Love that moveable aerodynamic device; air brake. It might be a little scary for the cars you're passing when you suddenly jump on the brakes for the corner and it flips up.

these cars that brake very fast are posing as a threat to other drivers too
especially the cars without carbon ceramic braking and airbrakes driving behind cars that do

with a veyron, u not only have to plan ahead when stepping on the gas pedal
but u have to plan ahead when u step on the brake pedal too in the city where car distances are close

I'll remember that next time I catch myself behind a Veryon.

Heck, I have that problem with my 2IS... I've had to repeatedly swerve onto the shoulder during an emergency stop, not to avoid hitting the car in front, but to avoid the car behind me from plowing into me.

Thanks for the video.

Yeah, a fast car but rarely have I seen a video that devotes a good deal (very important though) time to the braking system. Down here, so many people who speed rarely think of the brakes and literally want you to get out of their way instead. Not happening with me in front.

The Bugatti is phenomenal!! Although, I still prefer the McLaren LM over this but I truly apreciate this magnificient piece of machinery. I would love to have them both! Thanx a lot for this upload.. Bugatti Veyron compared upcoming Ferrari P4/5..I hear pricetag. I was shocked 4 millions three times expensive than an Ferrari Enzo....what a dumb *** Italian marketing...
