Some other guy said it in the comments too, credits to @And4224, but I guess the car isn't utilizing premium fuel. If I'm not wrong, you didn't mention anything about the fuel used in the car either. There might be some other setting to put the car in full power, other than just the Top Speed Key. Can you re-check and re-review it for us 😅 If not, we're curious as to what's going on because as unicorn of a car as it is, it was sad to not see its higher potential.
7:30 engine power gauge is showing 800hp during start up. it means that the car was in low power mode for 95 octane fuel. It can by change manualy for high octane fuel by pressing combination of the buttons on the console. The car won't detect octane rating by itself, it has to be change manualy
There is nothing in bugatti like low power mode or high power mode. The problem was probably low octane fuel. Its low compression engine, so its nedd high octane fuel.
For anyone wondering why the Veyron seem slow. Bottom left is the hp gauge, during the startup the needle only goes up to 800hp indicating the engine have been detune to 800hp for lower octane fuel. This is a feature of the Veyron which reduces the compression in the engine to compensate for the lower octane fuel. So no the Veyron is not broken
Compression is determined by the ratio between volume of cylinder with the piston at the bottom and volume of the cylinder at top dead center. Therefore it can not be changed without disassembling the engine and changing major components. Difference between low and high power modes is achieved by changing the boost pressure and ignition timing.
A couple of things which killed the run. First at 11:53 the traction control was activated. This automatically disengages the TOP SPEED mode and returns to HANDLING. The other thing that automatically disables TOP SPEED is if at any point you exceed more than 90° or 60° (forget which one of the 2 it was) of steering angle with the wheel. Also the car takes log of when it's been in service mode and when was the last time the tires were changed and it was serviced. If it's more than 12 months or has done more than 4 top speed runs on the same tires, it will go back into HANDLING and not allow you to exceed 333kmh. The last, but very unlikely thing is the fuel.
You are just coping, you do know that all those things would make the car completely useless in real life? How would you be able to enter the highway without turning the steering wheel? And why would ‘track mode’ so drastically lower the horsepower in lower speeds? This car is obviously not pushing more than 800hp at 250 km/h. We have to face reality, many 90s and early 00s supercars had made up specs and all these bans for independent reviewers was to hide that fact.
@@johanstjern4118 No he is correct, the top speed mode that you use the extra key slot for only works for straight line and if detects that you turn the wheel too much it takes it out of top speed mode, it does not mean that the steering is limited in anyway.

I was in a small little village in northern Italy, filling up the car at a small gas station. Then a Bugatti Veyron comes and parks next to us. The sickest car I have ever seen and a memory for life.💗
After 14 years, the Veyron is finally here and it's badly maintained, doesn't have full power and struggles above 300 like it has 650 hp. Also, it's a rental so probably cheap fuel and abuse also sickened some of the horses the engine makes, so that's why it doesn't pull how it should. This channel needs a fully functional Veyron and a test where it gets to at least 370 km/h.
The rental company only had it for a few months (and it's for sale again) and I believe it has never been rented out, because it is crazy expensive. There was good fuel in there tho, but I agree on the badly maintained part. Such cars need special attention.

You need to run the correct octane to get the full 1000hp but at the same time this car is 15 years old and would have lost some of its power...it switches to handling mode because one or multiple of the top speed checks failed or it's been detuned to a top speed of 330kph by the rental company...either way, still a legendary work of art!
Even though it's 15 year old, if you're rich enough to afford this car, you can definitely afford to maintain it extremely well. The car should be able to go more than 310 km/h.

