Bugatti

For a number of years, the Mclaren F1 was the fastest road car in the world, but drastic changes have been made over the last few years. The hottest challenge to this top spot is the Bugatti Veyron. Crafted by Volkswagen, this is probably the best driving experience from a road car you will ever get.

Ferdinand Piech, the head of VW came up with the idea of manufacturing a car with 1000 horsepower that could do over 200mph, for those to whom money was no object. The outrageous price tag of £700,000 or roughly $1,100,000, is only reinforced by the fact it costs significantly more to produce. Yes, VW will be missing out on millions of dollars to sell this car, which is why the general opinion is that no other manufacturer would put together a road car you could buy, that would contest this performance and style.

Here are a few figures then; 1001, Horsepower! 14 radiators, Yeah 14!! Tyres specially developed by Michelin, $1800 each! 922lb of torque! 229 miles per hour or 370kph (believe it or not the standard configuration is restricted)

If you put a little more into tweaking the engine, you can get; 253mph, which is 407.5kph! Ten seconds to stop from 250mph! And a 100ltr fuel tank that can be emptied at top speeds within 12 minutes!

This is a major accomplishment in manufacturing, especially from a producer that does not have a background in Formula One like Mclaren and Ferrari. It really makes you wonder what they could achieve if they were to enter that field. To top it all, the car is stunning to look at as well!
