Bugatti Veyron 2010 Saudi Arabia Prices & Specs

The Veyron 16.4 was a long-running pet project by Volkswagen to create the fastest production car in the world at the time, reintroducing the Bugatti badge in style. Goofy looks notwithstanding, the styling is an essential part of the design to ensure total stability at top speed. The car is powered by an 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine derived from Volkswagen designs, mated to all-wheel-drive and a seven-speed direct-shift automanual gearbox. The fully customisable interior is covered in leather and metal, with numerous features such as CD stereo, navigation and more. The single-piece carbon-fibre monocoque does well in crash tests, while airbags give the driver and passenger additional protection. The high-speed tyres designed specially for the Veyron 16.4 incorporate the PAX System that ensures safe handling even after sudden pressure loss. Another safety element is the rear spoiler that acts as a "˜parachute brake' during emergency braking. A second key must be engaged when stopped to initiate "top speed" mode, when the rear spoiler sets itself to a lower position, the front air diffusers close and the vehicle lowers to further improve aerodynamic downforce. A limited-to-150-pieces Grand Sport model was released in mid-2008 with a removable targa-roof panel.
