When the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was launched a few years ago, it created a worldwide sensation. With 16 cylinders oozing pure power, here is the faster car on Earth capable of hitting a top speed of 407 Km/hour. It was also a unique and stunning design from VW, owners of Bugatti.

Bugatti was founded by Ettore Bugatti, who was an Italian refugee depicted as an odd genius in Molsheim, France. The original corporation is celebrated for manufacturing a number of the most elite  automobiles in the world, as well as a numbers of the quickest.

Bugatti’s original brand name did not succeed with the coming of the Second World War, like a lot of high-end marques at the time. At present, the name is possessed by the Volkswagen Group, which has restored  it for the limited manufacture elite sports cars.

It carries on the name of racing driver Pierre Veyron, who, while racing for the original Bugatti car manufacturer, won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939. It has the fastest acceleration speed, reaching 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

Endowed with W16 engine-16 cylinders in 4 banks  of 4 cylinders fed by four turbochargers, a dual clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission, the Veyron has a  length is 4462 mm (175.8 in) a  wide of 1998 mm (78.7 in) and height of 1206 mm (47.5 in). Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for the engine cooling system, for transmission oil, a heat exchanger  for the air to liquid inter coolers, for engine oil etc., the car has a power  to weight ratio  of 529 bhp/ tonne.

This super car can reach 200 and 300 km/h in 7.3 and respectively  16.7 seconds, being  the      quickest-accelerating production car in history. If we count the fact that the  top speed Bugatti  Veyron is 407.5 km/h, a speed limited electronically to prevent tire damage (it can run even faster) we can understand why this spectacular car must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) when it’s running at top speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100 km.

The Bugatti Veyron costs atleast of $1,700,000. Not many can afford it and still fewer can drive it. Many new designs has been released since 2006,the color might have changed, but the speed and power remain the same.