might be wrong, but at 7:40 you can hear at startup an extreme fault warning chime. This is the same 3 chime sound Bentley and Volkswagen uses when a serious mechanical fault has occurred. Might explain why the car is underpowered.
@@xTurtleOWyep, I owned a 2002 W12 phaeton for a while and I still hear it in my nightmares sometimes. Its one sound you don’t want to hear from a W12, let alone a W16 😂
I remember from an old video, that in Top Speed Mode the steering wheel should only stay straight, if you corner even for a bit, the car won’t let you go from top speed
I love when we also see some older cars every now and then, since barely any of us can afford all these brand new cars... But seriously its such an amazing car. You can see that its a bit older, but it will never look outdated, Bugatti is doing such a good job with that
From the comments bellow i can see that you didn't study this car enough before driving it and make a video. You should come back with a second video for this masterpiece.
Congratulations, although I think you deserve the full Veyron experience. Buenavida is giving you the 2/3's experience. It seems sluggish, and floaty from 300km/h.
That spoiler should 100% be down when doing top speed. And when it said 800 hp at startup it's probably set for 95 octane. You have to manually change that. Don't ask me how but i've seen a video years ago about this.
A stock Turbo S with 650hp takes 5,9 seconds for 100-200, and this Bugatti with 1000hp takes 6,7? Thats very weird, i would argue it wasnt even using 800hp at that point
Timeless design, amazing car. Shame it didn't reach its limit but seeing the comments the car probably wasn't in top speed mode because of incorrect fuel and/or settings. Would love to another run when it truly is in top speed mode.
Not an hypercar fan, but out of all of them this one is the least intimidating. A car with so few corners isn't intimidating at all. A Lamborghini is a different story.
What a big milestone for the channel, I have waited for this for more than a decade...unbelievable what are we watching now and on Autobahn 💪💪💪 Best video ever
Man you are doing this job! Thanks a lot for this video. It doesn't matter if you reach top speed or not. You did it anyway. Finally we saw proper POV video. I hope we will see Chiron and Tourbillion in the future. 👍
Deze bekeken voor hij naar hun verkocht werd. Met afstand de meest gare veyron die ik ooit heb gezien, een hele hoop mis mee. Bak is versleten (vandaar ook dattie in noodloop ging, te zien aan het knipperen van de indicator), blok levert niet wat het zou moeten leveren enz enz. Geen lampjes, maar als je hem uitleest krijg je een paar kantjes A4 aan codes. Moet je wel een ton of 3 in duwen wil je hem echt netjes krijgen. Jammer van zo'n auto, maar ik ben blij dat ik hem destijds heb laten staan. Het was natuurlijk ook niet voor niets met afstand de cheapste.
@@reinierweerts6923 Hij is verkocht op de veiling van Troostwijk. Uiteindelijke prijs is niet bekend, maar het taxatierapport lag ruim 5 ton onder waar ze normaal voor getaxeerd worden, wat naar mijn mening een juiste taxatie was.
What I love about this comment section is the people that have never owned one, have actual information and valid opinions about what is wrong with the car, Love the internet.
@@derin111 I do that with physical training advice, binge watched professors and scientists and now I feel like I hacked the system lmao, its a great time we're living in
Well there are 100’s of clips where the Veyron performs much much better and it should do 100-200 in 4.6-4.7 sec, factory claim is 4.8 but in many cases the Veyron has more than claimed 1001 hp. There are many clips showing that the real power is between 1070hp and 1120, hence this Veyron is not 100%.
Amazing car and what an honor! But its clearly more 6-700hp than 1000 here. Saw a Enzo top speed run recently and it was pulling fast up to 340km/h and then accelerated at the pace this Veyron did at 300, the Veyron should pull harder than Enzo over 300kmh.
Totally. Dr. Piech was without peer. Amazing mind, and iron fisted managerial style to boot. The VW group got some insane engineering done for many a year topping off with this one. Just brilliant he was😁
From some of the comments I understood that the car didn't perform as it should, bear in mind it needs the perfect combination of fuel, cold weather, rubber and the second key to unlock it's full potential. She's almost 20 years old after all and the tech at the time was mind blowing.
Not true at all bs that car should perform at 1001 easy everytime its a million dollar car your wrong i been in them this has been monkied with by monkeys
Is it me or does this particular Veyron not have its full power? It seems painfully slow above 300 for what it is. 6.76 100-200, a G80 M3 CS does it in 7.2. Something is amiss here.
@@bobbob807 it also did the three beeps of doom VW group cars make at startup when there's something wrong. The engine needs to be looked at. Not surprising considering the delicate works of engineering these things are.
I remember the first time I saw a Veyron was at Goodwood festival of speed in 2006 and the sound from it is incredible. The engineering gone into it is truly extraordinary . For me though I never liked the look of it but that is just my opinion.
its an older car now it must have lost quite a bit of its power especially because its a rental car its gonna have more miles put on it in a short period of time compered to what a normal hypercar would get
