The Bugatti Veyron is considered to be the fastest road-legal production sports car in the world. Even in the illustrious circle of the most powerful and fastest, the Bugatti Veyron plays a special role thanks to numerous superlatives: 1001 PS, a top speed of over 400 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds are promised to solvent customers. With the Veyron 16.4, Volkswagen revitalised the traditional Bugatti brand, which it had taken over six years earlier, in 2005. Originally the sports car was to have an 18-cylinder engine, but in the end the decision was made in favour of the eponymous 16-cylinder. The eight-litre engine initially produced 1001 PS, and even 1200 PS in the Super Sport version. At over 431 km/h, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which cost around 1.4 million euros when new, still holds the speed record for production vehicles today. In the ten years it was built until it was replaced by its successor, the Chiron, Bugatti produced numerous special editions and one-offs based on the Veyron.
Alternatively, the Volkswagen Group’s finest product is also available as a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with 1,200 PS and as a Gran Sport with a removable roof section – including an emergency soft top. With this soft top, the top speed is 160 km/h. Numerous special models and one-offs of the Veyron were also offered.
