Bugatti Veyron The Ultimate Driving Experience
For a number of years the Mclaren F1 was the speediest road car in the world, but changes have been a foot over the last few years. The most recent to challenge this top 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 came up with the idea of producing a car with one thousand hp that would do over 200mph, for those where money 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 automobile, and is 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 an hour or 370kph (believe it or not the ordinary configuration is prohibited )
But change the engine and you can get;
253mph, which is 407.5mph
Ten seconds to stop from 250mph!
100ltr fuel tank that may be emptied at top speeds inside twelve minutes!
This is a major achievement 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 surprising. Without the badge, you would not be in a position to tell if it was Italian or German, but you would know it couldn’t be anything more 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 break 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 grill. There are some that would say front grill gives it a “growl”, perhaps so. But to me the growl 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 fastest road car in the world.
The aerofoil at the rear, keeps this monster on the road, and instantly raises itself at certain high speeds, a hint of a give away if you are speeding down a motorway and the detective following you knows you are breaking the speed limit for no other reason than your aerofoil is up. However the excellent news is there’s no police car on earth going to catch you, the bad news is it wouldn’t be hard to track down the owner. First, there isn’t going to be plenty of these is any area and second even your Grandmother would turn her head to see one of these beauties driving down the road.
This car promises to be one of the most talked about motorcar for a while to come. And if you are unable to afford the to buy best driving experience of an entire life, you can at least dream.
