All these so called Veyron beaters are really doing my head in now. The fact is you could make any car faster than a veyron if you have a big enough engine, a Veyron is all about the refinement and ease of use whilst having that much power.

first ive heard of a veyron beater..

Alex_6n2 · 6 Dec 2007 at 22:13

This one has long been outted as fake iirc.

However the above is true. There are loads of cars that are faster than the Veyron. Who cares. There are NO cars that can do that speed as easily/comfortably/often/repeatedly/you get the drift as the Veyron. It's not just about ultimate speed

KiNgPiN83 · 6 Dec 2007 at 22:14

Over a year old and Barabus website has seemingly vanished.

Can't say i'll be holding out much hope tbh.

It's rubbish, so is the top speed claim. Just look at the engine bay pic, looks like it's been hashed up by some bloke in a shed (not in a good way) and is using steal kick plate from a hardware shop to separate the engine from the cabin!

Is it me, or do all of those pictures look like the car has been 'shopped in? Looks suspicious to me.

trying too hard to be better than a car which in it's very nature is trying too hard in general. so basically the worst of the worst.

Can't agree more, its moronic. Most of these so called Veyron beaters are plain dangerous to drive from the reports I've seen. The veyron seems to have been consitently reviewed as stunningly easy to drive.

That is most certainly NOT an F1 car.

Gonzo0 · 6 Dec 2007 at 23:03

The Koenigsegg CCXR is faster than the veyron, and runs on biofuel

Akira · 6 Dec 2007 at 23:09

Best Veyron beater ever

Agreed. Looks more like a American Champ (Pronounced 'Cheap') Car. Tho not sure if they're still using 'Stick Shift' or not (like in the vid)

Still impressive and very brave driving tho :eek:

Its an F3000 car (says so in the video).

Only problem is I don't think any millionnaire would pay to have that hunk of ugly junk in his garage:

I don't think that company quite understands their market.
