Bugatti Veyron - 987bhp

Sorry if its a repost but I just bought the new evo magazine (UK mag) and on the cover is the new Bugatti. Its the new supercar that makes the Enzo look tame. They say its the most powerful production car ever built. It has a W16 engine that creates 922lb ft of torque at just 2200-2500 rpms! The 8 litres, 16 cylinder engine is formed by two banks of narrow-angle V8's, with 4 turbos!!! It also has a 7 speed gear box with 2 (yes two!) sets of clutches! One for odd number gears and one for evens. If you want to drive the car to its fullest potential (252mph), you have to call them and they'll send out a guy with special tools to switch off the electronic limiter which would otherwise stop you at 186mph.

Here are just a few specs.....

Power: 987bhp
Torque:922lb ft
Top Speed: 252mph
0-124mph: 6 sec.
0-186mph: 14 sec.

Check out the pic.!

0-124 in 6 seconds? HOLY ****!!!! I would move to utah so I could drive on the salt flats everyday. Bugatti

Dont know how I feel about that two tone paint job though...but I guess at 252mph..no one would really notice

yeah the car can go fast in a staight line, wow. but there is a lot of talk about how its not going to be able to handle worth crap and probably wont be suitable for low speed driving, pretty much autobahn only

and they will install "high-speed" tires when turning off the limiter, so you can hit 250.

This is the first you guys have heard about this car? It's been out for a few years.

I think it's kind of a cool looking car. It's been the wallpaper on my work computer for about a month now.

Here are some more pics for you:

Better color scheme:

Interior:


I'm not so sure I like the interior. What do you think? I see paddle shifters... what is that shifter in between the seats then?

Engine:


Rear:


I like the square exhaust!


Oh yeah, all those pics except the first one are from this article.

You know if I am not mistaken, don't get me wrong that is a NICE car, but the cadillac sixteen has 16 cylinder naturally aspirated 1000 hp, and 1000 Lbs of torque. think of the possiblities if you turboed the caddy?
