Forza Motorsport 5: Ace of Aces

veyron venom agera

These ultra-expensive, ultra-powerful, and ultra-rare machines can be considered themselves as "Aces" because they possessed superior capabilities, massive firepower, and road superiority a true ace should have. Whether it can be sophisticated or bewildering, to civilized to insane, the aces really are born in the perfect battlefield where only the best ace survive but which of these aces are "Ace of Aces?"

First, let's get to know the aces and first up, it's the Koenigsegg Agera. Made as the successor to the CCX, the one that Stig almost got killed while he drove one round the Top Gear track several years ago. It was powered by a turbocharged 5-litre V8 engine that produces 940PS of power and 1,100Nm of torque. 0-100kph in under 3.1 seconds and top speed of 435kph while mated with a 7-speed double clutch gearbox. It was awarded Top Gear's 2010 Hypercar of the Year.

Next, it's the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. While the Veyron is highly respected as the world's fastest machine, the Super Sport pushed the machinima to its extreme levels and with its 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, the Veyron SS set the benchmark for the fastest production vehicles.

And lastly and notably a fierce one, the Hennessey Venom GT. This purpose-built speed demon from the Hennessey Performance Engineering possesses some record-smashing speed records with its fastest 0-300kph time of 13.63 seconds. It has clocked a max speed of 270.49mph on a runway at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, making it unofficially the fastest car in the world and because it's unofficial, it's not quite matched to the production numbers of the Veyron SS.

The aces are set in the Top Gear Test Track and the fastest time is the winner.

At the starting line, both the Venom GT and the Agera are struggling to get it straight because the massive torque of these two sent these two on a catastrophic wheelspin but for the Veyron Super Sport, thanks to its 4WD powertrain, got off to a rocket start smoothly but in the corners, since the Veyron Super Sport is the heaviest of the three, both the Venom GT and the Agera glide through the corners with ease. This could be very one sided.

Mind you, the Venom GT has the most powerful engine compared to the Veyron SS and the Agera and because it's lighter, this ace sweeps through the corners and straights faster than you can say "Fox Two".



At the end of the lap, here are the results;

Veyron SS: 1:15.161
Venom GT: 1:15.122
Agera: 1:17.337

Which means, that the "Ace of Aces" goes to the Venom GT because not only its twin-turbo LS9 V8 engine possess a massive firepower but its lightweight bodywork has greater superiority on the track making it the ideal multirole in the high speed stakes and track days. This million-dollar hypercar is by no means the Ace of Aces in an all-out ace combat on Forza 5.

"Personalan" with the Veyron Super Sport

Everybody knows that the Bugatti Veyron is the pinnacle of the supercar world because of its orgy and mind numbing numbers. It may cost over a million dollars, producing almost a thousand horsepower, and a top speed that exceeds 200mph. Just that everybody think that the Veyron's the world's fastest but now it isn't. While the Veyron can do 253mph, the SSC Ultimate Aero can do 256mph, making it the fastest car ever made, not the Veyron. The Germans aren't very pleased...

For Bugatti's act of revenge against the American-made SSC Ultimate Aero, they created a monster that it proves to be the ultimate Bugatti in history, something that is wickedly powerful than the Veyron.

Hello, what's this? A Veyron in carbon fiber body?

Surely it's carbon fiber but it's more annoying
than The Annoying Orange!

Hmmm....It could be a Bugatti Veyron but this is a bit more than that. It doesn't look like a Veyron and it doesn't sound like one. This could only be one thing...

So, are we opening the Guinness Book of World Records with the words
"Fastest Man on Earth: James May"? Not exactly...

Behold! The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport! The fastest production car in the world! Really? But how? To be sure, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has the same 0 to 60 time as the original Veyron, which is 2 and a half seconds, but now the 0 to 100 time has improved. It would do that in 4.5 seconds, which is the same as the Porsche 911 GT3 and this will go to an electronically-limited top speed of 258mph. The standard Veyron has 987HP of power but the Super Sport has 1183HP of power. Also, the new Veyron Super Sport has a new bodywork which proves to be lighter than the standard Veyron and some aerodynamic tweaks are done as well. This ultimate Veyron showed up at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours D'elegance and it costs 1.7 million British Pounds Sterling and Bugatti said that only 30 will be produced.



