Bugatti Veyron : Best Car Ever Made

Posted by:  /  Category: Exotic Car

In the world of sports cars, The Bugatti Veyron it’s a ridiculously fast. This exotic sports car is one of the smallest even less than the Porsche 911.

The Veyron has a top speed of 252 km / h, making it the fastest car in the world. Its W16 engine published an astonishing 1,001 HP ( horsepower ), so that makes the most powerful car. With a carbon fiber and aluminum body and frame to reduce the weight of the car, it weight at 4,500 pounds or 2040 kg – which is still surprisingly heavy for its size.


W16 refers to the Veyron 16.4-cylinder and turbo engine. This car is 8 liter quad-turbo and makes it one of the powerful engines ever built for a car. The “W” refers to the two narrow-angled V8 Volkswagen which are joined together. The Bugatti Veyron has literally two Corvette engines.

 


 

The car is equipped with all-wheel-drive (AWD) and operates like an F-1 car in terms of 7-speed automated manual gearbox. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and runs the quarter mile in an amazing 10 seconds. This car activated with high-speed mode, the driver’s could reach incredible 252mp/h in less than a minute. But for the safety issues, Bugatti production models will be released at a maximum speed of 230 mph.

Surprisingly, the Bugatti Veyron is said to be a very easy car to drive.The wheel base of the sports car is massive and thanks to the AWD, the hairpin turns and other handling obstacles are that much easier.

 


 

If you think the Veyron is completely classless machine, think again. The car is designed to be beautiful and elegant. The leather interior covers a plush seat and the aluminum trim gives the car looks like a racing car, with the feel of a luxury car.

Driver of the Veyron have testified to its handling capabilities. Once the car reaches 200 mph, the front end becomes light and start to lift off of the ground. Although the Veyron is beautifully designed to look more a jet plane without wings, the shear speed of the air from underneath the light front end will still cause it to list slightly.

 


 

One of the greatest achievements of the Bugatti Veyron is its ability to manage (in the sense, not the out of control) in a straight line at full speed. Some fast cars in the world, like the McLaren F1, out of control at 240 miles per hour. The Veyron is a marvel of modern machines.
