^ Exactly why Gordon Murray's new little city car thing has the potential to have far greater impact than his long-time-record-holder Mclaren F1 ever could.
It won't come until 2013? It doesn't seem like that extensive of a re-engineering.

All about the t-tops
i know that the auto express artical was rubish and i don't like the veyron that much, but apparentley they have Already sold over 300 veyron over the past 5 year, (300 coupes, 150 grand sports, 30 super sports) i maybe Wrong but i am only going of auto express.

If they make a new one, it seriously needs to lose weight. They need to take the new approach that Lamborghini plans to (faster through lightweight; 1200hp is more than enough).
As for whoever said it will not have the impact of the current Veyron, I agree with you, as that is a very valid point. If a new Veyron is made, it will most likely not have the shock value the current one had in its 2005 introduction.
Buy a car for you, not for other people
True. But I don't think they're going for shock value. Just because a car is no longer devastating to the world of motoring, doesn't mean it shouldn't be built :|

Yeah because Lamborghini has been historically known for light weight cars...
For that matter, they have have yet to build a tub car AFAIK, and Veyron actually has a carbon tub....
A 16 cylinder engine with a dozen cooler and 4 turbos are not going to be light to start with, along with the associated hardware that can handle that power in drivetrain and transmission....Veyron can be made lighter if its a much simpler car devoid of all that stuff, but then it wouldn't have been a Veyron...

Lamborghini will help alot i mean look what they Achieved, the Sesto Elemento Concept. 999kg, that an Amazing car. but i think this new veyron will be pointless. like other people have said it will never have the same impact as the first on.

I don't think this new Veyron will be anything.
I think there's a very good chance that the story is a complete fabrication.
The 16C could make it to production.
the SS was already a worthy update
article has to be BS , your not going to get another 12 MPH just by dropping 100 KG

2 mph. The SS hit a two way average of 268mph.
Life's too short to drive bad cars.
