 In 2000 at the Paris Motor Show the EB 16/4 prototype was unveiled. This car had almost identical styling to the production Veyron and was powered by a still insane, but slightly more realistic, W16 engine. A year later, in 2001, Volkswagen announced that they were taking the Veyron to production. Engineering issues, the realisation of 1000 (useable) horsepower in a supercar, was the biggest problem facing Volkswagen engineers and designers. Issues included; finding a transmission capable of handling the cars immense power, cooling the engine, and not to mention getting the power onto the road in a manner the luxury supercar buyer was used to. However after literally years of exhaustive testing and record breaking engineering feats, the Veyron became a reality. Some of the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 supercar's facts and figures. 253 mph - The electronically limited top speed. 257 mph - The theoretical top speed, on a perfect run. 2.3 mpg - Fuel economy when running at full speed 12 minutes - The time it takes to empty the fuel tank at top speed 51 miles - The distance covered while emptying the tank 0 - 60 mph - 3 seconds

250 - 0 mph - 9.8 seconds The seven speed DSG transmission can handle up to 1106 lb ft of torque, 185 lb ft more than the Veyron develops. If a Mclaren F1 traveling at 100 mph went past a stationary Bugatti Veyron, and the Veyron set off at full acceleration as the Mclaren passed, the Veyron would top 200 mph first. 1,000,000 - the price of a Veyron in Euros 1,121,000 - the price in US dollars 683,200 - the price in English pounds  |
