Beastly Bugatti

2005 Bugatti Veyron

In 2005 Bugatti released a car that carved its spot into automotive history. The word car does not even come close to defining this incredible machine. The original version of the Veyron was published in the history books for reaching the amazing speed of 253.81 mph as verified by german officials. The high speed named the Veyron as the fastest production car. The veyron beat out the McLaren F1 which had held the record since 1998 with a top speed of 240 mph.

The Veyron held its spot as the fastest production car for two years before being outrun by the American-built SSC ultimate Aero in October of 2007.  The Aero achieved the speed of 256.18 mph. If I were Bugatti I would be pissed to say the least. The Aero was only 3 mph faster and took the Veyron's place at the top after only two years. So, the scappy Germans at Bugatti went back to the drawing board.

Bugatti Worked in the shadows as they pieced together a road ravaging beast. Bugatti's final product and Answer to the American Automaker was a new version of their veyron. To prove this was no sheep in wolf clothing. The new Bugatti Veyron Super Sport obliterated the Aeros record by 12 mph. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

 The 2010 Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a new animal that would toy with the old Bugatti before swallowing it whole. The new engine produces a power house of 1200hp from its 16 cylinders, which is a whopping 200hp more than the previous version. This staggering amount of horsepower seems like something out of a video game that would only be found on a virtual track. But this brute also has a softer side. To compliment the beastly power of its engine it has received a new aerodynamic kit and stronger stabilizers. Like a ballerina the Veyron is nimble on its toes and balanced in all situation. This is important especially if you prefer your body all in one piece as opposed to painted across miles of pavement like a gourmet cheese spread.

The beast has also been treated with a manicure. The scales of this monster have been smoothed over with ultra slippery material. The new slippery skin helps it to cut through the wall of air which becomes comparable to the consistency of hardened caramel. The intakes are specially designed to help the wind flow through it helping to cut down resistance. This barbarian sucks up more air in a couple minutes than we will breath in a life time.

Now for the bad news... The only thing scarier than the speed of this car is its outrageous price tag. If you think that the $1.4 million that the original version costs is crazy then try to fathom a price tag of 2.4 million dollars. I guess Bugatti figures if you are able to spend $1.4 million on a car (something that does not fly or cure cancer) than what is an extra $1 million, right?

Bugatti is sending a firm message out to all other automotive manufactures that they will not allow anyone else to take their spot at the top of the record books. If you decide to compete with Bugatti they will make a new version of there prized Veyron and it will EAT YOU!
