Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the latest and greatest in the world of super cars. It took 4 years to develop this car that only 300 of which will ever be made, making it extremely rare and sought after by collectors. This car is the most powerful production car ever made with over 1001 BHP.

This extreme amount of power is generated by the cars innovative quad turbo charged W-16 engine. This basically means it has two V-8 engines mounted at a 90 degree angle to each other.

This tremendous engine gives the car unheard of acceleration. In just 3 seconds this car will take you from 0 to 60 and at 14 seconds it can have you past the 200 mark, but it doesn’t stop there, the cars not exhausted until it reaches 252.3 MPH. The only reason the car isn’t able to go faster is because the car is limited by the design and construction of the chassis and drive train.

The car also features a transmission called a directshift gearbox. The car can accelerate from 0 to 252.3 MPH, through all seven gears without any interruption to the acceleration.
