Quote:
Like all masterpieces, the Veyron evinces an off-kilter brush stroke or two. For starters, even at the most forgiving of its three ride heights (4.9 inches), it hates curbs, speed bumps, automatic carwashes, and dead animals, which it scoops up as if performing community service. It has the turning radius (39.3 feet) of a Navy minesweeper. There is no 12-volt outlet, so you’ll want to own a battery-powered radar detector. And the carbon-fiber sport seats are adjusted manually. To raise or lower their height, in fact, they must be removed. By the dealer.
What’s more, the Veyron proffers the ride of a Mitsubishi Evo that has been modified for professional drifting. Step-off is unpredictable and sometimes abrupt, accompanied by a not-so-charming clunk from the gearbox. And the W-16’s numerous fans, its 64 valves, and its four furiously spinning turbos create an engine note that sounds like an idling Blackhawk helicopter’s. It whooshes, whirs, and whines. No crisp crackling of pistons, as from a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.
Combine that with tires as pliable as mahogany—they must, after all, withstand 253 mph—and you summon the full panoply of noises that luxocar engineers work so diligently to eradicate: tire thrum, boom, crash-through, tread roar, impact echo, and blasts from expansion strips that sound like the guns of Navarone. At a 70-mph cruise, the Veyron is 8 dB noisier than a Porsche 911 GT2. At full throttle, it is 6 dB noisier than a track-ready Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR. It’s like living inside a snare drum. Those of us who sampled the radio said it wasn’t very good, but it was hard to tell. We couldn’t really hear it.

Deci se pare ca nu e asa practica & confortabila after all..
Faza cu reglatul scaunelor insa mi se pare geniala:
"And the carbon-fiber sport seats are adjusted manually. To raise or lower their height, in fact, they must be removed. By the dealer."
Nu stiu de ce dar am impresia ca la zonda f pot sa-ti reglezi scaunul si fara sa trebuiasca sa dai o fuga pe la dealer..
