Bugatti Veyron First Drive Review! Modern Classics Ep 15
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2020
- This is THE Bugatti Veyron and today is my first drive of the ultimate hypercar despite it being launched 15 years ago! The Bugatti Veyron is the platform that changed the game and ultimately lead to the Bugatti Chrion. It is powered by a W16 quad turbo engine, developing 1001bhp and 1100lb ft torque with a top speed of 250mph!
This episode is in collaboration with @Michelin - who developed the ground breaking tyres for this incredible car!
Massive thanks to my ninja camera crew @alexroryjacobs @huck93

My left ear became more powerful in the presence of this monumental car.
mornadu damn I thought my earphone got fucked up
Ha ha snap! Thought my pods were buggered!
@@noonenooo2843 me too
Voice audio in the beginning is not stereo
Good video but who ever edited it should have actually watched it back
So happy to be sharing this one! Not sure what has happened to the left ear audio on opening of the video sorry! It re-balances in the car - Sounds better without earphones if you can manage, will investigate for future videos!
Seemed the same for me on the 911 video when in car although didn't realise it was only one speaker
Likely recorded into channel 1 of a 2ch interface and then imported as a stereo audio file (where channel 2 was not used) rather than a single mono channel.
People on the internet are pricks that take everything for granted, they sure don't know how to appreacite anything until they lost it. Don't worry, you still have those who enjoy the excellent content and amazing effort that you put in to create something as good as this video (that is free btw). Keep going with the great work and one merely technical issue won't make it any less good!
Good news! I’m deaf in my left ear so I didn’t notice 😂😂😂😂
if those brakes are as mad as you say they are it could kill you. i actually pulled my left eye muscle doing a 75mph to 0mph emergency stop in my Rcz. the brakes on my car in 7 years still feel mental.
This guy is litterally living Forza Horizon 4, imagine..
That's what I keep saying😂
He did work to get here. Good guy.
@Stay Woke Manny is just something else
@@michaelgakanga Manny?
@@Antonio88870 there must have been a comment I was referring to
Am i the only one who could only hear from my left ear???
Me too!!!
JWW Videos are horrible on headphones *no hate*
@jan h No most are good
I was just about to smash my headphones against the wall. Thanks for saving them
Not the only one! Awful audio
I cant believe this car is already 15 years old... Makes me feel old
And most car manufacturers still can't make a car as fast. It feels like people don't have the same vision as they used to.
@amarjit singh What are you on about? I'm in my twenties and this car makes me feel old.
Dude this is weird I’m 14 and I still feel old like I remember being a kid and just thinking how legendary and rare this car was
This is not debatable. The veyron is already classed as a future classic.
Lol it was ever since it was announced
Agreed, an original 16.4 Veyron with a smart specification would be the Bugatti to have in the coming years!
Especially because of the fact that it’s so timeless and elegant
Let's take a moment to appreciate Veyron hasn't aged at all.
Also, Mr.JWW crisp video quality.
It has aged you can tell from the lights and wheels
are you on crack? look at it compared to todays super/hypercars it looks like a fuckin 1960s beetle
It’s aged quite a bit. Especially compared to the much newer Chiron
Yeah, the original almost looks like it was made in the 80s. However, the last Veyron’s built look very good and modern.
nice, my left ear absolutely loved this video
Lollikips I can’t watch things with trash audio
was just about to complain about this
I thought it was just me been like this for the last few
i COULD NOT WATCH BRO LOL
thanks guy berryman for letting james for show us this car.
Letting james for showing us this car?
Gav391979 The car is owned by Guy Berryman.
@@yusha27 yes and hopefully he will let james drive his other cars.
Bugatti Veyron was the car that coined the term hypercar
I’d say it was even beyond that. This was in the time of the Zonda, SLR, Enzo and Carrera GT but the Veyron was in a different league
@@pb7870 yaa right said it's like it was from a parallel universe no one thought this can happen
F1
Hands down one of the best journalists on this platform!
We have also the Harry's Garage.
I wouldn't call him a journalist. He's more of a presenter.
James is not a journo
The most insane fact about this car: Despite being the most expensive new car at the time, it was sold at a loss. In fact, it was 5 times more expensive to produce, than the price it was sold at. They lost millions with every car sold. That's how much of a leap forward this car was. The tech wasn't even there to make it cost viable.
