Renmure Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Clarkson did seem ever so slightly 'enthusiastic'!! Quote
a4drk Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Right - Someone work out how many mpg this is (or gpm! Clarkson said, A full tank of petrol - 100 litres If driving flat out (limited to 250mph) it would run for 12 minutes........... Whats that consumption? Quote
DavidC Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 250 mph for 1/6th of an hour = 40 miles (knocked a little off for the run up from 0-250 mph ) 100 litres = 22 gallons. 1.82 mpg! Quote
Ted Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 And it only costs about 1/4 of the manufacturing cost, bargain, I'll have 2 please. Quote
a4drk Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 250 mph for 1/6th of an hour = 40 miles (knocked a little off for the run up from 0-250 mph ) 100 litres = 22 gallons. 1.82 mpg! 12 minutes is a 5th of an hour.... so actually works out at 2.27mpg...... sorry be being pedantic...... Quote
steve_m Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 250 mph for 1/6th of an hour = 40 miles (knocked a little off for the run up from 0-250 mph ) 100 litres = 22 gallons. 1.82 mpg! 12 minutes is a 5th of an hour.... so actually works out at 2.27mpg...... sorry be being pedantic...... Oh, that makes all the difference ! I was about to cancel my order when David said 1.8 mpg but 2.25 mpg is perfectly acceptable Quote
neilb Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Good to see Mansell place a top lap time - made Hill look like the some woman the drives a boat for a living Quote
Martin Keene Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 And talk about cut a corner... Did somebody forget to tell him it wasn't a rally car! As for the Buggati... I've always pronounced it the Veyr-on, somehow its even cooler when you pronouce it Vey-ron. And any car whihc sounds more like a plane than a car when its being cranked just has to be Shame I didn't burn it to DVD, still theres always Tuesday! Quote
hilux Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Here ya go, explains it all.................. Quote
Martin Keene Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 The videos on the Buggati site that link points to would be great, if it wasn't for the wooden yank that keeps calling it a Bo-ggar-ti... Quote
Pepi Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted this before ......thought it was worth a second look now Bugatti video video has some old Bugatti cars first, then it looks at the Veyron. Quote
