[sparkplug]

Hahaha That's one way to blow a lot of money

[NZSHAKER]

How the F did it get in so far, must of been moving and lucky not to flip i reckon :goodjob:

[XUV]

They're all flat underneath , I think , would've skimmed like a skimming stone .

Wonder if they'll fix it or replace it ??

[vzss05]

Damm Pelicans:rofl:

Interesting that the rear wing isnt meant to be that high unless the key is inserted and it goes into 'super speed mode' , which means speeds over 220km/h , think someone might have been out 'test' driving :eek:

Isnt it the other way round?...the spoiler is put down for less drag in super slick mode by turning the key in the slot in the door sill.

I could be wrong.

i think you right with that one mate, less drag(downforce) equals higher top speed

from what i have seen on videos the spoiler is flat until about 250km/h then it pops up to provide stability in the rear, just what ive seen though

[KAL SPL]

It pops up to produce downforce to keep the bitch on the road as it has a flat under belly.


The car's everyday top speed is listed at 350 km/h. When the car reaches 220 km/h, hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 9 cm. At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. This is the "handling mode", in which the wing helps provide 3,425 newtons (770 lbf) of downforce, holding the car to the road, and helping the Bugatti Veyron preform 1.34 g forces on a 300 foot skidpad.[16] The driver must, using a special key (the "Top Speed Key"), toggle the lock to the left of his seat in order to attain the maximum (average) speed of 408 km/h. 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 shut and the ground clearance, normally 12.5 cm, drops to 6.5 cm.

From what i've seen on top gear, if the spoiler is turned off using the key, it will not come back up. Otherwise the veyron will not reach its top speed...

[XLR8 V8]

James May's top speed run shows it down all the way to 407km/h after he inserted the key next to the drivers door. He got it to pop up while slowing down by giving the brakes a slight tap, and the the spoiler pops back up as a air brake of sorts and to help keep the ass end stable as it slows.

[gasguz]

I reckon the wing is up because the driver had both feet trying to push the brake pedal through the floor trying to pull her up.

Some air brake facts
The Veyron’s brakes are another technological anomaly, using distinctive cross-drilled, turbine-vented carbine rotors, drawing in cooling air to reduce fade. Snapping into place within 0.4 seconds at a 55-degree angle, the rear wing acts as an air-brake. With this innovative technology, Bugatti claims the Veyron will brake from 249 mph to a standstill in less than 10 seconds!

It was a nice straight stretch of road which would have been good until the swim.

"Hello RACV Insurance... Yes I'd like to lodge a claim please".... :rofl:

What kind of retard puts his car in a lake!!!

[seedyrom]

I'm sure the owner didn't mean to. That's why they are called accidents and that is why we have insurance.

The towie is an idiot.

But you choose to wave his flag? :confused:

[Deco28]

HAHAHA, what a douche....

Pelican lolers... good old Mr. Percyville.

I do like how he washes his hands in the muddy water before reaching in and turning the wheel.

He wasnt even going that fast

[BOOGER]

I think under the circumstances a scratched rim from the tow chain is the least of his worries!!

[SINISTER R8]

bloody hell, not a nice place to park a million dollar supercar :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[pmac]

"what sort of car is it. i think its a lambo dude" LOL

"thats gonna be mine one day" good luck finding 1 in a lambo dealership

Lamest crash ever.

Douche on camera thinks its a Lambo, then it kinda just drives into the water.

Insurance job probably couldnt afford the repayments.:)
Unless he was on a test drive!!!

thats what i thought
drove in way to smooth and i couldn't see the pelican any where

[NeXuS_D]

Maybe he wanted his car washed :rofl:

[sparkplug]

Did he clip the grass/gravel? Can't really tell. If not how the hell did he drive straight into the water?

[Lincoln87]

looks like there was a proper road.. and he took the shoulder/side dirt road. that went towards the lake.

really.. looks like no one was steering nearly.



that car would be such a mess



and the tow'y on the wheel.. you expect him to scoooberdive and find the toe hook

[Boony405hp]

Supposidly dropped his phone first then looked up - bird, ahhh. Seemed to vee off course gently

[xshore]

I know they were in shock but wouldn't you say "let's make sure the guy isn't drowning" ?

"I'm pretty sure its a Lambo dude" haha

[lornjohn]

Because that is all he could reach, at least he didn't try the wing.....LOL

[snapper5.7L]

Veyron's all about big numbers. The wheels are 10,000 Pounds EACH. Tyres 2,500 Pounds each. So a full set of rims and tyres in 50,000 Pounds. And don't even get started on the indicator/wiper stalks...4,500 Pounds each. DAMN.
