Check THIS out!

Bit overkill isnt it?

Although, if the Top Gear video is true, then its easy to get away from it, just go around corner after corner at less than 30km/h and he will spin out from the lack of grip on the rears

Impressive nonetheless

is it possible to give a legnum that kind of power to weight ratio???? if you stripped out a legnum, how much do you think it would weigh??

 

[Guest]

probably only loose 2-300kg MAX.... so you'd need about 1500hp for the same power to weight ratio

*thinks* bugatti veyron with nos!! in legnum.....

 

[Guest]

lol... theres barely enough room for a twin turbo V6 in there, let alone a quad turbo W16

 

[RaZZa137]

eh, never know until you try, lolz n besides that i think the bugatti has 11 radiators, lolz n goes through 100litres of fuel in about 12 mins flat at top speed

i think the bugatti has 11 radiators

I think you'll find it's 10 heat exchangers

There's a REASON a Veyron is so expensive - its not just that it has massive power, its that it has massive power and you can open the throttle up and KEEP IT THERE until you run the tank dry (by which stage I REALLY hope your foot is off the accellerator pedal!!). Most high-boost turbos can only sustain a fully open throttle for around 60 seconds max before Very Bad Things start happening, which is usually more than enough time to hit max speed and come off the floor anyway.

You can pretty much forget about insane power with any real driveability without moving the engine to the rear. Having said that, stopping just short of insane can still be a hell of a lot of engine!

lol, i don't know why i remembered 11 radiators, but i think it was water to air intercooler so it needed radiators for that n power steering i think, wonder how big that engine bay is, porbably half the car, lolz

 

[Guest]

raz i think you shoul give it a go.. the legnum boot is big enuf..lol

 

[RaZZa137]

the boot + the back seats is big enough n nobody said anything about it being legal, lolz
