Ferrari FXX K

[Steve Williams]

Here is a pretty tragic video of a Veyron:

OMG...I wonder how that happened driving on a straight road. Maybe the driver fell asleep at the wheel ?

that's an old video that has quite a story.

Apparently the owner of the car was the dealer who intentionally crashed the car to collect insurance money

Yes, and I think I first read about the case in the Wall Street Journal.

The new Tesla P85D does 0 to 60 in 3.2sec and holds 5 adults and 2 kids. It also get the equivalent of more than 80 mpg. However, you can only buy about 20 of them for the price of one FXX K. It doesn't have gull wings, but the new Tesla Model X coming out next fall does.

Or you can buy 60 sets of the new Tara speaker cables. :b

Well when you put it that way it makes a sports car seem quite silly indeed.

All types of speakers have greatness, but I believe these are horns.

Yeah ,just as most audiphile claims are backed by real science ,......????
But lets not ruin this fantastic automobile thread , it was merely meant as a joke

OK deleted my post

Those supercars point however to a more silent future. More and more are hybrid and we may soon long for the noise (music) of a petrol (V8 or V12) engine as some are for LP megastores ... Then again some companies have taken the route of piping synthesized engine noise in the cockpit

On the track , one more reason to get into computer audio over the mainsystem

Yeah regarding the Veyron crash, the first thought that went through my head after seeing the video was that the car had obviously been crashed for the insurance money. Interesting to have that thought confirmed after all this time.

I would not kick any recent Ferrari out of the garage!
