BUGATTI VERYON 16.4

The development of the Veyron 16.4* is of the key milestones of 21st-century automotive engineering. Volkswagen CEO Ferdinand made high demands: the designers were to revive the heritage of Ettore Bugatti with this new tremendous sports automobile. Equally challenging were the impressive technical requirements the exceptional serial production vehicle had to meet: a top speed above 400 km/h & 736 kW (one,000 HP). A formidable challenge. Yet the Veyron 16.4 unites the dichotomy of elegant form & high-tech function, of grace & power, aesthetics & safety in ideal harmony. 

 

They were to generate a automobile like none before. Their declared aim was a serial production vehicle able to hold its own on the Formula one racetrack & provide a relaxed, yet fascinating driving experience in everyday traffic.

The Veyron 16.4 exceeds these expectations with its 736 KW (one,001-HP) engine, its ability to reach a velocity of 400 km/h at the push of the gas pedal, & its racecar safety idea. This unmatched feat was made feasible by a series of technical innovations seldom before built in to a serial production vehicle. Lots of of the Veyron as parts were historicallyin the past unavailable on the world market: before the Veyron was created, the maximum capacity of available fuel pumps sufficed only for 650 HP. The world as first seven-gear direct-shift transmission was merely an idea. The central hydraulic method is yet another innovation: it supports the automobile as brake & steering method, controls the rear spoiler & diffuser, & regulates the ground clearance, which varies from 65 to 125 mm, depending on the velocity. central requirement ruled the development of all new parts: they had to work perfectly together. & at Bugatti, perfection is an absolute without compromises.
