    So it's worth noting that, to date, this lap time has STILL not been beaten. Not even by the Atom V8, the BAC Mono, or even the Huayra, which is still three full seconds slower.

    • @apmirkin1481
      @apmirkin1481 11 років тому +50

      Three seconds means nothing if the car has reliability issues. I'm sure it could be beaten, just depends if someone goes out of their way to do so. Nissan went to beat a 911 turbo and so they did, with the GT-R. I actually think Nismo modded 900bhp GT-R maybe could.

    • @TheCallMeCrazy
      @TheCallMeCrazy 11 років тому +304

      The car had reliability issues because it was a prototype, not a production model. This is also the reason that it was removed from the board, as it lacked the production car's adjustable ride height and was incapable of going over a speed bump.

      apmirkin Prototypes, by definition, are not finished products. Every prototype is like this. Even the Mazda Furai caught fire when it was tested by TG. The car isn't 'rubbish'. It's the closest thing we ever got to a road-legal F1 car, which is a big milestone in itself.
      Also, why do you say you can't drive it home? It's every bit impractical, but so is an Ariel Atom, which has even less equipment than this.

    Ben Scott-Geddes of Caparo has stated that, "the model we supplied to Top Gear was one of our final engineering vehicles without adjustable ride height and electronic active driver control systems which are standard on our production models. When drivers select the 'road' setting, the car is more tractable in slower speed conditions and the ride height is fully adjustable to bring the car up to 90 mm clearance, making it more than capable of driving over speed bumps."
    The time should be placed back on IMO...

      Lol, the caparo T1 decimated other road legal cars. Even now that the real Top Gear is dead, it would've been the fastest legal time on the board. Bit of a marketing blunder of caparo to not supply a car with the proper adjustable ride height. Probably would've helped them some if the time stayed on.

      @@theeternalnow6506 Top Gear requires that a car must be able to clear a speed bump in order for its time to remain on the board. The T1 they tested was a pre-production model that did not have the ability to raise its nose, so the time was removed
      However, I believe the real reason is that leaving the T1's lap time up would rob the show of the 'suspense' value of seeing whether a new hyper car could set the fastest time. The answer would always be 'no'. The T1 improved on the old track record by 7 seconds. It's taken ~14 years for another car to come within 1 second of this lap time

      Except that the Bugatti isn't even designed with downforce in mind with the exception of the rear wing. I'm surprised that muscle car fanatics don't care about the Veyron, because it uses the exact same brute-force formula as a Mustang and just takes it to the logical extreme.

      So, because motorcycles exist, the laws of physics have completely rewritten themselves? Or are you just disregarding the fact that the gear ratios on motorcycles are set up for acceleration and not top-speed?
      I'd like you to do an experiment. Grab a cheap RC car kit from a hobby store (an ECX Torment is a good choice for this). Charge the battery, then run three full-throttle passes on a flat surface, making sure to jot down the top speed. Now, recharge the battery pack, then run three more full-throttle passes, this time with a cinderblock strapped to the chassis. The car should be faster without the cinderblock on it. Next, drop in a high-performance brushless system into that car and repeat the experiment. Again, the car should be faster without the cinderblock - specifically, the car should be fastest with the brushless motor and without the cinderblock, followed by the car with the stock setup and no cinderblock. If nothing else, this should prove that it's not the Veyron's weight that makes it fast.

    3:00. And that is the problem with so many of the current crop of "hypercars". So few people have the ability, or the reaction speed, to even begin to use a fraction of the available performance. Few of them are rich enough to buy one in the first place, and there are relatively few places where such performance could be utilised if you had the money and the ability to do so. Add to this the fact that so many of them are hideously ugly, you are left with a customer base consisting of short-sighted, billionaire, jet pilots with their own racetrack....

    then you would have to rework the body and chassis as well because the turbo takes up some space and you need additional air intakes. That would make it not only heavier and bigger, but probably its handling would become even worse.

      I don't think Stig really pushed it like in most cars he's driven. Watch the acceleration of Jeremy vs Stig. Stig really let off and used a more tactile approach. Like someone else said, those were road tires, and not slicks. If the test track is properly paved, they could've used slicks and we could see what Stig could really do with it.

You pay 1mil for bugattis, 1/4 of that money and you bus something thats by far better. Seriously, Bugattis, Koeniggsegg, Pagani...those cars are about speed, thats it. It doesn't matter if its comfortable, if you can buy some grocerys with it or how much it consumes, people driving these cars don't care, neither do i. Those type of cars should only be judged by the fact how fast they are.
