Some of you may have seen this. It's a video of the Bugatti Veyron being taken up to top speed of 253 mph. Totally amazing how effortless it was on the car and driver.
http://www.glumbert.com/media/bugattiAnd to think this work of art may be on the chopping block, after the big shake-up at top of VW...........these guys that just came over from Audi seem......(you know : the ones that produced , what some have called a "trout-mouth" version of some of the most understated and elegant road cars made today), to have a pretty low grasp of the terms "beauty", exotica, or $PEED. Because they have been power/blinded themselves into believing the only things that count are ultra conservativsm, $afety, and the almighty Euro. Just watch.....these dumb asses will try to resurrect the Phaeton , before they axe the new Scirroco, GTI, or the Bugatti Veyron.
And probably get away with it, because they will reduce the number made even further and charge a lesser number for it.
We live in such a time of mechanical marvel, delightful, and exuberant technology, BUT, its all playing second fiddle to the green.
I say
, because its a foregone deal.....history.
I'm gonna archive this vid and watch it when I'm about 90 and see if anything else has come along to compare.
Where's my flux-capacitor ?
