Volkswagen revived a classic name from the past when it introduced the ridiculously fast, ridiculously expensive, and incredibly advanced Veyron. Which badge is the Veyron sold under?
What is Bugatti?
When it was released in 2005, the Bugatti Veyron (named after French racing driver, Pierre Veyron who drove for Bugatti) was the fastest production car ever made. That mantle has since been taken by the Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo. The Veyron remains, however, a breathtakingly impressive vehicle. I'll let the figures speak for themselves:
Engine: 4 turbo W-16; 1001 hp; 927 lb/ft torque
Price: approx. US$ 1,440,000
Top Speed: 407 km/h (253 mph)
0-100 km/h: 2.5 seconds (0-200/300 km/h: 7.4/16.7 seconds)
0-60 mph: 2.46 seconds
Braking from 400 km/h to Standstill: less than 10 seconds