It was a way for vw group to flex their muscles and probably saved them some on tax
But the tech researched for this car would have paid for those r&d costs by now. From the polo to the Chiron, all of them have a DSG and much more that came out of the veryron.
@@girishs1755 One of the biggest innovation was their wiring : the developpement of the Veyron led the engineers to work for the first time with optical fiber rather than copper and gold to send information. That allowed them to operate every electrical component 4 times faster than any other car at that time : the differential, the wing, the transmission, the gearbox, the engine etc.
@@Dipierox thaks for that. who'd have thought something as trivial as wiring would need any research.
So it’s been 15 years since my mind got blown away the most by a car.
My Veyron Story: Of course like many of you, I was about 12 when I saw Jeremy Clarkson drive the Veyron on a Top Gear special and that moment forever changed the way I looked at cars. Fast forward 10 years and I was walking with my sister on Rodeo Drive in California when out of the corner of my eyes, I spotted 4 distinct tail lights and massive hips that could only come from one car, the legendary Veyron. Being able to see one up close for 5 minutes just sent shivers down my spine. My sister was so surprised that her gay brother would be so fascinated with cars rather than clothes, but cars, and now electric cars like the Rimac C2 just gives me more hope and passion to my love of the automobile. Keep up the killer work like always James! PS, you should TOTALLY consider the Porsche Taycan for your new daily driver!
The Veyron is a special car for sure! Amazing story man! James is fucking dope
Yep I love the Veyron too
Have a great day very special people who God loves
My ultimate dream is to just see one of these beautiful engineering marvels in person. Just to hear that W16 rumble. I’m gay too but damn do I love cars too lol
There's a lovely video on the ISSIMI channel in the Spotlight where Jason Cammisa tells the reason behind the 406km/h. A specially designed Peugeot actually broke Porsche's record (370km/h) on the Mulsanne straight and achieved 406km/hr and Ferdinand Piech wanted that record back to honor his granddad, Ferry Porsche.
Like usual a really good quality and very informative video Mr JWW. It’s a joy to follow you and keep up the great videos.
Am I going crazy or was this filmed at Guy Berryman’s?
That's what I thought too!;)
The car is out of Guys collection, so no you are not crazy.
You did it again ! Wow wow wow !! Again a great video
My car is like Veyron, it stops faster than it accelerates.
James, your best video. I will never tire of the depth & quality of engineering within that endlessly scintillating Motor Vehicle.
Many thanks for answering my question regarding the tyres and running costs James. Excellent review!
Hi James,
Absolute quality vid👍packed with great drone footage and slow mo's and packed with facts and figures awesome 👏👏
Loved it.
Best car video I've seen on UA-cam in a very long time. This feels like a real step up in quality. Top work!
Can you do a Porsche 959 at some point? The original hyper car... Like the Veyron, it brought whole new technologies to market.
Well done sir. Beautifully shot, warmly presented and artfully edited.The car looks great and the cotswolds look so lush.
What a machine 👌🏻 The bit that got me is when you said it feels like it could have been made yesterday... What an amazing feat of engineering this car is 😊
I'm 11mins 19secs into this and can i just say how much i love these types of videos. I have so much appreciation for the engineering on these vehicles it's literally mind boggling. Looking forward to the driving part lol
Its kinda crazy to see how far you've come and the things that you are doing with this channel. Well done brother!
That's modern classics royalty! A hyper level! Great review as usual, James! Right on spot!;)
What a car and what a video James. I love the format you do this in. Absolutely brilliant video. Really looking forward to the next. 👍👍👍
Love the quality and story putting forwards in editing J. Been following your channel since you started and enjoy it more every day.. Cant wait to see what @TheProductionBunker is going to provide for content. Keep on..keeping on mate :-)
Brilliant, love your work👍
A fantastic production on this video, and I loved the way how you told the story of the car - who knew talking about tyres could be so interesting!
James always offers proper reviews and experiences in full sentences. This guy is next level. Thanks James, once again, lovely work.
One of the most informative & entertaining car reviews I have ever watched. Well done....
Awesome! :) E: Woah stunning quality!
Mr.JWW... all props too you youve raised the bar with the quality and the content
Amazing camera work
Legend reborn .....
