Bugatti Veyron Super Sport


Just the name Bugatti Veyron Super Sport makes every post interesting! Only a few months ago the new Bugatti Veyron Super Sport achieved a land speed world record with 268 mph on Volkswagen Group’s proving ground at Ehra-Lessien nearby the German automaker’s Wolfsburg headquarters. In August, Bugatti presented the car in California for the very first time to the public at the prestigious 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Now, Bugatti has released a flood of new images of the Veyron Super Sport, revealing every tiny detail, from the hand-stitched leather to the 1,200 horsepower power gauge to the rivets of the car’s quad-turbocharged 16 cylinder W-18 engine.

The shots were taken at Spain’s Andalusia, where beautifully landscaped fields, green mountains and lonely roads, matched the beauty of the "Bugatti Veyron Super Sport" that roared through its hills.
Several months back we got our first look the the new Veyron Super Sport when Bugatti debuted the car by announcing it had been certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s Fastest Car. Driven by Bugatti official test diver Pierre Henri Raphanel at the Ehra-Lessian high-speed test track in Germany, the Veyron Super Sport achieved a top speed of 267.81 mpg, far exceeding the original Veyron’s 253.81 mph speed.

Bugatti Veyron 1.6.4 Grand Sport


I did something in a Rs 16-crore Bugatti Veyron that perhaps not many people on this planet have done. No, it’s not the acclaimed 407 kph top speed run. Uh-huh. Did Bugatti hire him on his looks alone? I don’t think so, because not too long ago (July 4, 2010 to be precise), Pierre took the Veyron Super Sport to its top speed of 431.072 kph, making it the fastest production car in the world. And here he was, indulging an Indian who wanted to press the horn button of the fastest convertible/roadster in the world!

The thing about the Bugatti Veyron is that it’s like the Taj Mahal. You read all sorts of reports about it and you’ve seen its images so many times that you’re left jaded. There is so much hype surrounding the Bugatti Veyron and the surreal statistics that accompany it that your vision gets clouded; the hype refracts the way you look at it. Take for example what Pierre demonstrated before handing over the car to me: he took the Grand Sport to the top seventh gear quickly. By then, we were doing some stunning three-digit speeds on those narrow Alsatian roads cluttered with unsuspecting drivers. If it were any other car, can you imagine what would have happened?
I have been in very, very fast cars. In the Bugatti Veyron, with the official pilot demonstrating its ability to beat the laws of gravity-inertia-motion-physics-whatever, my head and body were of course pinned, but gently my thighs and legs became weightless as my legs were nearly lifted.

What everyday usability! I could drive this car to work daily back home in Mumbai and I am sure this automotive Taj Mahal would be up to it. The steering feedback was just right, the prodigious output was offered in measured doses and the four-wheel drive setup ensured that it never stepped out of line.

Depress the pedal and the whoosh behind acquires a cyclone-like spirit, while the turbos put together a whistling philharmonic presentation and the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport brings the horizon closer at a frightening pace. One more time. Depress the pedal again and this time, there were no half-hearted measures.

The engine noise exploded behind me in a frenzy and it felt as if a 737 was hovering behind as the pretty Alsatian countryside started disappearing backwards in fast-forward mode. I was doing 250-kph plus while Pierre was giving me some Bugatti spiel over all that noise. Of the 125-plus kgm of turning force that’s available between 2200 and 5500 rpm, 74 kgm is ready at as low as 1000 rpm.
Time to pull out another surprise from the Bugatti Veyron Box Of Miracles. Touch the brake pedal at those speeds and coming to the aid of those high-tech carbon-ceramic brakes was the rear spoiler that altered its angle sharply and quickly to behave like an air brake, not unlike the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLRs of yore. The brakes, by the way, haul the Veyron from 100 kph to zero in 2.3 seconds. Yes, the Veyron is actually quicker to stop than to accelerate. I don’t know how Ettore Bugatti would have taken it. Turning off the highway, I made my way back to the Bugatti factory in Molsheim in crawl-mode, all the way whining to Pierre about how time passes so fast in an ultra-fast car. What sort of car is this anyway? Whatever it may be, it is truly an engineering marvel, not just an automotive engineering marvel. Ettore Bugatti would be happy.

Exclusive Motors, who sell cars from many an iconic car brand like Lamborghini and Bentley have picked up the gauntlet to sell and tend to the handful of Veyrons that the handful of Indians rolling in the green stuff would buy. Bugatti flew in Guy Caquelin, their Sales and marketing manager, Europe, Middle East and India, to pull the wraps off the Bugatti Veyron GrandSport 16.4 along with the Managing Director of Exclusive Motors, Satya Bagla.
Cost of the Bugatti Veyron GrandSport: INR 16 Crores, and that is the starting price. If you feel like, you can burn some more money and customize your Veyron to a great degree.

bugatti veyron test drive accident



That's what happened to this potential Bugatti owner in America, who, with this effort, is challenging for the title of Shortest Test Drive Ever. Some of that may well be from the scraping of the car on the pavement as the car is reversed out.

The driver was slowly edging the Bugatti Veyron on to a congested road with the car dealer guiding him out onto the oncoming traffic due to the 253mph supercar’s terrible blindspots.
As onlookers film the scene on their mobile phones, the Bugatti Veyron rear clips a stationary Toyota Corolla while the front end scrapes the pavement.

