While at the Goodwood Festival of speed in July 2008 i saw 3 Bugatti Veyrons, well 3 in the super car paddock and one in the Goodwood hotel car park so in actual fact i saw 4. There were some very rich people attending!  It was the first time i had seen a Veyron up close, i thought i might mave seen one at the MPH show last year but was left dissapointed.

The presence the car had was incredible it just sucked you over to have a look and admire it, there were many Ferraris, Aston Martins, Bentley, Ariel Atom, etc you get the point but the Bugatti was amazing. One one the best things about Goodwood festival of speed is that pretty much all the cars there complete the hill climb. Bearing in mind these cars are worth a stupid amount of money its amazing to see them in action blasting up the track.

Before the supercars were about to go up the hill, including the Veyron i cought it on camera leaving the supercar paddock on its way to the start line. Check it out:

The car has SLR carbon ceramic brakes which Mercedes claim are fade resistant to 1,200 degrees c. The ceramic brakes are needed when you consider the mount of power the car has under the bonnet. The Mercedes SLR has 5.4 litre engine as standard which is a supercharged V8. The V8 engine powers the car from 0-62 MPH in 3.2 seconds. and goes to 224 mph top speed. The SLR is similar in speed to the Porsche Carrera GT around a track but personally i think the SLR is far better looking and sounds fantastic. The SLR racing car especially looks like its ment to be driven on the track hard. Lewis Hamilton drove the Mercedes SLR up the Goodwood hill climb on Sunday 13th July 2008, although i havent got footage of Lewis at Goodwood yet…..check out the video below of Lewis Hamilton doing a hotlap on the Mercedes SLR.

Aston Martin is the gentleman’s supercar. And one of the most stunning pieces of machinery to ever grace the road. Out of all the supercars available I think I would have to try out the Aston Martin first, however I think I would spend most time just looking at it.

The Aston Martin is hand built and features very fine detail in the car from the wood, the push button start and stitching In the seats. This car oozes style and class!

The performance of the Aston Martin V8 match its stunning looks. The car features a 4.7 litre V8 engine producing 420 bhp propelling the Aston to 180mph and 0.62 mph in 4.9 seconds.

The Video below sums up really well what driving a Aston is all about, Enjoy!

Instead of a driving day experience of one supercar why not have the experience of driving a selection of supercars including

Ferrari 360 spider

The Ferrari 360 first came into production in 1999 and replaced the Ferrari F355.

The Ferrari 360 is capable of reaching 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 186mph. not as fast as the Lamborghini Gallardo but still very quick. The ferrari
360 redlines at an screaming 8500 rpm and sounds fantastic.

Lamborghini Murcielago Driving day

The Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the best performing cars in the world so why not try driving one and buy a lamborghini day driving experience
The Lamborghini Murcielago produces 570bhp with a top speed of 200mph! The Lambotghini Murcielago reaches 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds with an
outstanding 6.2 litre v12 engine.

All the power provided by the Murcielago can be enjoyed with luxurious comfort.

Track day driving experiences can also be enjoyed in other Lamborghinis such as the Lamborghini Gallardo.

The Lamborghini Gallardo is slightly slower than the Murcielago with a top speed of 196mph achieving its 0-60 sprint slightly slower than the
Murcielago at 4.0 seconds.

Lamborghini have also released roadster and spider versions of the Lamborghini Gallardo and Spyder. These open top cars look stunning, the

and most owners will take there convertible Lamborghini out in nice hot days so roof operation is not important.
