  • Bugatti Chiron top speed run

    While most owners of the Bugatti Chiron will never come close to the top speed potential of their cars, some are more than happy to push their cars to the limit. One owner recently did just that at the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds in Merritt Island, Florida, a site with a 2.3-mile straight that used to serve as a landing strip for the space shuttle program. The run was made during one of the public Straight Line Aerodynamic Testing days held at the site, where up to 30 drivers can take their cars to the limit in a safe environment. As the video shows, the Chiron has no problem reaching its...

  • Bugatti Veyron owner hits 250 mph on the Autobahn

    Driving a Bugatti Veyron has to leave you always wanting more. That's because the top speed is likely to remain an ever elusive target. The average person, even the "average" Bugatti owner, simply doesn't have enough space to see just how far they can push the machine. Radim Passer isn't your average Veyron owner. After a lot of planning, a few not-quite fast enough attempts, and some recalibration with the car itself, Radim achieved his goal of hitting 250 mph in his Veyron, which is just shy of the car's tested 254 mph top speed. The planning involved finding the right road. That lead Radim...