The guy above you just explained that the car was in low power mode due to been set to 95 octane fuel. That is why the gauge was showing 800hp as it started up. haha, you were spot on I guess. Because it was only running with 800hp.
I think touching the brakes and/or applying a certain amount of steering lock, among other things, will disengage top speed mode. So it’ll be difficult to do on the public road. Doesn’t seem like that particular car is running 100% though or it’s been left in handling mode.
Touching the brakes or steering does nothing to disengage top speed mode. It should stay inthere until you turn the key back to handling, or until the car detects a failure of sorts. Having viewed this car a while ago, yeahno its pretty badly maintained and has all sorts of issues. Other ones i drove felt like they pulled twice as hard above 200 compared to this one. And, sidenote, it gets to 360-370 quite quickly in handing mode, if everything is in order.
@@Car10121-s If you'd watched the video, you'd already have seen enough to know you're wrong in your assumptions. Other than that, and just as example, speed mode does not get disabled by steering to a certain degree. What it does do, is restrict steering. That's something completely different. I've driven plenty of these to know what does and does not work in speed mode, and what throws it back into handling mode.
@@kealke I watched the video so what was wrong with my explanation? Restricting the steering how? Because that make no sense to me and just sounds dangerous
people are forgetting that the Veyron is a car that's about 15+ years old, 400km is definitely going to be tough for it since that's the top speed unless in a closed long straight, i still think it's fast enough for a 15 year old car y'all stop comparing it modern hyper cars like the Chiron. Be respectful to the OG
Impressive how the speed of the speedometer is equal to that of the gps even at high speeds, never seen a car with this precise measurement. This also shows how Bugatti is well engineered in every detail and that the attention to high speeds is just the hallmark of this brand.
@AutoTopnl 23 hours ago (edited) * there was 102 octane in the car Oh Ok, so something was not correct with the engine and/or software probably? I'm gonna wait for another video from you guys, some day saying "Veyron take 2: now it's going!!!!" hahaha :D this great channel deserves the justice of testing a full power Veyron, i wanna hear Max's legendary "holly mollyyyyyyy"...or even better, a Chiron some day...
On all these channels presenting a bugatti there is always a passanger - they never let you drive their bugatti without supervision, the owner is always there.
no, the attention was from the media but pointless since they did nothing wrong. also, there are like 10.000 others that did the same thing with various cars. it is not reckless driving, it depends. and it went way more than 400
It was Czech bussinessman Radim Passer. Had an opportunity to hear his son Radim Jr. talk about the Chiron run as a passanger. He also mentioned just how faster Chiron is than Veyron.
Wow I’m absolutely astonished, I’ve been a viewer for a while now and I’ve been waiting for the day you do a review on a Bugatti. This really shows how far you’ve come, good on you, keep it up😊
Bro should realize how fortunate he was to get an opportunity to drive a VEYRON at top speed in the GERMAN AUTOBAHN , the veyron is absolutely dope , considering it's more than 14 years old , bugatti engineers made such a HUGE W with this HYPERCAR , owning one someday is such a WILD DREAM , WHAT A CAR !!!!!!!!! :)
I would love to have this beauty just for the status, feel and presence it offers....who cares about 400+ when you don't even use the quarter of its power on daily basis ....I'm pretty sure the owner has done some modifications to limit its top speed since its a rental car....even amateurs can rent this untamed beast and runs into a disaster....its good that this beast is tamed
I would like to note that this is not only the first video on the channel with Bugatti, but also the only one on YT showing the capabilities of this hyper car on the autobahn.
Something wrong with people in the live chat saying it's slower "my old mercedes is faster" "my hellcat is better and faster" 💀 They don't realize that this was the first ever bugatti that was the world's fastest car as well as it is still now in my opinion its a old 20 years car? or 10 years correct me if I'm wrong but, it's still faster then 99% of the cars on road as well as some people in the chat saying it's slow 😭no way this is called slow in 2024 most of them don't even buy the money to buy.
The car’s full potential wasn’t completely shown in the video, but it’s still great video. I’ve always loved the Veyron, and for some reason I think it looks best in white. I’m planning to buy white Veyron and Chiron
Because Bugatti was fully owned by VW at the time. The Veyron was mainly developed by VW and therefore shares alot of parts with cars from Audi and VW.
100-200 should be 5 seconds or less. It’s evident this thing is detuned or running some really octane fuel. Still… it’s awesome to finally see the original world-beater on this channel
I love how the guy in the backround at the start is just happily taking pictures with his phone at the car, my guy was excited like a kid on christmas when he saw it
A Bugatti Veyron owner on Miami told me that to get the full 1001hp it needs at least 105 octane gas, with normal 98 octane gas it will be limited to 880hp if I remember correctly. That's probably why it was never going over 900 on the hp gauge, maybe the knocking sensors on the engine were detecting something and not letting it make all the power.

