The Veyron is a design project to restore the "bugatti" brand, its aim was not to make money - each car cost £5 Million to build - and they sell then for £800,000.

Its the ultimate car, it has the handling of a Lotus Elise and is the fastest production road car in the world. If you let the Maclaren F1 set off and get to 120MPH then set off the Veyron, the Veyron would beat it to 200Mph - that is something special, faster than an F1 car.
The styling is controversial, but after seeing one in the flesh i just am amazed by the way it looks, you cant dismiss the car because you dont like the looks of it.

Oh, the engine produces 3000 BHP but only 1001 of it gets translated to the road - as 2000 get lost in the engine, the hydraulic lift for the spoiler, the 4WD system and so on. Now that is something.

The E36 M3 is about to become double old news? But it was always good news. Nearly 20 years has done nothing to taint the coolness of an E30 M3 for example.

You should wait to get the big dollar car for when you graduate actually. No sense getting an E46 and balancing it with crazy tuition as well.

I love the 5 Veyrons driving by, just listen to them roar. Watch the whole video to see the Veyron go 0-210kmh.

No he isn't I am sick of this car...

V16 twin turbo charged engine... car costs 5 million to build is designed to bring back the status of the Bugatti brand.

makes 3000hp, 2000hp is lost from extreme heat and most of this power goes into cooling down the engine. The rest is lost in the driveline.

1001hp rated
987hp SAE rating

such power losses must be a stretch. an awd system definitely never takes more than 20% of power. i also doubt that random parasitic whatever(hydrolic pumps, alternator, etc.) would ever rob more than 20%. ive never seen any solid sources on anything like what is being said.

from what I know it is correct most of the power is lost by the heat the engine makes...

Old repost. Check page 5.

So as to settle the current discussion.

"The engine produces 3000 hp but it takes 1000 hp to cool it, another 1000 hp get lost by heat and gas emissions and the remaining 1001 bhp are available at the wheels."
