There has been a great hype about the car in the Volkswagen group that owns and produces this car, rather beast, about the remodeling and giving a whole new driving experience. Guess what... they really HAVE!
This new Bugatti Veyron 2010 version features a magnificent 16 cylinder W16 engine, arranged in two 8 cylinder blocks. This new Bugatti Veyron boasts a 8.0L Turbocharged engine, having a total of 4 Turbos. This new Bugatti has been designed by a well known car artist, Ricardo.
This new Bugatti Veyron 2010 features a brand new 7 speed gearbox. This has been redesigned as the older one could not sustain the torque produced by the W16 engine.
The magnesium Plappy paddles on the sides of the steering wheel gives a "flappy paddle gerarbox" to this vehicle, giving it a gearshift time of 150 milli-seconds.
The gearbox has a dual clutch, which enables it to shift faster, much faster, than a regular car. One clutch is there for the odd gears i.e 1,3,5,7 , while another one is for the even gears having the control of 2,4,6 gears. When a gear is to be shifted, and a paddle is pressed, one clutch gets all set and ready to shift the gear, while another one shifts in the time frame of 150 ms.
The vehicle uses the Haldex traction system and provides the 4-wheel drive. The new Veyron uses the flat tires from the Michelin, which are specially designed for the Veyron to provide the maximum speed. The curb weight of the vehicle will be 2034 kilo grams.
The wheel base of the Veyron is about 2710 mm, while the length, width and the height of the model are 4462 mm, 1998 mm and 1204 mm respectively. The Bugatti Veyron has 10 radiators in total - 1 hydraulic oil radiator for the spoiler, 3 radiators for the engine cooling system, 1 engine oil radiator, 1 heat exchanger for the air-to-liquid intercoolers, 1 differential oil radiator, 2 for the air conditioning system and 1 transmission oil radiator.
The engine in the vehicle produces 746 kilo watts of power and a massive 920 lb ft of torque. The maximum speed of the vehicle is about 400 kilo meters per hour, and the most fascinating part of the story is that the Bugatti Veyron is capable of reaching the speed of 200 kilo meters per hour in just 7.3 seconds.
The one drawback of Bugatti Veyron is that at full tank of gas, and at full throttle, this tank would last for only 12 minutes! That is obvious for a sports car, but considering it as a regular car, it is just ridiculous!
Our score for this new Bugatti Veyron 2010: 8.8/10
