To celebrate this new thread, Im kicking it off with, the new fastest production car in the world!

Everyone knows it, the Bugatti Veyron!

bugattiveyron261024.jpg




Bugatti was founded in Molshiem, France as a manufacturer of high performance automobiles by Ettore Bugatti, an Italian immigrant described as an eccentric genius.

Bugatti started out making a few models, not many, but they were still very exclusive.

Bugatti went out of business in the car industry, as of many other high performence car manufactueres did, at around 1960


a couple workers from bugatti teamed up in the 90s to make one last car

the B Engineering Edonis

Not the prettiest thing ever made... IMHO

but it was fast!

it had a Twin Turbo V12

720bhp

590 ft lb of torque

0-60mph in 4 seconds

0-100mph in 8.2 seconds

it weighs 1500kg/3307lbs

and the price 730,000 CAD


At 2006, Bugatti anounced it will be producing the Veyron, VW nearly immidiatley bought bugatti after

After the release of the standard veyron, bugatti started work on a few limited edition version

Like this Pur Sang

A polished carbon fiber and aluminium version, limited to 2


and the Fbg Par Hermes

bugattiveyronfbg491024x.jpg

And then came the Roadster version, the Grand Sport


bugattiveyron611024x768.jpg


bugattiveyron741024x768.jpg


Then the Sang Noir

bugattiveyronsn801024x7.jpg


bugattiveyronsn791024x7.jpg




and the Centenaire

bugattiveyron1061024x76.jpg



and the Sang Bleu, which is a variation of the grand sport


buggativeyron1181024x76.jpg


buggativeyron1161024x76.jpg





All of these variations had roughly the same performence, that I know of, as the origonal veyron


here are the performence figures

64vavle quad turbo W16

1001 bhp

922 ft ld of torque

0-60mph in 3 seconds

and a wopping top speed of 252mph/407kmh

and it weighs 1950kg/4299lbs


Now Bugatti has recently anounced that they are making the Galibier 16C

bugatti16c1201024x768.jpg



bugatti16c1211024x768.jpg


bugatti16c1221024x768.jpg



bugatti16c1231024x768.jpg





And now, Bugatti has set a new land speed record for the fastest production car, at 267mph/431mkh

set in the new Bugatti Veyron Super Sport!!!

Great post and amazing car!

We should also pay tribute to those idiots who have already managed to kill one and throw more than $1.6m down the drain in the process. I believe there are at least 3 of them... :biglaugh:

I can explain all of these but the last one


the first one was a mule car that bugatti sent out for testing, crashed going over 200mph, both driver, and passenger were fine

the second one is where the driver drove into a lake when swerving for a bird

here is a youtube video

Not sure which version of the story is right, but the one I read about regarding the first case is as follows:

This is the first Bugatti Veyron to be wrecked on the streets. It is the fastest and most expensive production vehichle in history, list price about $1.6 million.

The Veyron was doing around 100mph when it spun out of control, spinning 3 times before hitting a Vauxhall Astra with a 7-month pregnant woman inside. It then smashed into trees up a 3 foot embankment.

The Bugatti driver was with a younger male passenger. The car was taken away by the same truck driver who had delivered it to the owner just a week earlier. The owner is a businessman in his 40's who runs a rental car company with his brothers.

Location:
B375 near Chertsey, Surrey, United Kingdom


But like I said... there might be different versions of that story around.

I forgot it in the main post, so Im making a little snippet here.

The Bugatti EB110

(Credit to RD-3 for reminding me about this amazing car)

It was unveiled on September 15, 1991, exectly 110 years after Ettore Bugatti was born, hence the name: EB110

I dont know much about it, other than the origin of the name, so just enjoy the pictures!

the story I heard was a very early story of it, so yours is probably right, but either way, it crashed, and $1.6 went down the drain

deloreandmc your right that the Bugatti driver drove this beast into the lake. It is however widely reported that the owner of this car had made his fortune by developing his own company which coincidentally involved the repairing of damaged super exotic cars... publicity stunt! He has restored and currently owns Eddie Griffin's crashed Ferrari Enzo.

I didnt know, the bird story is the story I heard, still dont know why he would smash a veyron, even if it was a publicity stunt, you couldve done something a little less valuable

Still not sure on the Veyron, the grill just doesn't do it for me.

Great post tho mate, Keep 'em coming!

I like the watch in the last picture. I think that is very cool.

Bugatti Veyron is my wife's favourite car- I love it also.

Apparently VW loose money every time one is sold. Part of a challenge according to Top Gear.

Houtex, the drivers watch is a special watch made specifically for the Bugatti veyron supersport. It is made by Parmigiani.

Awesome thread about one of my favorite cars ever. Love it or hate it, one has to respect the engineering that went into the design.

I would like to chime in with a car that is almost the exact opposite to the Veron in every way exept performance numbers.

Ultra light, and your sedan more that likely has more hp. Aaaannnnnnd, there like $75k

This car IS sex. To me anyway.