In one episode of Top Gear, James May returns to Ehra-Lessien, Volkswagen's top secret testing base, to max out the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Everybody knows that the top speed is limited to 415.07 km/h (257.91 mph) to prevent the wheels to blow off, right? What happens if it exceed? The team at Bugatti provided the Veyron Super Sport some extra durable tires that cost 20,000 Pounds per set and then James May is off to the max. He managed to max out in 417 km/h (259 mph) but after his run, Bugatti sent one of their test drivers to max it out and the record? Well, its 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph)!

When the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was handed to The Stig, it set an astonishing 1:16.8 lap time at the Top Gear Test Track, faster than the Gumpert Apollo S.

Stig makes a lap with the Bugatti Veyron SS!

That car will simply make you go bananas when you push this car to the max, especially when you make drag races with this one. Seeking this as an enemy would be somewhat fierce but seeking this as an ally would be somewhat trustworthy. Even though it has a very challenging handling, the speed is simply monstrous. Your brain might be easily take off when you push it too hard.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is applicable for those who owned the Forza Motorsport 4 Limited Collector's Edition. Those who are lucky enough would be wise to push the Bugatti Super Sport to the max.

Welcome Back: 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Concorde of the Road


This car you're familiar with, the Bugatti Veyron. The meeting point for the most collection of numbers; one million Pounds, one thousand horsepower, and a top speed of over 200mph. Sorry because I often watched too much Top Gear but the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has a special place in Top Gear history, despite that the British government permitted the show that they Veyron has to be featured once per season.

It raced against a Cessna 182...



James May maxed out the Veyron in Ehra-Lessien...



It made a fight against a Euro Fighter Typhoon (and the Veyron lost that fight)



And finally, it won a drag race against the McLaren F1 in Abu Dhabi.



If that wasn't enough, The Stig set a lap time of 1:18.3 round the Top Gear Test Track. Just as we thought that the world's fastest car should be the fastest at the Top Gear Test Track but we are wrong because the weight of the Veyron surely can't keep up. It's cornering ability might be challenging but at the straights, it's unstoppable.

Surely, this is wickedly fast but as of now, the SSC Ultimate Aero kicked the Veyron's butt, which later the SSC got its butt kicked by the ultimate Veyron ever built which is the Veyron Super Sport, which I will talk about that later.

It doesn't matter because the Veyron is back on Forza Motorsport 4 and it is one of the many vehicles to explore in the game's Autovista feature.

Bugatti Veyron - Forza 3 Owner's View

The mythological being watches over us


The Veyron's premium interior

Catch the Veyron if you can...



FINAL IMPRESSIONS: When you say the name "Veyron", what comes on your mind? Sure, the name Veyron is the fastest name given by Bugatti and the mythological being is known to be the king of exotics. The legendary Bugatti Veyron is the ultimate exotic that is known to be the number one car used by Forza Motorsport 3 owners because of its legendary power that holds.
In terms of drag racing, both a fully tuned Bugatti Veyron and a fully modified Datsun 510 can be somewhat fierce rivals in the Forza Motorsport 3 drag racing scene but let's just skip to the point and focus more on the mythological French beast.
The legendary Veyron is the most outstanding part of my Forza 3 car collection and for me, this is the best exotic ever driven in my whole life!

The Bugatti Veyron is mostly used by Forza 3 players!

Bugatti Veyron on Forza 3


The ultra-fast, ultra expensive, Bugatti Veyron ranked as number one in Forza 3's Top 99 cars used on the races. This list consists on cars that how many times did Forza 3 players raced with these cars.


It's true that most Forza 3 players love to race and decorate with this mega-fast French exotic. Upon getting behind the wheel of the Veyron at Forza 3, I think that this is the wildest car players drove. Upon wondering how did the historic Nissan Datsun 510 slotted in the top ten out of the 99 cars via the #2 spot, there is a quick reason why because the Datsun 510 is a favorite among Forza 3 dragsters because if the maxed out their tuning, and with the RB26DETT engine attached on the historic 510, it becomes the ultimate drag racer no other people would ever challenge against it. I wonder if there was a player that holds the fastest 510 in the history of Forza 3 drag racing. Is it the technique of TCS OFF? Manual w/ Clutch? Whatever...

The Audi R8 5.2 FSi, Forza 3's main character car, is slotted in the #3 spot as well.

On the #6 spot, there was the Ford Fiesta. Upon my Forza 3 experiences, the Ford Fiesta is actually the best car to start with.

Guess this survey don't lie, and the Veyron topped the no. 1 spot because of the number of races this car had faced. Owners decorated it to look like the Pur Sang, Sang Noir, or even the Super Sport. Once you're inside the Veyron, there's no turning back now...
