:) That's the one! Royal sweetness :) What a great looking engine ;) Oh my, you have graced this thread :wave:

380kW = 510HP
700Nm = 516ft/lb (is that the one Americans use?)

Oh how I love it :)

Yes the little one is doing very well, he's 4 weeks tomorrow. I think we're slowly starting to see a routine downpat, my wife is always saying "oh no, he's going to stuff up my day again" and I'm thinking "your days always get stuffed up"... :) But he's great, I just love giving him cuddles and play-times, we read books and look outside and look in the mirror and go for walks along the beach etc...

Its a nice car, I would paint it black with blood red on the indents on the side, with full black tint.

Make it look like a modern day batmobile.

the niftiest thing (in my opinion) about the veyron is that to get it street legal in most countries...they had to put a speed governer on it...but instead of just putting on a permanent governer...they put a key hole in the floor...to go top speed you have to put a key into it and turn it to "unluck" the governer...that also initiates the "shape shifting" features (where the front of the car will lower...and other body modifications occur)

The driver must, using a special key (the "Top Speed Key"), toggle the lock to the left of his seat in order to use the maximum speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph). The key functions only when the vehicle is at a stop when a checklist then establishes whether the car—and its driver—are ready to enable 'top speed' mode. If all systems are go, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers close and the ground clearance, normally 12.4 cm (4.9 inches), drops to 6.6 cm (2.6 inches).
I remember seeing it at "Top Gear",according to jeremy the handling in towntraffic is a nightmare.But once on the open road.......Sweet dreams are made of this........!

I'd still rather the Force6. It's the released-to-customer version of the DriF6 car, but this one has fancier bodykit and interior options. The DriF6 is based directly off a Typhoon, which I also wouldn't be complaining with :)
