Theres a few of these around my area lol to say their impractical would be an understatement!! I spoke to a guy when he'd filled his up. 82 litres of Vpower fuel would last him about 200 miles...which works out to 7 MPG!!!! Not good lol

But good god they're gorgeous!!!

 

[crxhugh]

they hold 82 litres!!! half the fuel tank and you'll doubble the speed

 

[Duggy711]

yeah 82 litres mate lol

 

[Alec]

well work it out 82 litres 200 miles my boss sat there and worked it out and came up with 7 MPG. I spoke with the guy and he said himself he hasn't seen more than 9 MPG

 

[Alec]

Meh well I dunno. 7MPG is real bad though, even for a super car.

 

[crxhugh]

bearing in mind the veyron does 6mpg and thats meant to be the worst

 

[Alec]

Yeah but that thing has 1000bhp!!!

 

[crxhugh]

yeah i was getting at the fact that the r8 must be better then that

 

[Alec]

Yeah I know mate. I don't like the looks of the Veyron, it's just the fact it has 4 figure bhp that attracts me!

 

[badatzaakir]

a car on the top gear track did 4 mpg

cnt rmmbr wich 1 it wz

 

[Alec]

cnt rmmbr wich 1 it wz

I think you mean:

I can't remember which one it was

8-|

 

[James06]

i'd own one!

 

[Skinny]

who wouldnt lol

 

[mig25_foxbat2003]

I work that out at just over 11mpg, which sounds about right if he's been ragging it. I bet that 27.6mpg figure was worked out at 56mpg in 6th...

Good thing they're bringing out an economy version then.

its the 40v v8 4.2 which when driven at 70-80 will turn about 19 mpg if you hammer anything you get low mpg , my old ur quattro would go down on the computer to 7mpg , town work 17mpg, and motorway 70-80 27mpg, the car on top gear around the track that got 4mpg was the gt40 , what a fantastic looking car that is ,not that i would turn my nose up at an R8
