This is the ultimate supercar. The engine designed by VW is a W16 (2 V8's). The car has a top speed of 406 km/h and 0-100 in 2.9 seconds.
The most amazing thing is that it reaches 300km/h in 14 seconds.
The engine is 8 litres and the car has 7 gears. I need one of these.
I did a project on the Veryon about a year ago, when it was still in the prototype stage. Because of the emense speeds that the car can reach, they need specially made 21' tyres from Michelin (spelling!). They cost approx R12000 each! They're also "run flat" meaning you can still drive on them when they're flat!
Who would have thought that the ultimate road car was owned by VW!!!

Agg man, my Polo(VW ofcourse, what did you xpect) will through dust in this punny little car's face. 8O
When I'm a rich business man (one day!), I'll buy a porche and come and fetch you from the highest hill in durban, and we'll go for a ride, okay Magic? Then maybe you take me for a ride on your bike?
Zheeeeesh, NinjaTic! You trust me that much?! I do a lot of scratching when I have a pillion - hope you're not too heavy!
Maybe it'll take too long to become a rich businessman, and besides, by then you'll have all the babes after your Body AND your money, so I won't stand a chance. Maybe I should borrow Liebs Porsche and take you for a burn, hmmmm?
Hey Magic, do you ever attend the toy-runs that go from the Pavillion to the Harbour? I've been to one, and have seemed to miss out on the last two years. Are the toy-runs still going, if so, when does it take place? I really enjoyed the last one that I went on, even though I felt a bit small on my 250cc against the likes of the R1's and Harleys!! 8O
NinjaTic. I've only been on one Toy Run, about 2 years ago. I don't know if they still have them. What 250 have you got? I've got a BMW R69s - white, with a fairing. 1961 classic My housemate has an R100RS and a 1953 R50/3 plus bits and pieces of other old bikes and cars. I wish I could put my car in the garage but there's only space for all the bikes. 2 garages is definitely not enough for us!
Seriously now, apart from dreamcars, what car would you buy for everyday use?
