Bugatti Veyron - Modded by JUN
http://www.bespokeventures.com/blog/..._1600x1200.jpg
Not a real car but still wanted to share it Can you imaging how it would be if a Japanese tuner modded the Veyron?

It'd be rice, come on. The attraction o the Veyron is that it is not from Japan.
You would get bland styling, lots of plastic and everything that would make sense to a Japanese car maker. The Veyron is a one off, the cost to make is higher to make than they sell it for. Look at the georgeous magnesium turn stalk, a one off. The Veyron goes beyond anything Japan can do. What, Japan makes a GTR and all of a sudden they are performance car makers, please... |

Edit: Or looking at the pic I should say since it's not a video. Either way, Bugatti did more than enough tuning. The giant wing is silly. Bugatti's wing setup is very finely tuned and it wouldn't reach the same speeds with that one. They did so much tuning that they said they tried to change or take off the mirrors and the car would start floating because even the side mirrors provided JUST enough downforce to keep the thing planted. Still, it's a nice pic, but if anyone were to do that they'd actually make the Veyron worse than it is now. Last edited by AJerman; 03-28-2008 at 10:21 PM.. |

nice, but if it's going for top speed wouldn't the additional downforce actually be detrimental. when u put the veyron in top speed mode it actually decreases downforce by lowering the rear wing and decreasing drag.

And as for your other snyde comment about VW not producing supercars, ever heard of a tiny company called Lamborghini that uses extensive technology from another tiny company called audi that are both siblings of the parent VW? Also that tiny company audi just came out with the R8 which is a supercar.

Getting accelerating figures for a better 0-60, 120, 180 than what they have on paper is doable. But to try and get to a 500kmph top speed is a daunting task. Add to that a mix of daily driveability and comfort and well.... lets just say this, you come up with an idea for that project and you will be hailed as an automotive genius.

look, i know this isn't an official proposal by JUN, and that its just some enthusiast's photoshop. but come on, is it not glaringly obvious in the picture that this is a track concept, and not a "how fast can i go in a straight line" concept? besides, if you know anything about JUN, you'd know that they'd be far more interested in turning a Veyron into a respectable track/circuit car, and not trying to increase its straight line speed.

Dude, at the bottom it says "Objective 500 KPH", the sketch, whether serious or just fun, made by the JUN company or not, meant to make it sound like they were going to make the car faster, which that wing absolutely would not do. I agree, judging by the picture, the only way it would be faster is on a track (perhaps, we'd have to see, i don't know enough about the car), which you obviously know as well, but you have to admit that if you read what it says, it's a ricer sketch. Whoever drew it thought "Hey! Lets throw a huge wing on and a fancy paint job then say it can go even faster than before!". Contrary to popular teenage jap tuner belief, big wings, tribal stripes, and fart cans don't make cars faster.

LOL its funny you mention that...i was driving around last Friday night (not picking on Mustangs ) when a white 03 Cobra comes up hard behind me and starts instigating. when we finally got down to it, i could not beat him. we were dead even from 40-110mph. i found out after the race that he was running a 13.5psi pulley...all in all, i'm content that i didn't actually lose this one .
