Bugatti Veyron

Not just a super car that carries on
the name of racing driver Pierre
Veyron, who, while racing for the
original Bugatti car manufacturer,
won the 24 hours of Le Mans in
1939, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the
second fastest car in the world and
the most powerful, it can easily pass
as a super hero`s car like Batman. It
has the fastest acceleration speed,
reaching 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.
Endowed with a W16 engine-16
cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders
fed by four turbochargers, a dual-
clutch DSG computer-controlled
manual transmission, the Veyron
has a length is 4462 mm (175.8 in) a
wide of 1998 mm (78.7 in) and
hight of 1206 mm (47.5 in).
Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for
the engine cooling system, for
transmission oil, a heat exchanger
for the air to liquid intercoolers, for
engine oil etc., the car has a power
to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.
If we talk about performance we are
dazzled by this supercars power to
reach 200 and 300 km/h (124 and
186 mph) in 7.3 and respectively
16.7 seconds, wining for herself the
name of the quickest-accelerating
production car in history. If we
count the fact that the top speed of
Bugatti Veyron is 253.2 miles per
hour (407.5 km/h), a speed limited
electronically to prevent tire damage
(it can run even faster) we can
understand why this spectacular car
must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82
mpg) when it`s running at top
speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100
km.
A model driven by a superstar like
Tom Cruise, couldn`t name itself
cheap, raising the Bugatti Veyron to
a price tag of $1,700,000, a price
that measures up to it`s quality.
Many new designs has been
released since 2006, the color might
have changed, but the performance
and power remain the same..
