Should you really video your Bugatti Veyron doing 225 mph?

According to the posters of this video, the several runs of a Bugatti Veyron up to speeds of 225 mph took place "south of the border." How they end up getting pulled over by an Arizona Highway Patrol car at the end might be a bit puzzling. Also: You really shouldn't do this.

Yes, there's probably no better car in the world to wind up north of 200 mph than a Veyron; as the video shows, there's an absolute lack of drama within the cockpit at those speeds. Clearly this took some setup, with friends manning cameras and parked along the side of the road as lookouts.

But if you have access to a Veyron, and want to wind it up past the double century mark, you also likely have the resources to find a racetrack that would let you run a few laps, rather than shooting down a road where one unexpected animal could ruin the day. Wonder what the trooper had to say when confronted with a Veyron and a driver in a racing suit.

    If you are driving a Bugatti then a speeding ticket is not a problem.

      depends on where you are. I got pulled over in my srt8 at 131 in a 65 in Montana, talked with the officer who at first was a little miffed I got off with a 40 dollar ticket. You really need to be a good bullshitter when it's needed or know when to stfu lol.

      the fine and jail time should be enough to make you sell the car to pay the fine

      its not a ticket, its a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving AND/or reckless endangerment since he had people in the car.

    Why did he stop? It's not like if the cop car was going to catch up.

      You ever try to outrun radio?
    • alb505 3 months ago
      Yes, and it has worked. you can see others do it by going on youtube. its risky and will get the book thrown at you if you fail but it does happen, and alot more than you think if you keep using the radio reference.

      just because the radio transmission is as fast as light doesnt mean the information is any good.

      Why do you guys keep bringing up the cannon ball line.

      but it was all stagged anyways.

      No turn offs on the road. In order to outrun a cop OR his radio you would need variables not a straight line.

    I was in my 84 Yugo a couple of weeks ago. My friend was shooting video from the passenger seat while I called out speeds of up to 55 MPH (that's right, don't be jealous). In the end, I was pulled over by a bicycle cop. The ticket was more than the car is worth. Damn those San Francisco hills, making me push the limits like that!! I could have hit a homeless guy, like in that movie "The Crow".

    Judge: "You are charged with doing 225 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone, how do you plead?"
    Defendant: "Insanity."

    Why do people wear racing suits w/o a helmet? That is like wearing a condom with the top cut off..

    Several years ago I was driving in Southern Utah on I-15. I was going pretty fast, 90 mph, but so was everyone else. I saw the flashing lights of a highway patrol cruiser in my rearview mirror and, being a law-abiding citizen (except for speeding), I pulled over. The Trooper walked up and told me he was going to give me a ticket for speeding. I cried "yeah, but why me? Everyone else was speeding too"! He replied, "yeah, but you were the only one who stopped"!

  • Andy  •  Phoenix, Arizona  •  3 months ago
    Lol he was on I-8 just south of Casa Grande, looks like 15-20 miles west of the I-10 cross. Its a popular place for racing because as you can see, there are very very few cars.

    It's all fun and games until a rancher pulls out on the road towing a horse trailer.
  • TomJ  •  Chicago, Illinois  •  3 months ago
    The pullover by state patrol is an edit. It didn't happen at 215mph. Notice the traffic. He was prob on the interstate after his fun, going over 65 but under 120...just my thought.

    Just knowing I drove a car that could go that fast is enough for me lol
