. will be doing a few extra lines on the lottery. although put it into perspective. what would you rather have for your £840k? a mixture of ferraris, astons and lamborghinis or 1 veyron?

That car is so right and really does something for me......

Acording to the TopGear web site it says "It's so good, the Stig cried after driving it" so it looks like the Stig did have a play in it but god know why they didnt show it...maybe in another show or as they saving it for one of Jeza's DVD's ?

It would have been nice to see the Buggati in action on a strip/track,
Maybe against a superbike to give a good idea of how the car accelerates.

4K for an indicator stalk, how crazy is that !

The only time I didn't set the video cos I knew I could watch the repeat it's not bloody repeated.
