All about the Bugatti Veyron

First shown as a Concept at the 2000 Paris Motor Show, the Bugatti Veyron has literally blown all other SuperCars out of it's way. It was built for speed, power, attraction, and the road, although there are a few drawbacks.

Firstly, Volkswagen own Bugatti, so it's costs VW an unbelievable 5 million pounds to make each Veyron.

Over 200 Veyron's have been sold so far, as as at least 300 Veyron's should be built at the end of 2011.

At full speed, which is 253mph, the fuel tank runs out of fuel in 12 minutes and wears out the tyres in 15.

And finally, the price has risen from £850,000 in 2005 to 1.1 Million Pounds in 2008.

It is powered by a massive 8 litre W16 Quad-Turbo, which produces 1000bhp, and 0-60 comes up in just 2.5 seconds. It is also one of Top Gear's favourite cars as well.

It was the fastest production car in the world, but it was taken over by the SCC Ultimate Aero, which reached a top speed of 256 mph in 2007.

Bugatti were not pleased about this, so now they are back with the Veyron SuperSports, and surprisingly it's even better.

The top speed of the car tops out now at 268mph. It was recently tested buy James May who is a co-presentes of Top Gear. In 2007, he took the original Veyron up to it's top speed. But in the SuperSports, he reached 259mph.
