Bugatti Veyron Master of The 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 few years. The latest to test this number one spot is the Bugatti Veyron. Manufactured by Volkswagen this is likely to be the best driving experience from a road vehicle you’ll get in your lifetime.
Ferdinand Piech the CEO of VW came up with the idea of manufacturing an automobile 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 compounded by the fact it costs considerably more to make. Yes VW, will be loosing millions of dollars to sell this car, which is why the opinion is, that no other manufacturer would build a road car you could buy, that would match this performance and style.
Lets look at a few figures then;
1001, Horsepower!
fourteen radiators, Yes 14!!
$3,200 to make an indicator stalk!
Tyres specially developed by Michelin, $1800 each!
922lb of torque!
229 miles per hour or 370kph ( believe it or not the ordinary configuration is restricted)
But tweak the engine and you can get;
253mph, which is 407.5mph
Ten seconds to stop from 250mph!
100ltr fuel tank that can be emptied at top speeds within 12 minutes!
This is a major feat in engineering, particularly from a manufacture 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 automobile also looks stunning. Without the badge, you would not be able to tell if it was Italian or German, but you would know it could not be anything else but these two. At certain angles it looks like a teardrop, with only its open grill that appears like a goldfish’s open mouth to smash that line. I fact if I had anything bad to say about the automobile it might be that I am sure about this front griddle. There are some that would say front griddle 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 fastest road automobile in the world.
The aerofoil at the back, 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 cop following you knows you are breaking the speed limit for no other reason than your aerofoil is up. However the good reports is there is no police car on earth going to catch you, the bad news is it would not be hard to track down the owner. First, there’s not going to be plenty of these is any area and 2nd even your Grandmother would turn her head to see one of these beauties driving down the road.
This vehicle guarantees to be one of the most discussed motorcar for a while to come. And if you can’t afford the to buy best driving experience of a whole life, you can at least dream.
