We don't know if it's the same cars or not, but this time, the Veyron gets its bulbous buttocks whipped by the GT-R. Don't ask us how Godzilla managed to pull that out - maybe it was hooked up to up to a nitrous bottle or something, maybe the Veyron had some sort of problem, we have no idea- but it did. Watch the second round after the jump.

As you can see in this video that was most likely shot in Russia, even a pair of heavily-modified Nissan GT-Rs tuned to churn out some 730HP (or so it is claimed) are having a hard time keeping up with the Veyron. Of course, the Bugatti costs as much as two-dozen or so Nissan GT-Rs, but that's another tale for another time... For now, follow the jump to watch the clip.
You've probably heard about the Bugatti Veyron that crashed into a Texas saltwater pond earlier this week with the driver claiming that he lost control of the $1 million + supercar when a "low-flying pelican distracted him". Well, guess what; someone, who happened to be traveling in a car on an adjacent road, was filming the Bugatti Veyron and actually captured the incident as it occurred! We looked at the video multiple times, heard the folks in the car repeating the 'S' word more times than we can remember, but a pelican we never saw... Check out the video after the break.Thanks to Greg for the tip! (Source Youtube)
Evidently, the Bugatti Veyron wasn't made to drift on water. Too bad that the driver of the 1001HP, 16-cylinder quad-turbocharged supercar had to find out the hard way... But seriously now, according to media reports, the unnamed driver lost control of the Veyron as he was traveling north on Interstate 45 in Texas when a "low-flying pelican distracted him".The report goes on to say that the man" jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone" and ended up, or rather in, a saltwater lagoon. While the driver wasn't injured, the same can't be said about the Veyron which carries a $1 million + price tag.