No it’s not it’s 800 because it’s low octane fuel
Toguro not oiled up yet
@@bobbob807no in another reaction they mentioned putting 102 octane in the car. Meaning the car itself is facing problems not the fuel
So how do you make it go vroom?
That's 472.2hp. Veyron's dragcoefficient(lowered)=0.36Cd Frontal area=22.3Sqft weight=1888kg Means it needs 472.2hp to maintain 321kmph.
Here we are, this is it, a 700hp Bugatti Veyron
I would also go so far as to give the car only 550 HP.😮
Disappointing. All these years of waiting for them to drive one, and this is what we get. 😔

Could have been dangerous
Almost 20 years old and it’s still a crazy piece of engineering!
You need to run the correct octane to get the full 1000hp but at the same time this car is 15 years old and would have lost some of its power...it switches to handling mode because one or multiple of the top speed checks failed or it's been detuned to a top speed of 330kph by the rental company...either way, still a legendary work of art!
Check his pinned comment, he used 102 octane. Car is just old and detuned like you mentioned.
Even though it's 15 year old, if you're rich enough to afford this car, you can definitely afford to maintain it extremely well. The car should be able to go more than 310 km/h.
It didn't lose power because of age.
I understand history but not having been able to use the engine 100% in such a special occasion for your channel is a bit sad
So sad 😔
Din't worry they'll sort this out sooner or later.
@@blertaer4692 I'm sure, but we may never see a second video again

Shame the car wasn't making full power or staying in top speed mode however the fact you guys have finally been able to drive such an iconic car is just... WOW. As always thanks for the amazing review, hopefully sometime in the future we might get a re-run with full power! :)
might be wrong, but at 7:40 you can hear at startup an extreme fault warning chime. This is the same 3 chime sound Bentley and Volkswagen uses when a serious mechanical fault has occurred.
Might explain why the car is underpowered.

Such brilliant engineering, all undone by the Rimac Neveras simplicity.
I remember from an old video, that in Top Speed Mode the steering wheel should only stay straight, if you corner even for a bit, the car won’t let you go from top speed
I love when we also see some older cars every now and then, since barely any of us can afford all these brand new cars...
But seriously its such an amazing car. You can see that its a bit older, but it will never look outdated, Bugatti is doing such a good job with that
A neck breaker for sure
It will never age tbh, it’s too bulbous and curvy for it to age terribly
From the comments bellow i can see that you didn't study this car enough before driving it and make a video. You should come back with a second video for this masterpiece.
Congratulations, although I think you deserve the full Veyron experience. Buenavida is giving you the 2/3's experience. It seems sluggish, and floaty from 300km/h.
That spoiler should 100% be down when doing top speed. And when it said 800 hp at startup it's probably set for 95 octane. You have to manually change that. Don't ask me how but i've seen a video years ago about this.

A stock Turbo S with 650hp takes 5,9 seconds for 100-200, and this Bugatti with 1000hp takes 6,7?
Thats very weird, i would argue it wasnt even using 800hp at that point
Timeless design, amazing car. Shame it didn't reach its limit but seeing the comments the car probably wasn't in top speed mode because of incorrect fuel and/or settings. Would love to another run when it truly is in top speed mode.
nearly 2 decades later and this car is still so intimidating
not really
It looks like a candy
I mean, I like those cars, but it really shows its age. its not that impressive anymore
Damn bro really?@@OfficialZeniFlow
Not an hypercar fan, but out of all of them this one is the least intimidating. A car with so few corners isn't intimidating at all. A Lamborghini is a different story.
Either the engine is broken or the handbrake is on, that makes 400km/h easy.

