Why does the Bugatti Veyron have the turning radius of a Gulfstream G650?

Alright then. So last Sunday I was enjoying a usual promenade around Knightsbridge when my attention was high jacked by a reflective Bugatti Veyron Pursang. The bug was in the shadow of borderline murdered out Hamann Cayenne. In London we have two types of wealth Arabs; The militia who invade London with 8, 10 and 12 cylinder cars in July and reign with pollution and high decibels for a month, and then we have the occupants – the type so wealthy that they can afford to stay in London for 4-10 months, living in a top hotel at the of £500-900 per night. Yes you read it right, no exaggeration. The Veyron and the Cayenne are occupants.

So they came from a residential area looking to join the slow traffic on Sloane Street. The Cayenne slipped into the traffic with a right turn. All pedestrians and drivers alike were star struck enough to halt and open up sufficient room for the Veyron to join the main road. Slowly the said 64 valve supercar silently began its journey on the main road. The driver made a right turn, reversed and suddenly a choir of annoyed drivers began enthusiastically slamming their horns in frustration over the being held up. To their dismay, the horning didn’t speed things up as the Veyron made a second correction, another reserve manoeuvre and then did the final straight steer. What the F*** did I just witness??1! A motorized vehicle with the turning radius of a Gulfstream G650. A 5 point turn just to go left??? That is utter unacceptable. Why is a €1,000,000 car handicapped to the extent that it cannot function on roads drivable by a Daewoo Matiz which probably cost less than spare tire.

Probably the car is running on zero camber angle to maximize grip at top speed but when top speed mode isn’t activated, the double wishbone suspension should be advanced enough to set the car to a few negative degrees of camber. Surely the car wasn’t engineered to be the emperor of Hockenheim but a 10 second five point turn just to go left is utter bullocks. And yeah the Veyron and Cayenne were earlier parked outside a hotel line astern with the company of a Maybach Xenatech Coupe(£500k+) and fourth white car by the name of Drophead Coupe. Almost a Royal Flush, just a white V10 Lambo missing.

Taking care in the chaotic London traffic is a tall order. Incompetence could be a factor in the equation but so could those huge wheels which doesn't seem to have sufficient swing room in the wheel wells.
 
I can only guess the driver was being very cautious. The Veyron is pretty wide and outward vision toward the rear is not very good either. According to C&D measurements, its turning circle of 39.3' is identical to that of the Panamera Turbo. This is about 2-3 feet larger a circle than an Audi S5 or Porsche GT3.
 
All cars are from KSA..where were those shots taken in London?

That MM coupe is gorgeous.:D

Thanks. I guess that explains it, care more than anything.
 
The veyron have a smaller turning radius than a normal car.. But I also would love to figure it out.. In a tight U-turn you really either take it from a wide angle or you would have to reverse this happen on a narrow road..
