Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000 - expensive cars - drool!

April 14th 2009 23:23
Bugatti Veyron



This has style

this has class

it's lines are classic and one thing we can't argue about is whether or not it's expensive.

I guess we'll all agree IT IS!

So what is so special about it that it commands such a high price?

the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a top speed of over 400 km/h . The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS


Named after racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm. The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders.


According to Volkswagen, the car will be advertised as producing "1001 horsepower" in both the US and European markets. This easily makes it the most powerful production road-car engine in history



So if not by looks and they won't appeal to everyone it will assume great importance with its statistics, the best of these being its PRICE.


Happy travelling, for those who are prepared to be nearly $2M poorer.

As much as I love the Veyron, it's actually number two now in the speeds stakes.

The Shelby Supercars Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo set the new World’s Fastest Production Car
record with an average top speed of 411.76kph

But the Shelby is dog ugly, and made in the USA...