They already did a review on a Chiron SS 2 years ago so they already have
@ninjata06 yeah, but that was with a babysitter as a passenger
What a big milestone for the channel, I have waited for this for more than a decade...unbelievable what are we watching now and on Autobahn 💪💪💪
Best video ever
Man you are doing this job! Thanks a lot for this video. It doesn't matter if you reach top speed or not. You did it anyway. Finally we saw proper POV video. I hope we will see Chiron and Tourbillion in the future. 👍
imagine being that truck driver on the autobahn and a bugatti blows by you at 200+ mph 🤯 such a good review really enjoyed it!
Deze bekeken voor hij naar hun verkocht werd. Met afstand de meest gare veyron die ik ooit heb gezien, een hele hoop mis mee. Bak is versleten (vandaar ook dattie in noodloop ging, te zien aan het knipperen van de indicator), blok levert niet wat het zou moeten leveren enz enz. Geen lampjes, maar als je hem uitleest krijg je een paar kantjes A4 aan codes.
Moet je wel een ton of 3 in duwen wil je hem echt netjes krijgen. Jammer van zo'n auto, maar ik ben blij dat ik hem destijds heb laten staan. Het was natuurlijk ook niet voor niets met afstand de cheapste.
Wat werd er voor gevraagd / wat is de op een na cheapste?

@@reinierweerts6923 Hij is verkocht op de veiling van Troostwijk. Uiteindelijke prijs is niet bekend, maar het taxatierapport lag ruim 5 ton onder waar ze normaal voor getaxeerd worden, wat naar mijn mening een juiste taxatie was.