Only @mrjww can do it...👏🏼
James, I truly and honestly love and enjoy all your content. However I think I enjoy your Modern Classic series is my favourite content. We are of similar age and the cars that you review for this series are all cars that were on my walls and dreamed about. I feel as I get older these cars seem to be more important to me (and I feel our age groups) and seem more relevant then the latest Mclaren, Lamborghini, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I love ALL cars new and old. However it’s nice to see how our dream cars are holding up in these incredible automotive times! I also like that your series isn’t just about the crazy expensive cars. I’d love to see more “normal” cars. Like maybe a 1st Gen 986 boxster spyder? Also on the other end of the spectrum, a manual Zonda... Keep up the amazing content and good luck with all your ventures!
Excellent video from mr JWW .. great channel always great content
Simply the best car in the world! Awesome review. No one can explain the tires like you did. Well done! The camera on the windshield was difficult to watch from the flashing sunlight every second light shot through the trees. It was like a strobe light in a dark room.
Amazing video , even makes tyres very interesting . Professional presenting and fascinating insight into a now classic car and highlights the importance of its ground breaking production and what has come since
As the years passed by its quiet fascinating how veyron hasn't aged a day!
Ansab it aged very well
You’re having the best lockdown out of all of us
Fantastic insight James. Wow, just wow. Brilliant thanks.
A fantastic presentation of a real legend of a car, a car that defined and redefined an era, and people comment about an audio mishap 🤦♂️
Wow man! I remember seeing this the first time on Top Gear but didn’t fully appreciate it, you sir conveyed it beautifully. I also don’t know if it’s coincidence since you launched the production bunker but the production, quality and continuity have just blown the roof right off!!! Incredible man
😜👍🏻
This car will always be the king of the road. Seeing one of these in the flesh is one of the only cars that i still get stupidly excited about!!!
Love this review I watch now and again
this is epic. Thanks man
15 years watching Veyron videos and never get bored.
Jww to the next level. This hyper cruiser lunch when I was getting out of high-school. I graduated in 2006. Make u stop and think how far it came.
Every decade or so there's a car that defines what it means to build cars:
Mercedes-Benz 300SL
Lamborghini Miura
Ferrari F40
McLaren F1
Bugatti Veyron
Aston Martin Valkyrie
I'd swap the Valkyrie with the Regera.
I'd swap the F40 with the Porsche 959. The F40 was a response from Ferrari to the 959.
I agree with this list. You have the correct cars there
@@mattevans4377 918 in my opinion
@@tededmondson Both were built to compete in Group B originally (288 GTO EVO and 959), and then turned into road cars when that didn't pan out. So it's not really a response to the 959, but a competitor. The F40 continues to define for many people the ultimate analog supercar, where the 959 was the first of the modern tech-fests. So as something to represent a high point or define an era, I would say the F40 is more significant to the 80s. As a scion of change, the origin of a new era the 959 certainly has its place in history though.
MrJWW taking over UA-cam...fukn a right...every hyper car owes their existence to this groundbreaking piece of art
I wished that I could hear the video from both ears!😂
But great video as always!!
Easily the best youtuber. Such fantastic content.
Absolutely love the Veyron! Whilst I don't find it particularly attractive compared to many other hyper/super cars, it's a mechanical tour de force and an incredible vehicle even today.
Great review, thank you!
The quality of your videos is simply awesome
World economy collapsing however James is now driving a Veyron... this channel is elevated to the next level, amazing cinematography and content as usual (if not even better). Thanks and keep it up! 👍💪
Yyyyyyeerrrrr modern classic are back , happy days 👍🏻👍🏻😎
What a review man, congrats!!!
Hello James! Keep up the sick content!
Mini heart attack - thought my right speaker died...
WTF is that ? I also thought something was wrong
Idk, the same thing happens for Schmee’s videos
Rob Mockevicius I thought my Sony XM3 just got trashed😂😂😂
I remember the first day this car started up and drove them was on top gear then tracks the streets ect everything it's ever done, my passion and loyalty its power and beauty still stands is still amazing and for me the Veyron is still king of the road
James, your the best in the game my friend, next level
Great car, Great video, Great shoots. I really like that new expanded form of Modern Classic Series. I miss some RAW footage of driving car tought, do you have some?
Everyone: why don’t you like to watch movies?
Me: I still do. It’s just different (bro the quality of these videos is just amazing)
I had no idea the car had 1100 lb-ft of torque, that number is astronomically high. God I love the Veyron and everything it stands for. Unquestionably one of the greatest automobiles of all time.
