Bugatti Veyron!!

[ehaab]

..man this monster will atlast be going into production...
just look at the specs..

8000c W16 1001HP@6000rpm... 4 Turbochargers..

0-62mph in 2.5secs 0-186mph in 18.7 sec

topspeed ..world record now..253mph.

The sports car, capable of more than 400 km/h, is driven by a 16-cylinder mid-engine, that at 710 mm
long is no larger than a conventional V12 unit, and due to its lightweight construction weighs only
about 400 kilos. Its compact dimensions are due to the unique arrangement of its cylinder banks in
a W configuration. Two VR8 blocks, each with a fifteen degree bank angle, are joined in the crankcase
to form one engine. Both eight cylinders are set at an angle of ninety degrees to each other and are
aspirated by a total of four exhaust gas turbochargers. The engine delivers 1001 HP at 6,000 r.p.m.
and provides a maximum torque of 1250 Newtonmetres at between 2,200 and 5,500 r.p.m.

ohhh..ya..and its gonna be around 1million US dollars...

Not forgetting... 4WD!

Finally this car will be in production. This car was out at least 5 years back but due to many unforeseen circumstances, it was delayed till now.

It was the brainchild of VW ex-boss Ferdinand Pierch to put this car in production. The man who was clocked doing some 300++kmh on the way to his workplace in a Mclaren F1.

haha..boss of VW drives a Mclaren?

wow..a 8.0 turbo = 1000bhp/1250 Nm?
if a 2.6 skyline can get at least 600bhp, imagine what a 'gatal tangan' owner can do to a 8.0..

Woe betides the man who decides to screw around with that engine. It took VW years to solve all the gremlins of putting this car together for production.

 

[ehaab]

the engine is a work of art..it took a long time for them to solve all the problems they had...but just look at it...droool...

by the way another company that belongs to the VW group...

To apply the power of the 64-valve unit to achieve satisfactory driving dynamics both in everyday traffic
and on the racetrack, the Bugatti development team of Dr. Franz-Joseph Paefgen and Dr. Wolfgang
Schreiber has realized a propulsion unit that is without parallel in its complexity. If the extreme
engine power is a master stroke of genius, its conversion for road use is an equally tough challenge.
As Dr. Schreiber says “For 1000 HP propulsion power, the system demands approximately 2000 HP
to be additionally generated as heat energy during combustion. Half in each case is dissipated in
the exhaust gas and cooling water

The power generated in the engine is transferred to the flange-mounted direct manual gearbox (DSG).
The torque and speed is then transmitted, through the gearing of seven forward and one reverse gear,
via a universal drive to the front axle gearbox and via a second universal drive, along the right side of
the engine to the rear axle gearbox.

imagine the road tax and insurance for this thing.... :tongue:

 

[ehaab]

ahhaha..a lot if malaysia..well if u can afford it..then road tax /insurance/petrol..would not be an issue...

 

[HKS-GT2835R]

imagine the road tax and insurance for this thing.... :tongue:

naah..
IMO if a guy can own a viper or a Hum-vee, then the bugatti's roadtax won't be much of a difference.:tongue:

 

[dreamy]

i think malaysian ppl canot afford for this car ler...
except for those damm damm dammm rich ppl

 

[si|verfish]

You think?

 

[Slipknot Fanatic]

I think this car would fetch around more than RM6 million. Crazy road tax.

 

[4agze]

let's see who owns it in malaysia... then...

 

[si|verfish]

Someone with a lot of APs and flies around in a helicopter? ;)