@@derin111 I do that with physical training advice, binge watched professors and scientists and now I feel like I hacked the system lmao, its a great time we're living in
Well there are 100’s of clips where the Veyron performs much much better and it should do 100-200 in 4.6-4.7 sec, factory claim is 4.8 but in many cases the Veyron has more than claimed 1001 hp. There are many clips showing that the real power is between 1070hp and 1120, hence this Veyron is not 100%.
Amazing car and what an honor! But its clearly more 6-700hp than 1000 here. Saw a Enzo top speed run recently and it was pulling fast up to 340km/h and then accelerated at the pace this Veyron did at 300, the Veyron should pull harder than Enzo over 300kmh.
Totally. Dr. Piech was without peer. Amazing mind, and iron fisted managerial style to boot. The VW group got some insane engineering done for many a year topping off with this one. Just brilliant he was😁
From some of the comments I understood that the car didn't perform as it should, bear in mind it needs the perfect combination of fuel, cold weather, rubber and the second key to unlock it's full potential. She's almost 20 years old after all and the tech at the time was mind blowing.
Actually it was not. Its grandpa, the eb110 had 4 turbos too
Nothing irl is perfect. The conditions in this video are more than enough to reach its full potential. The car is faulty or detuned.
Not true at all bs that car should perform at 1001 easy everytime its a million dollar car your wrong i been in them this has been monkied with by monkeys
We got Autotopnl reviewing a Bugatti Veyron before GTA VI
They already did a review on a Chiron SS 2 years ago so it's no big deal
@@ninjata06 ah, forgot about that
Is it me or does this particular Veyron not have its full power? It seems painfully slow above 300 for what it is. 6.76 100-200, a G80 M3 CS does it in 7.2. Something is amiss here.
Its a rental probably tuned it down so people don’t crash
You can see at the start that it’s on low octane mode so only runs 800 hp
Spreading stupid misinformation are we?
@@SirAMG63 where is the misinformation boy? Just asking
@@bobbob807 it also did the three beeps of doom VW group cars make at startup when there's something wrong. The engine needs to be looked at. Not surprising considering the delicate works of engineering these things are.
Iconic car. I can see these going up big time in 40-50 years
I remember the first time I saw a Veyron was at Goodwood festival of speed in 2006 and the sound from it is incredible. The engineering gone into it is truly extraordinary . For me though I never liked the look of it but that is just my opinion.
Finally old bugatti veyron my dreamcar on review
It supposed to run 4.3 not 6.7 100-200
It’s running on low octane fuel so missing 1/4 of its power
Normally about 5.5s from 100-200kmh :) @ 950hp +
All good and very nice video but i am not sure about 1000hp for 1.8 tonns 6 second 100-200 and after 300 its pulling like a stage 2 m5 with 800hp
its an older car now it must have lost quite a bit of its power especially because its a rental car its gonna have more miles put on it in a short period of time compered to what a normal hypercar would get
The guy above you just explained that the car was in low power mode due to been set to 95 octane fuel. That is why the gauge was showing 800hp as it started up. haha, you were spot on I guess. Because it was only running with 800hp.
@@ismetefesanic4509 nope, it wasn't set to the right octane mode, so it only had 800hp.
Makes sense man as he would run out of fuel at max speed before video ends @@Pia-ho9dm
you cannot compare shitty tuned cars to this, the difference is this one lasts while the others break down all the time.
Thanks for review. I was a bit on a fence on this one. But I will place an order.
9:15 bro that is the best way of saying it. The veyron doesn't just accelerate, _it accumulates speed_ .
Huge milestone for AutoTopNL
Not really they already did a review on a Chiron SS 2 years ago so it's no big deal
@@ninjata06 never a Bugatti top speed test on the autobahn tho
@@shahzainkhan520 yeah i guess you're right
I think touching the brakes and/or applying a certain amount of steering lock, among other things, will disengage top speed mode. So it’ll be difficult to do on the public road.
Doesn’t seem like that particular car is running 100% though or it’s been left in handling mode.
Touching the brakes or steering does nothing to disengage top speed mode. It should stay inthere until you turn the key back to handling, or until the car detects a failure of sorts. Having viewed this car a while ago, yeahno its pretty badly maintained and has all sorts of issues. Other ones i drove felt like they pulled twice as hard above 200 compared to this one.
And, sidenote, it gets to 360-370 quite quickly in handing mode, if everything is in order.
It’s on low octane fuel mode so essentially loses 1/4 of its hp
I haven’t pulled the information out of thin air, if you’re that familiar with the car then you’d know the specifics about being in top speed mode.
@@Car10121-s If you'd watched the video, you'd already have seen enough to know you're wrong in your assumptions.
Other than that, and just as example, speed mode does not get disabled by steering to a certain degree. What it does do, is restrict steering. That's something completely different.
I've driven plenty of these to know what does and does not work in speed mode, and what throws it back into handling mode.
@@kealke I watched the video so what was wrong with my explanation?
Restricting the steering how? Because that make no sense to me and just sounds dangerous
Bring another Veyron this one has a problem for sure !
people are forgetting that the Veyron is a car that's about 15+ years old, 400km is definitely going to be tough for it since that's the top speed unless in a closed long straight, i still think it's fast enough for a 15 year old car y'all stop comparing it modern hyper cars like the Chiron. Be respectful to the OG
Impressive how the speed of the speedometer is equal to that of the gps even at high speeds, never seen a car with this precise measurement. This also shows how Bugatti is well engineered in every detail and that the attention to high speeds is just the hallmark of this brand.
The car not running right and still reaching 200mph is pretty wild to me. Hopefully they get it sorted and let you have another go.
That would be great!
@AutoTopnl 23 hours ago (edited) * there was 102 octane in the car
Oh Ok, so something was not correct with the engine and/or software probably?

This video will blow up
On all these channels presenting a bugatti there is always a passanger - they never let you drive their bugatti without supervision, the owner is always there.
One man drove his Veyron and Chiron here on the autobahn upto 400kmh. But they ended up getting attention from the German police for reckless driving.
And then they dismissed the case because the car is built for it
no, the attention was from the media but pointless since they did nothing wrong.
also, there are like 10.000 others that did the same thing with various cars.
it is not reckless driving, it depends.
and it went way more than 400

Greetings to everyone from Turkey 🇹🇷
100-200 should be 5 seconds or less. It’s evident this thing is detuned or running some really octane fuel. Still… it’s awesome to finally see the original world-beater on this channel
I love how the guy in the backround at the start is just happily taking pictures with his phone at the car, my guy was excited like a kid on christmas when he saw it
A Bugatti Veyron owner on Miami told me that to get the full 1001hp it needs at least 105 octane gas, with normal 98 octane gas it will be limited to 880hp if I remember correctly. That's probably why it was never going over 900 on the hp gauge, maybe the knocking sensors on the engine were detecting something and not letting it make all the power.
