Bugatti Veyron: The World’s “Fastest” Car
Bugatti Veyron: The World’s “Fastest” Car
Author janet
A new supercar with a claimed 1001 horsepower, the Veyron is currently the world’s fastest road car. With 16 cylinders formed by joining two V8 engines the Veyron can reach top speed of 407 km/h in just 42.3 seconds.
The Veyron must be unlocked by a special key in order to reach top speed. After being unlocked the car lowers to 3.5 inches above the ground and a hydraulic spoiler extends at speed and also can be used as an air brake.
Although weighing in at 4,160 lbs its handling is quite sharp. It is considered to be a huge achievement and possibly, according to Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, the “best car ever made”. The Bugatti Veyron is currently selling for a whopping $1.3 million.
