Post JUN Veyron Top Speed Car - designed to hit 500 km/h!



A while ago the Ultimate Aero SSC smashed Bugatti’s Veyron world speed record for production cars. If the old record was 407 km/h, the Aero was able to hit a top seed of 411 km/h. Of course this made Bugatti angry! And until they will be able to come with something faster, the tuning companies are trying to come with an idea!

We are talking in here about the first private tuning over a Veyron. The Jun Veyron now has a maximum power of 1413 hp!!! And is designed to hit a top speed of 500 km/h (310 mph!!!).

The first attempt to smash the world record will be made on April 7, and even if the Jun Veyron will not be albe to hit a top speed of 500 km/h, engineers are more than sure it will hit more than 411 km/h.

Stay tuned!

You know, I have been thinking of getting a car that goes more than 300 mph.

Does anyone know when I can get one?

Youd have to be on the salt flats to even use its full potential.

No surprise that it's yellow. I've always associated JUN with yellow

I guess it would be safe to assume that this car would also be that much quicker with regard to low and mid-range power for regular street driving. It was already very fast for street driving now it won't even be funny! I mean c'mon...your cruising at 60mph and need to change lanes...passing gear...whoops I just hit 130mph in about 1 second. lol
