C&D said if you buy one you get a lifetime pass to Volkwagens proving grounds in Wolfsburg, Germany. It has like a 5mile stretch. And in order to get the 253 you have to stop the car and put it in top speed mode.

Who would go 253 MPH? Honestly.
i have no clue but its probably for rich guys to buy and just say it can go over 250 mph. seems like a status car, or a missle on wheels if the wrong person drove it.

they claim that but it has not been recorded yet same with that new Chrysler.(they say they only made it to 5th gear but it has 7) I would go 250 if i could afford a vehicle that could do that type of speeds.

How, why, and who tansports this many valuable cars in a group like this, thats high risk. wouldnt it be smarter to transport them by single or double car trailers?
ne1 gather how much the truck and all the cars is worth total?

i'd take the either the f-50 or the diablo, im a poster driven child.

and about the bugattie doing 250+, it could have done it sure, but the record isnt goign to be rewritten cus some guy wrote an article saying he did that, it took several passes for the koenigsen <- however its spelled to do it and they didnt use the spedomemeter to read it either.

i still beleive the xj220 is as fast as you would need to go, someday.

the bugatti you guys are talking about is the veryon. if i ever hit powerball this is the very first thing on my "to buy" list. it costs over a million.

you don't need to stop to put the car in "top-speed mode," lol. it does it automatically. the car automatically lowers itself, and raises and lowers its rear wing at certain speed.

their is so much technology in this car it sickens me. read up boys.

edit: oh yeah, 16 cylinders, four turbos, 1000hp, 900+ftlbs, 250+ mph.....................and it's AWD. i love it.

^ I agree with you on everything above, including buying one if I hit the lottery, but you do have to come to a stop to put it in high speed mode. They also suggest you check tires and tire pressure, basically do a walk around. Going 250+ is no joke, they had to make specific tires for the car to be able to go that speed, and a blowout, we wouldn't even want to think about that. I wouldn't need to go 250, that car would be a monster at any speed, but I'm sure I'd make a trip to Europe to test it out on VW's track.

I completely agree.

exactly what track in the world could even support tath speed i would think you would need a long straight away inorder to hit that speed and then slow for the next turn.