Great video especially the music Awesome
Another amazing video. Looking forward to the bunker content
Love to see you and guy do road trip in this!
The best vid on your channel!👍
Keep posting videos big fan from Kenya 🇰🇪
Best series ever, James
It's unbelievable the speed at which everything is progressing now. It's really hard to appreciate how quickly the world's grown up in the last 15 years, but it was almost in a kind of technological infancy when the Veyron was launched.
15 years ago we were just getting into DVD, the internet was still in its infancy with many connections still being dial-up and the computer tech that made social media possible (Web 2.0 with it's billions upon billions of interconnections) was only being launched, Ferrari only launched the F430 in 2005 (with its futuristic F1 style flappy paddle gear shifters!), flat screen TVs were only just becoming popular then, and the iPhone was still a couple of years away from existing. We were also still 3 years away from the HD digital recording revolution with Canon's 5D MKII (I'm sure James knows what I'm talking about) which was a game-changer for internet content providers. Lastly in 2005, youtube was just launched.
With the Veyron I think it was safe to say the future had finally arrived (sorry, that's horribly cliched)! 🤣
Great video. Thank you!
Had to laugh so hard when he roasted the Audi engineers and their gearbox 😂
Absolutely cracking review of a great car. Even now the Veyron does not look second hand or dated. I remember before it came out and all the carmags at the time reported it was delayed due to the tyres needing to be able to take 250mph which at the time seemed an unbelievable speed. I'm sure the likes of Ferrari,McLaren and Porsche nicked some of that hard earned development for the P1 etc. My favourite Veyron tests are Jeremy Clarkson when it launched on top gear driving through Europe and Harry metcalfes drive in a Veyron vitesse. This review is now up there with them,easily could have watched another 10 minutes thanks.
Best series in youtube ever made
Absolutely fantastic video James! Without the Bugatti I don’t think a lot of modern HyperCars would have had a bar to reach for. This really set the bar for all performance cars from 2005 onwards.
Can I just say as well with regards to the video, could you get your editor to do some colour correction in future? The otherwise footage of the car is quite flat in colours and quite muted, but otherwise everything else is sublime!
Great video James 👍
Excellent review
Usually I wasn't a big fan of the Veyron, but seeing it in this video I kind of fell in love a bit. Never saw it as a classic that changed my perspective towards the car.
Remember the first time I saw one of these - it was parked outside the Dorchester and in a beautiful two tone bronze and black colour scheme - Piech was a mad perfectionist who we have a lot to thank for including the bulletproof nature of your GT3 etc...
Hi james, thank you for a video on this beautiful car, and I'd just like to say it's a pleasure to listen to someone that gives you all the information right down to the finest detail, I did here from one of our engineears at Cosworth that you was meant to be coming to see our valkyrie engine running on our Dyno's. Not sure if you have been or if you are going to come.. kind regards Bob Rose
This was a great video
I like those sunnies, great for ski touring. Might have to get a pair
Yes!
You are inspiration. ♥️
Wonderfully stimulating my left ear
You looked like you had a blast driving that. Still one of the greatest looking cars still today....even if it is 10 or so years old!
i think mr jww could have his own car tv program as he knows his stuff an keeps the viewers entertained an sheer great video quality
Incredible car. Thankful that passionate petrol heads like guy berryman and quality journalists like mr JWW can bring this to us all. On the plus side, my Macan GTS has a Veyron gearbox 🤪
Bugatti veyron is a special car, even after almost two decades it still can compete with the best supercars
Excellent video quality
When are your Caterham videos coming?
I swear the design brief was, "make it costly to service and run". All this adds to the legend and makes it collectable. Even rims need to be replaced every other to fourth tire change. An oil change is a massive job. The McLaren f1 was similar. I can see how people love them but too me to many compromises in the name of speed. Speed is just a number. I'm a hot hatch man, not perfect, but handle well and can enjoy normal roads, fast enough. Just as much advanced engineering goes into making them reliable and useable and cheap. It's easy to over-engineer with cost no limit.
The dream 😍
Great episode, I love this series.
On the side, this should be Ep 16 I think... Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS was Modern Classics Ep 15;)
Loving the Golf borrowed instrument dials
The stradman should watch this video and buy a veyron. Great video👌🏻
