Bugatti Veyron 16.4


Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - the most expensive, most powerful and fastest car in the world approved for use on public roads. Launched affiliate Volkswagen AG - Bugatti Automobiles S. AS, a unique car is sold under the brand name of the legendary Bugatti, and his name shall be obliged to Pierre Veyron (Pierre Veyron), winning the Bugatti race 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1939.

History of the supercar began with a demonstration at the Tokyo Motor Show 1999 concept car EB 18 / 3 «Chiron» with 6.3-liter 555-horsepower engine, built by the formula W18 with three blocks of six cylinders. The design concept cars designed by Italian studio ItalDesign Dzhorzhetto Giugiaro (Giorgetto Giugiaro).

The first attempt was far from ideal sports supercar, which wanted to see the Bugatti VW chairman Ferdinand Peha (Ferdinand Karl Piëch). The car was relatively weak, cumbersome engine, and the appearance was more luxurious than sporty.

At the Geneva Motor Show 2001 at booth Bugatti Automobiles S. A.S. already been exposed to pre-production under the new name Bugatti EB 16 / 4 Veyron. The car is not only changed his name, was almost all new, from the engine, consisting of two V-shaped blocks of eight cylinders (four blocks of four cylinders each) to exciting sporting body, fully developed by Volkswagen Helmut Varkusom (Hartmut Warkuss .)

Mass production of the new model has been scheduled for 2003, but a number of significantly changed circumstances as possible. Ferdinand Peha as chairman of the Volkswagen group succeeded Bernd Pischetsrieder (Bernd Pischetsrieder), and in December 2003
Bugatti president Thomas became Bsher (Thomas Bscher), replacing Karl-Heinz Neumann. Despite the personnel changes, the project did not stop in September 2005 the gates of the newly built factory in Molshayme, the old ancestral nest Bugatti, came the first production Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

The car, whose total output does not exceed 300 copies, worth 1 million euros and has the following characteristics: W16 Engine with four turbochargers is 7993 cm3. Gas distribution mechanism consists of 4 camshafts and 64 valves. Engine power is variously estimated from 1020 - 1040 hp (VW) to 1006 - 1026 hp (SAE). To avoid misunderstandings, Bugatti Automobiles S. A.S. declared engine power to 1001 horsepower. Maximum torque is 1250 Nm and a dual-clutch transmission and Haldex coupling is transmitted to all four wheels. Transmission installed in the car - the seven-speed, paddle shift levers are made. The transition to each subsequent transfer takes 0.2 seconds.

Maximum speed Bugatti Veyron, set during official testing at the track Ehra-Lessien reached 407 kilometers per hour acceleration time to 100km / h in 2.5 seconds to 200 km / h - 7.3, and 300 - 16, 7 seconds.

These advances make the Bugatti Veyron is not only the fastest car, but also the most dynamic production car in history. He also ranked first in fuel consumption, spending at full throttle 125 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual flow rate in the urban cycle 40.4 liters in mixed - 24.1, and on the highway - 14.7 liters per 100 kilometers.

Speed ​​limit in everyday use is 377 kilometers per hour. Upon reaching the car mark of 220 km / h down the car hydraulics to achieve clearance of 8.9 cm and at the same time from the rear of the wing up, providing the necessary downforce. In order to develop maximum speed, a driver with a special key to activate speed mode should the motion, which, incidentally, is limited electronically at 407 km / h, to avoid premature tire wear.

On the Bugatti Veyron are unique uglekeramicheskie ventilated brake discs and calipers vosmiporshnevye. At speeds above 200 km / h, braking is activated wing that serves as an aerodynamic brake. Time reversal of the wing angle of 70 degrees to 0.4 seconds after the start of braking. The time it takes auto racing with a maximum speed to a complete stop is 10 seconds, and the Bugatti Veyron does not move during braking from a rectilinear trajectory, even if the driver releases the steering wheel.
