Read my other post, it will make a difference, if it didn't then they wouldn't limit it would they?

Its not like Bugatti's engineers are retarded, I'm sure they've put thousands of hours on the tire dyno, they don't just make up arbitrary numbers.

He is speaking like ughh it wont wreck because the tires would handle those 9-11mph less not more.

I'm pretty sure the people who own these cars have the connections to get into places with enough room to go that fast.

Kinda complicated.

RUF is a manufacturer, same as Alpina is with BMWs

9ff is a tuner, but they also build their own cars like the GT-9, the only thing that car has in common with a Porsche are the headlamps and the hood, not listed as manufacturer though

Brabus started as a tuner but now its a car manufacturer using Mercedes Benz cars for a basis

--> Brabus "Bullit", "Rocket", "One of ten" are the names to google for.


Even "Jim Turner Sportscars" is listed as a German manufacturer but all they do is nail together some Factory Five Kit Cars.....saw a Jim Turner GTO on a Nürburgring Track Day and wondered what is so special about them.....the only thing what makes them different is that they can be ordered to run with natural gas.


other German car manufacturers are Wiesmann, Gumpert, Artega, Bitter to name a few.


basicly every company has their own production line, not including the engines.

Artega uses VW engines, Wiesmann and Alpina get their engines directly from BMW where the Alpina engines are being tuned before they leave the factory.

Gumpert uses Audi components.


cars have to obey the registration laws of the country they are being driven in like illumination components (rear fog lights), side mirrors (the EU forces the manufacturers to use larger side mirrors), emissions (very strict), safety for passengers and pedestrians.

some of these regulations can't be fulfilled by some manufacturers because their car's purpose is being a racecar (like the Gumpert) so the manufacturers spend alot of money at the TÜV to get the cars legal.

Technischer Überwachungsverein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tuned Honda Civic or whatever is no production car.

A Bugatti Veyron sure is, even if there is just 5 of it, like the Veyron Pur Sang.

You can drive at ridiculous speeds with the Bugatti without being scared to death, aerodynamics are superb with this car.

how so? I think its a valid point. If they can get 1000HP out a single turbo, single radiator, 2L 4 cylinder that wasnt made from the factory to withstand that then how the fuck do you fail to make an 8L 16 cylinder, 4 turbos and is it 8 radiators? Can someone find an official number? I think any company can engineer a car like that, the LFA is all motor 150HP per liter making 500HP. Cmon now 4 turbos? 16 cylinders? Why? Its all a bragging car to have the most or biggest or fastest. IMO its stupid and I dont like them. Would I drive one if given to me? Hell yeah but if I had the chance to trade it in for the cash and buy several amazing cars I would do that.

8L x 150hp = 1200hp

8radiators:
  • 4 radiators for the engine cooling system.
  • 1 heat exchanger for the air-to-liquid intercoolers.
  • 2 for the air conditioning system.
  • 1 transmission oil radiator.
  • 1 differential oil radiator.
  • 1 engine oil radiator.
w engine design probably needed 4 turbos not 2

Oh, no. That wasn't in reference to the posters in this thread. I was talking about the entire userbase of this website.
