Considering its supposed to be a really fast car it didnt make much noise. I thought it would have been more TVRish but it actually sounded like like a sleeping fish.
So anyone watch top gear? Clarkson made a unique car, was very interesting if utter shіt.

    It's the turbo's that shush the Veyron (I worked on it)....

    Clarksons car was stupid, they should have sat Hammond in it as he wouldn't have been able to see out!

    It's also a VW Group car, so doesn't it have to conform to all their quality, comfort and noise criteria just like a Golf?

    Saw a Merc CL Brabus S65 last night, with custom exhausts. THAT was a wonderful sound to behold...reminded me of one of the ferrari V8 Riva boats that is moored next to my buddy's (not quite so bling but still cool 8 litre v10 effort) berth in Palma. I actually slowed down to keep listening to it take off from traffic lights. Made my day.

    Only time I've seen one is parked up outside the Encore (where I was staying) in Vegas. The middle strip was light brown?!? Not my taste

    I passed that one up the A60 between Rempstone and Bunny, must be local.

    This is one of five Pur Sang Veyrons and cost €1.4M :shock:. Based in Derby (according to PistonHeads :roll:).

    I bet this makes the Audi R8 driving owner of Node4 a bit envious. :)
