WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE CAR-Bugatti Veyron

Would you believe that the most expensive car in the world was developed by Volkswagen? The Bugatti Veyron is a mid-engine grand tourer developed by Volkswagen and produced by the Volkswagen-brand Bugatti Automobiles SAS at their headquarters in Chateau St. Jean in Molsheim (Alsace, France).This is by far the most expensive street-legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car, reaching 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, and claims to be the fastest car, with a top speed of 253 mph. (Again, IT does not claim this so much as its builders do.) But that claim is not true, as noted in our No. 6 car, the SSC Ultimate Aero. Still, you would probably enjoy owning a Bugatti Veyron, you think?


Not just a super car that carries on the name of racing driver Pierre Veyron, who, while racing for the original Bugatti car manufacturer, won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was the most powerful and the faster car in the world when it first came out in 2005, it can easily pass as a super hero`s car like Batman. It has the fastest acceleration speed, reaching 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.
Endowed with a 8.0L W16-Cylinder, four turbochargers, and a dual-clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission, the Veyron can reach a top speed of 253 mph. Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for the engine cooling system, for transmission oil, a heat exchanger for the air to liquid intercoolers, for engine oil etc., the car has a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/tonne.

If we talk about performance we are dazzled by this supercars power to reach 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.3 and respectively 16.7 seconds, winning for herself the name of the quickest-accelerating production car in history. If we count the fact that the top speed of Bugatti Veyron is 253.2 miles per hour (407.5 km/h), a speed limited electronically to prevent tire damage (it can run even faster) we can understand why this spectacular car must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) when it`s running at top speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100 km.

Driven by a superstar like Tom Cruise, this supercar couldn`t name itself cheap, raising the Bugatti Veyron to a price tag of $1,700,000, a price that measures up to it`s quality. Many new designs has been released since 2006, the color might have changed, but the performance and power remain the same.
