The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engined supercar, designed and developed by theVolkswagen Group and manufactured in Molsheim, France, by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.
The Veyron’s chief designer was Hartmut Warkuss, and the exterior was designed by Jozef Kabaň of Volkswagen, with much of the engineering work being conducted under the guidance of engineering chief Wolfgang Schreiber.
The fastest road legal car in the world made its debut in 2010 at the PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS. this unique offering from bugatti went into full production towards the end of that year. the veyron super sport obtain its power from a W16 narrow angle eight litter engine that give it the capability to accelerate from 0 to 60 (mph) in 2.4 seconds.
the engine is helped by 4 bi-turbochargers that have total displacement of 487.8 cubic inches. each of the cars cylinder have four valves. this unique engine combination is the same as fusing a couple v8 engine to make it a W instead of a V.
this generates a total of 1200 horsepower. that is nearly 200HP more then last years model. it also gives it a top speed of 267 (mph). unfortunately, this speed also comes with a hefty price tag of $2,400,000.
even though these cars were certified to have a maximum speed of 268 (mph), the vehicles that will shipped to owners will only obtain a speed of 258 (mph). this is a measure that is designed to keep the cars tires from shredding.
