Bugatti Veyron 16.4
The idea was to design a sportscar which would explore the limits of the technically possible and which would, in every respect, be commited to the extreme.
The idea was to design a car which uncompromisingly unite the passion of the designer, the skill of the engine, absolute luxury and racing technology.
The idea was to interpret the car as a work of art. The idea was to build a Bugatti.
The Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron was named after the last man to win the Le Mans 24 Hour race in a Bugatti, Pierre Veyron. Bugatti wanted to build a street car that would have the world's most powerfull engine with possible a 4 digit horse power figure and the world's fastest car at over 400 Km/h.
The result is a sleek, exciting sports car promising enormous power from an all aluminium 7993 cc W16 engine mounted longitudinally ahead of the rear axle on a seperate aluminium subframe and running four KKK turbochargers producing 987bhp at 6000 rpm.
The top speed is eliminated to be 252 mph (406 Km/h), although owners wanting to test this for themselves will have to contact the factory who will dispatch a mechanic to check the car over, fit high speed tyres and remove te electronic speed limiter especially for the purpose
0-186 mph should take just 14 seconds. The Veyron's 7 speed sequential gearbox is unique in that, it boast the dual clutch transmission whereby one clutch controls gears one, three, fine and seven whilst the other controls gears two, four and six. The result being a constant surge of power when accelerting.
Special run-flat capability Michelin PAX tyres in 265 front and 365 rear, the largest sizes ever fitted to a production car, are mounted on a 20,5" (520mm) diameter 12 spoke wheels
