Veyron: top speeds in each gear

[question]

Hi everyone. I am after some data and came across this forum, wondering if you lot may be able to help .

I am a big-big fan of the Veyron, right
back to early in its development a few years ago. I have a copy of the Mercedes Benz World Racing
game for the PC (I do not drive myself for eyesight reasons) and downloaded an add-on Vey. I learnt recently that the vehicle hits its top speed in 55.6s, yet my virtual version hits it in < 30. I am able to edit all performance parameters, including ratios, and in an attempt to increase its realism I would like to know the top speeds in each gear, which I will then be able to adjust for the game version.

Many thanks if anyone can help.

I'm sure someone will know.

Has any magazine or statisticians verified any of the Veyron's top speed? I hear that it can do 250+ and 0-60 in 2.5 sec, but who has verified it?

Yeah, Auto Motor Und Sport is the magazine which officially tested the Veyron's top speed, 402 km/h (250mph)

They hit 100 km/h - (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds

Check here for AMS test

For a list of other top speeds for other vehicles check here


Btw, "question" i did take a good look for these numbers but have had no such luck, i'll keep looking though

[question]

I've found the ratios from http://www.supercars.net/garages/Duesey/40v2.html:

1st 3.15:1
2nd 2.25:1
3rd 1.68:1
4th 2.29:1
5th 1.07:1
6th 0.91:1
Final Drive ~7th gear: 0.75:1

but how can I convert them to the speeds? Sorry if seems a simple question - I should know something like this myself anyway...

 

[Bruce]

^^ It's not a simple question because i can not answer it either

 

[phaeton]

I had a quick look myself can't find anything

 

[heelntoe]

i think we can work with the gear ratios, but what is the redline and rev limiter in each gear?
