This just happened to me...terrible scraping noise then suddenly stopped. Something was in between pad and rotor. You could see where it was etching the rotor...ouch! Initially thought it was maybe the pad wearing out but there was plenty left.

not to sure about the treatment outside, but I really LIKE what they did with the interior.

Why the heck did they do the interior in white!

I sat in one and the car looks a lot bigger in pictures than in person.
IMO,the stock interior looks a lot nicer.

In any case, I think VAG engineers are indeed busy working on adding more horsepower and torque to the W16 engine (that the Veyron uses). That is because they're thinking of taking the performance crown (which was stolen by the SSC Ultimate Aero vehicle)......

No matter what they do they cant make it a pur sang or sang noir. They are limited runs ( 15 cars ) of the fastest and arguably the most exspensive car in the world. This vincero is not going to be that popular. The owners of these cars would rather have their own personal touches added by bugatti vis rarer breeds of the veyron grand sport
