Cars ends of the size of the Ferrari F40, McLaren F1, Porsche 959 or Lamborghini Countach, reach the end of his days and will continue to see sports cars but occasionally will use support systems such as electric motors and similar solutions on an engine block that, although powerful, hardly exceed 8 cylinders.

And when these expectations for the future, I console myself that there is still a passion rescollo last somewhere between France and Germany. And that is called Bugatti Veyron rescollo.

Ettore Bugatti, was ahead of its time. Make cars impossible, impossible designs and very powerful engines, but they were expensive … so the brand disappeared shortly thereafter, leaving his credit machines are auctioned today in quantities in the millions.

Luckily, a few years ago, the president of a company like Volkswagen, he got the bright idea of ​​buying the brand and make super-sport with this instruction; as its founder wished. Of course, one thing is to buy a brand at a bargain price because the market did not exist as such, and quite another is to build a car with the standards Bugatti involves carrying the symbol on the nose.

The Audi engineers who were there present, they put their hands to the head, have you gone crazy?
Yes, but Piech was a man of his word and what he said he met, so the team went to work, and basically did something.

Once assembled businessmen, engineers, friends of the brand and buyers from around the world in a circuit, began an advance of what would be the ultimate supercar, but in a curve the car bolted, crashing into a guardrail and was destroyed .

Thus more or less, with a note of humor, was the story of the birth of the Bugatti Veyron back in 2005, several years of testing and research, but with the expected result, a sports 1001cv and a top speed of 407Km / h.
But many years devoted to the manufacture of this car, carry a large investment in technology never before known in human and equipment especially in economic resources and the development of this vehicle is estimated at 400 million euros.

The brand ensures that waste a lot of money for each sold Bugatti, specifically, make sure you hand them one of these sports involves an expenditure of about three or four million euros and sell about half, 1.5 million euros. But for the Volkswagen group, ie brand and what they lose by one side, recover on the other.

The fact is that since its appearance, this car has evolved and have been selling all the units in various limited series: the Hermes, the Pure Sang, the Sang Noir, Le Mans, the Pegasus, the Grand Sport … total, 260 units and 35 of the Veyron Veyron Grand Sport, which is the convertible. And to round off the market, the brand has now invented the Super Sport, with mechanical and aerodynamic additives that make the Veyron is more extreme, if possible.

This version 1200cv and reaches 432km / h, thanks to more effective ways to reduce the drag coefficient to the wind, a new structure that favors its torsional rigidity and the massive use of carbon fiber to achieve a weight the end lighter.

But that was not all, the chassis has been tweaked with the buffer, we have reinforced roll bars, exhaust system, rear diffuser and the suspension has more travel, for the guidance of this car is not as radical is a utopia for a driver who has no qualifications as a pilot.
Also the engine has been tweaked to produce 199cv and 24km / h more than the Veyron “normal”.

This version will be sold between 1.65 and 1.85 million in a limited edition of 30 units of which 5, will be painted black and orange, as the unit that broke the Guinness record for top speed in a production car, will cost 2 million euros and bear a plaque commemorating the moment.
