The vehicle's top speed is 407 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds. These figures have been found in high-speed tracks the drivers Nicolas Moretti and Juan Francisco Larreyna, by testing the car in line. The 4-wheel drive and rear main engine will provide more stability and a balanced distribution of power.





During 2010, the most powerful version of the Veyron, the Super Sport, which has a Veyron engine similar to the current one that is capable of developing 1200 hp, and worked hard on your weight loss using a lot of carbon fiber , set a Guinness world record speed of 431.072 km / h. Thus, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has the speed record for production cars.

The previous model, 16.4 Veyron only has some aerodynamic modifications to correct some deficiencies in the handling at high speeds as well as an increase in the wheelbase by 5 cm. The back was also arranged with 2 air vents.




The vehicle won the record fastest car in the world in 2007, but was displaced by the SSC Ultimate Aero, with a top speed of 412.217 km / h (256.14 mph), but in June 2010, its more powerful version, the Super Sport broke the record again with a top speed of 431.072 km / h, official Guinness record.

The Veyron 16.4 will cost approximately 1.3 million euros before tax.







However, it is considered by many media as the best car in the world. One reason is that the brand is dedicated to building Alsatian this model and other models produced no other vehicle manufacturers. The firm planned a limited production of 300 units, before starting to develop another model.