The unfortunate accident highlights the risks in having a luxury car dealership in a city centre. Supercars are notoriously low to the ground so driving up and down even minor gradients runs the risk of bumper damage.

This time our hero manages to crash a 1.6 million USD Bugatti Veyron into what looks like a Toyota. As if this was not enough, our talented driver drives the Bugatti Veyron back on the sidewalk, scrapping the front bumper the second time, obviously.

Watch the Bugatti Veyron crash a Toyota in the video after the jump.

This is why you always listen to a spotter when you're pulling out of a driveway in a car with terrible blind spots. Ouch.
Unofficially, the word on the web is that this accident cost the driver over $30,000 to repair. That's a helluva price tag.

Bugatti Sports Cars Type 12-2 Concept Car

Bugatti Sports Cars Type 12-2 Concept Car
Here is a Bugatti Concept CarBugatti Type 12-2. Racer X has lifted the covers on a new concept vehicle they are calling the Bugatti Type 12-2 concept car which is highlighted by ample storage space and new practical designs. Bugatti is a most famous sports car manufacture, so it is just about power, speed, luxury and everything, designed especially for those who love speed, comfort and style.

Bugatti Type 12-2 concept has been created as a 2+2 sports GT for the Bugatti brand. it is not intended for production. Designed as an example of a luxurious four seater GT, the type 12-2 is the artwork of Reuben Zammit.

The idea is to use a VW derived W12 engine with a twin turbo layout hence the name 12-2. Although not as extravagant as the W16 used in the Veyron, there would be enough power to propel the Type 12-2 to over 200 mph. Every time it competed with 4 different demo cars in 2 different classes for bodystyling.

On the subject of performance, things get considerably more hypothetical. This being purely a design study (and not even a Bugatti-commissioned one) any power-train speculation should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Racer X's specified FR configuration seems to eliminate the Veyron's all-wheel drive, quad-turbo W-16 configuration. Meanwhile, the name "12-2" seems to hint at a 12-cylinder mill sleeping beneath the coupe's hood.

Pop over to Racer X Design for more images of the Type 12-2 Streamliner concept. While you're there, check out the rest of its portfolio, which features a few wild takes on Chrysler, BMW, and Alfa Romeo vehicles.

Bugatti Sports Car Concept Type 57 Evoluzione

The Designer Edwin Conan brings us another retro inspired supercar: the Bugatti Type 57 Evoluzione concept. The Bugatti Type 57 Evoluzione concept is a plenty of futuristic sports cars. This is called by the Type 57 Evolve Concept and impressed by its design, which is based on historical models of the firm, as the Type 35 and obviously the Type 57 Atlantic.
Bugatti Sports Car Concept Type 57 Evoluzione
The Bugatti Type 57 Evoluzione concept is amazing supercar inspired from the original Bugatti Type 57, dating back from 1930s. The idea is that this legendary designer resurgence with a motor model W16 derived from Veyron , with the difference that this run on hydrogen.
This concept car, like the original Type 57, has a stretched bonnet, smooth curves and a split line which bisects the car down the middle. This Bugatti supercar design is the revival of the classic Type 57, with a touch of modern technology.
On the side we see an excellent comparison with his predecessors, on the same lines we note Type 57 Atlantic with the fall of the tail, the separation line that divides the car perfectly in the middle and the door design. In the images we appreciate a highly successful retro design. In the rest Edwin bring the legendary achievement of the new millennium model, incorporating a new front wheel arches, more affiliates optical and fluid, and new dimensions.
It is far from being a sports car and very close to being known as a luxurious and exclusive vehicle that has a long stretched out bonnet just like in the 1930’s. This design cue was one of the trademark styling elements of the Type 57 Atlantic.

2010 Renaissance Bugatti Sports Cars Concept

2010 Bugatti Sports Cars Concept Renaissance
The 2010 Bugatti Renaissance is a concept car created by Canadian designer John Mark Vicente. He is a graduate of the Communication Design program at the Emily Carr University, has come up with some ideas of his own. Look like it’s same with Bugatti Veyron Supercar, but it’s his proposal for next supercar from Bugatti. Come with Veyron, 16-cylinder, but it’s still concept car.
Along with the obvious genes from the current Veyron, the Bugatti Renaissance Design Concept throws in some touches of the Audi R8 and some serious styling.
The Renaissance is a model based on the Bugatti Veyron, the vehicle that replaces it. Although running on the same platform as the Veyron, the exterior design of this concept Bugatti is far more aggressive, and overall…better.
At the front of the car, the grill has grown in size and the headlights have been redesigned, now resembling the ones on the Audi R8 and also it has a carbon fiber skirt that fits great. Above the cockpit we notice that the twin roof vents are now slightly larger.
At the back, there are two larger vents, redesigned tail lights and the Bugatti logo framed by a red line that goes all the way to the roof scoops. The car uses impressive 26 inch rims.
Released as the fastest and costliest car when it hit the market, the impressive Veyron was an absolute stunner. Equipped with an 8.0 litre W16 engine delivering an incredible 1001 horses, Veyron had a top speed of 408.5 kmph (253.8 mph). It catapulted from standstill to 100kmph in just 2.5 seconds and cost above 1.55 million U.S. dollars.
