Captain Slow is given the task of driving the Bugatti veyron at it’s top speed – 253 miles per hour. Can the slowest driver in Britain do it? Find out in this free auto video from BBC Worldwide and Top Gear.
The Aero is however a drivers car and has a manual gear box. It can be driven on regular roads and handles “like its on rails” according to Businessweek magazine.
I have been on plenty of car message boards and review sites with commentors that have driven both. The Aero handles better than a Bugatti and is considered more comfortable even over rough surfaces. Just look it up yourself. It also accelerates faster from 0-60.

15 min dude…
you would burn Boeing 747’s tires after 15 mins on those speeds and fuel 12
If it was a bitch to turn, then why it bested other cars such as Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo and ranked under 1:20 on Top Gear track? Veyron is not a track car, never claimed to be one, it is a grand tourer which is even more impressive.
@Supish16… beauty is in the eye of the beholder…. and i would rather drive a veyron though because it is actually drivable…. the driver of the aero reported wheelspin at over 190mph… i enjoy my life and would be satisfied w/ 2nd fastest if it means i live to see tomorrow
@Inv4derxXx
and who cares if it isnt that much faster. its a record thats all that matters. Lets take a look at previous 100meter sprint records 9.683 compared to 9.762. sure its only about .1 of a second faster but it IS faster and thats all that matters
it isn’t that much faster to really make a difference… veyron is much more sexy, and has all the accessories of a luxury car, and is a pleasure to drive
the aero is a all out race car even though its P:W is double the veyron’s it only goes 5mph faster…. at 250+ i don’t think i could tell the difference between 252 & 257

I see this video about the sixth time, but kept me with him strongly beating heart, and I have goosebumps

@ tippotipo, it managed that becuase of it’s redonculous acceleration. Besides, it didn’t run the Top Gear Track, atleast I haven’t seen it.

No, if you listen carefully and watch his lip movements, he clearly says fifty, not fifteen.

#11 by NickIsOriginal on January 2, 2010 - 11:56 am

“getting towards my top speed, that means my tires will last only about 50 minutes. But its ok! my fuel runs out in 12.” 6:34

I love the veyron, hell 4WD ftw, but, ugh, it’s a bitch to turn I hear.

@Inv4derxXx
the wheelspin at 190 is only if you floor it.
#18 by Inv4derxXx on January 2, 2010 - 3:54 pm
all i’m saying is the Veyron is a more drivable supercar…
#19 by Supish16 on January 2, 2010 - 4:06 pm
