^ Won't ever see anything like that on I-35! Some yahoo would be doing 50mph in the Left Lane.

(Note to self - if ever on the Autobahn make sure to hug the shoulder in the far right lane)

Watch the video. It isn't.
i watched it. All the graphics throughout the video look perfect and computer animated. Once they show the people and the actual Bugatti, everything is grainy. I don't believe for a second the video is anything other than a computer game.

As an example. Look at the truck in the very beginning. Sorry, doesn't look real at all.
That is totally a video game capture. Pretty realistic, but it isn't real. You see the same stuff on YouTube with airplanes as well. Highly realistic flight simulators, but not actual cockpit videos.

Yes, definitely video game, but I did find the real video:

Maybe that one is a video game, but Germany is taking it serious.

My son does 3D graphical animation for a living.

I'll have him take a look at it.

Could not imagine, I have been up to a sustained 145 mph in an old (1970) 911 it was planted but you could feel the twitchyness, could not imagine another 100 MPH on top of that.

as much of a redneck as I am and love all V8 sounds, the sound of a flat plane V10/V12 from any of the supercar/hypercars are awesome. The Lambo V12 will always get me giggly when watching Cannonball Run movies lol
Lambo will just have to resort to what Ford does - pipe those throaty V engine ice sounds of yesteryear into the cabin, always makes me think I have a powerful V8 stuffed under the hood of my Ranger ;) and of course pigs can really fly !

What does Ford and Bugatti have in common ? Vehicles that are sold out into the future, link to article from Bugatti's CEO saying the Chiron is sold out and top speed is limited to 261 mph. from the article, typical buyer :

"They usually have a collection of about 30 cars in their household," Winkelmann told us. "They also have ships, houses, and private planes."

Some Bugatti fun on the Autobahn. Roughly 260mph.

This run has the Germans talking about ending the unlimited sections of the Autobahn again.

Edit - the actual real life run is what has them looking at ending it, not this simulator lol
