“The incredible monster machine capable of exceeding 375 km/h using a special key.”
It is one of the most fabled marques in the history of the automobile. Ettore Bugatti’s cars were so technologically advanced in the 1930’s that they remained quite competitive in numerous racing categories…for about two decades. Imagine a contemporary Formula 1 team or sports car trying to make that claim. But the new Bugatti Veyron created by German car maker Volkswagen was without question the single greatest supercar of the modern era.
Its quadruple-turbocharged, 8.0-liter, W-16 engine produced a mind-numbing 987 BHP at 6000 rpm. Its transmission was an ultra smooth, quick shifting 7-speed DSG developed exclusively for the Veyron. Its performance numbers were downright scary, with a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time of 2.5 seconds, and a 0-300 km/h (190 mph) dash in 16.7 seconds. Its braking was impressive, coming to a stop from 100 km/h (62 mph) in a distance of 31.3 m (103 ft) in only 2.3 seconds.
Then there’s the price: 1 million Euros (about 1.4 million USD).
The Veyron was capable of such high speed, said to be over 400 km/h (250 mph), that the vehicle’s ride height and rear wing angles changed in three positions: standard, top speed, and handling mode. To enter the top speed mode, enabling speeds of over 375 km/h (233 mph), a special separate key is needed to be inserted when the car is at a standstill. Everything about the Veyron, its price, performance, limited quantity, and top speed, was completely over-the-top. That’s why it rested atop the pinnacle of the super-exotic car universe when it went on sale.
