The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a 2-door grand tourer coupé designed and manufactured by Bugatti Automobiles SAS, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. It unofficially held the title of being the world's fastest and most powerful street legal production car before being superseded by the SSC Aero.[2] The engine generates 736 kilowatts (1,001 PS; 987 hp), propelling it to a proven top speed of at least 408.47 kilometres per hour (253.81 mph), and has a price of approximatly €1,100,000, making it one of the the world's most expensive street legal production car.[3][4]
The Veyron is named after the French racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans while racing under the original Bugatti marque. It is currently manufactured in Volkswagen's factory in Molsheim, Alsace, France, near Bugatti's headquarters in Château Saint Jean,[5] with 70 units built annually.[6] A total of 300 Veyrons are expected to be built, excluding special editions and trims.[7]

The Veyron sports an 7,993-cubic-centimeter (8.0 L), quad-turbocharged, W16 engine that generates 736 kilowatts (1,001 PS; 987 hp) of power at 6,000 revolutions per minute and 1,250 newton-meters (920 lb⋅ft) of torque from 2,200 to 5,500 revolutions per minute.[8] Although Bugatti advertises the output as 1,001 horsepower, the production engines produce between 1,020 and 1,040 metric horsepower.[3] Its four rows of four cylinders have bank angles of 15 and 90 degrees, with cylinders spaced 73 millimetres (2.9 in) apart. Each cylinder has a bore and stroke of 86.00 and 86.05 millimetres (3.386 and 3.388 in), respectively, with four valves controlled by a single overhead camshaft. Its four turbochargers have a maximum mean effective pressure of 19.7 bars (286 psi).
The power is fed to the wheels through a 7-speed, dual-clutch, direct-shift gearbox, sporting a shift time of 8 milliseconds. The gearbox may run as an automatic or as a manual by use of paddles behind the steering wheel. Furthermore, it employs a full-time all-wheel drive system with a Haldex clutch.[9]

[edit]
At the Geneva motor show in 2008, Bugatti announced a partnership with the French fashion house Hermès, resulting in the Fbg par Hermès trim as a tribute to the 1924 Bugatti Type 35.[10] The interior is hand-trimmed by Hermès leather and includes specially designed Hermès luggage to fit in the trunk. Exterior changes include an H-pattern grill, 8-spoke polished aluminum wheels, central butterfly wheel locks branded with the letter H, air vents around the rims, and a Hermès-engraved fuel filler cap.[11] Built for Rodrigo Cañizares,[citation needed] Bugatti later made four new color schemes available for order with the Hermès Veyron: "indigo blue and vermilion," "indigo blue and lime green," "black and garance red," and "Prussian blue and blue jean."[10] Each order would take one month to complete, and was originally priced at €1,550,000.[10]
