Bugatti Veyron An Awesome Driving Experience
For many years the Mclaren F1 was the fastest road car in the world, but changes have been a foot over the previous couple of years. The most recent to test this number one spot is the Bugatti Veyron. Made by Volkswagen this is likely to be the best driving experience from a road automobile you’ll get in your lifetime.
Ferdinand Piech the chairman of VW invented the idea of producing a car with one thousand hp that could do over 200mph, for those where cash was no object. The outrageous price ticket of £700,000 or approx $1,100,000, is only made worse by the fact it costs significantly more to make. Yes VW, will be loosing millions of bucks to sell this auto, which explains why the opinion is, that no other manufacturer would build a road auto you could buy, that would match this performance and style.
Lets look at a few figures then;
1001, Horsepower!
14 radiators, Yes 14!!
$3,200 to make an indicator stalk!
Tyres specifically developed by Michelin, $1800 each!
922lb of torque!
229 miles per hour or 370kph (believe it or not the normal configuration is restricted)
But tweak the engine and you can get;
253mph, which is 407.5mph
10 seconds to stop from 250mph!
100ltr fuel tank that can be emptied at top speeds within 12 minutes!
This is a major accomplishment in engineering, especially from a make that does not have a background in Formula One like Mclaren and Ferrari and it makes you wonder what they could achieve if they were to enter that field.
The car also looks stunning. Without the badge, you would not be able to tell if it was Italian or German, but you would know it couldn’t be anything else but these 2. At certain angles it seems like a teardrop, with only its open grill that looks like a goldfish’s open mouth to damage that line. I fact if I had anything bad to say about the automobile it would be that I’m not sure about this front griddle. There are some that would say front grill gives it a “growl”, maybe so. But to me the snarl is too respectful, it either should not be there, and had kept more of its lines or it should have been a “roar” ; after all this is the speediest road car in the world.
The aerofoil at the back, keeps this monster on the road, and instantly raises itself at certain high speeds, a bit of a give away if you are speeding down a motorway and the policeman following you knows you are breaking the speed limit for no real reason than your aerofoil is up. However the good news is there is no police car on earth going to catch you, the bad news is it wouldn’t be hard to find the owner. First, there’s not going to be many of these is any neighbourhood and second even your Grandma would turn her head to see one of these beauties driving down the road.
This car promises to be one of the most discussed motorcar for a very long time to come. And if you are unable to afford the to buy best driving experience of a whole life, you can at least dream.
