Bugatti EB has started to manufacture the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron at the end of 2003, a factory located in Molsheim (France), where it was the original Bugatti factory until its first disappearance.
The Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron is a two-seater with carbon fiber frame covered with panels of aluminum and composite material of carbon fiber and Kevlar. It measures 4466 mm long, 1998 wide and 1206 high, is rather high, because of the air intakes above and draw attention to their route front of the biggest that there are currently.
The Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron has a 16-cylinder engine in 'W' (two banks of eight-cylinder V-close) in central rear longitudinal position. Its engine capacity is 7993 cc, took four turbochargers, two intercooler, 64 valves and direct injection. It has four-wheel-drive and a seven-speed semi-automatic with sequential control by means of cams located behind the steering wheel.
The Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron has only provided the data from 0 to 300 km / h: less than 14 s. The maximum speed is 406 km / h. Until now, and not counting the competition, there has been no model for building more or less regular who has reached such benefits.
It has a spoiler that deploys automatically when the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron reaches a certain speed; the movement of this aileron is to deploy upward and backward, 20 cm in each direction. To get high-speed aerodynamic support, especially at the rear axle, the floor of the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron has a certain form of inverted wing and the rear is a diffuser, which facilitates the flow of air under the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron.
W16 maintains the configuration of prototypes earlier, but with the V-90. It measures 710 mm in length and 767 mm in width, that is, is something bigger than the early prototypes. Another major change to the initial W18 and W16 engine is that it is an engine pressure. Its engine capacity is 7993 cc, has four turbochargers, two intercooler and direct injection. It has cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder and continuously variable distribution. The compression ratio is 9.0 to 1.
1001 Da HP (736 KW) of maximum power at 6,000 rpm, is much in relation to its cylinder (125 hp / l), which indicates that Bugatti has some intention of giving a "sporty" to the engine. In fact, a rated maximum speed is 1171 Nm, 94 per cent of maximum torque.
The maximum torque is 1250 Nm, between 2,200 and 5,500 rpm. That the actual average pressure reaches a very large (1964 kPa) indicates that this engine not only draws strength from having lots of engine capacity or many turbochargers; to a normal level would also be an engine with great force. There are few engines that give so much strength relative to its engine capacity (of the Aston Martin DB7 and, above all, the Mitsubishi Carisma Evo VII).
The interior continues to dominate the scalp, and the center console is done with a few pieces of aluminum to the dashboard reminiscent of the old Bugatti competition. As in the first 18.3 Chiron, the engine is started by a button located at the center console, next to the gear lever, but now the change can be done through some controls located behind the wheel and drive your gearbox seven gears.

Super New Lamborghini
Add Geneva previous exhibitions, the famous supercar hang Y - Lamborghini unexpectedly revealed images and details about the "new flexibility" Superleggera 2011 Gallardo LP 570-4.
Ownership of the name probably the longest lang supercar, Superleggera 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 is a new peak of the line Gallardo. Following the successful pattern Gallardo Superleggera process lang 2007 (sold more than 618 right turns only in one year), the "bo tot" new computer that operation, weight, outstanding aerodynamics computer than necessarily other members.
Load below 1340 kg dry weight, lightweight knit him than about 70 kg Gallardo LP 560-4, 570-4 LP Gallardo Superleggera Lamborghini model becomes the most light circulate on the streets. This is the result from the widespread use of carbon fiber texture components in foreign as well as furniture decorated in a body composed of aluminum and windshield, car window light polycarbonate material business many times over.
Face dark sports car form and start over with eyes designed to solve the three-shock revise, hut when batch sizes, large and diffuse set of upgrades, he published four massive, ZG set of Pirelli P-la Zero to 19 inch size class before the class 295/30 and 235/35 ... Interior highlighted type Alcantara leather jacket advanced, modern equipment such as air conditioning system, CCTV rear, power windows, positioning system satellite.
"Heart" of the form is new Lamborghini 5.2 L V10 engine capacity maximum 562 horsepower at 8000 deaths tua rpm and maximum torque 540 Nm at 6500 deaths tua rpm.
Equipped with e-gear box number 6 level as a standard device, Superleggera Gallardo LP 570-4 are available that speed tg from 0-100 km / h takes only 3.4 seconds from 0-200 km / h takes 10 , 2 seconds and maximum speed 325 km / h. Comparisons with previous form Superleggera 530 horsepower capacity, tg speed from 0-100 km / h takes 3.8 seconds and maximum speed 317 km / h, on the operation that she may invite more clearly impressive stop.
Not only stronger, faster, new members join the family proved a Lamborghini supercar "clean" with the level of fuel consumption and emissions of CO2 concentration improved 20.5% over the previous version. Details of production volume and cost of the car form will be published in Geneva to the exhibition.

Bugatti developing battery-powered 800 hp supercar - but range might be minuscule
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport – Click above for high-res image gallery
Battery-powered supercar introductions are becoming something of a regular occurrence at the Volkswagen Group. Last year Audi introduced the E-Tron at the Frankfurt Motor Show and now Bugatti is reported to be working on an even more powerful electric sports car and a development mule is reported to be running around based on a Bentley Continental chassis. The Bugatti is apparently powered by a pair of motors with a combined output of 800 horsepower and over 1,600 pound-feet of torque. It's not clear if that is the torque at the wheels (after going through the reduction gears) as it was with the E-Tron or the direct output.
It's not known if such a car will ever be built or if this development car is just a technology demonstrator. The problem with such a powerful car is range – or rather a lack of it. Power is the rate at which energy is converted. The more power you use, the faster the battery is depleted. In this case, full acceleration could drain the battery in just a few minutes, making it essentially useless. Fortunately, petroleum-powered Bugattis are built in such small numbers that their effect on the environment is absolutely negligible.

Drunk on the power output? Bugatti Galibier concept runs on ethanol
Bugatti Galibier concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
After months of speculation, Bugatti has finally pulled the wraps off its new four-door supercar concept just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show at an event for past customers and Bugatti-intenders. Up to this point, we've been referring to the French über-sedan as the Bordeaux, but it seems the actual car's moniker will be Galibier – the name of a difficult Alpine pass along the Tour de France.
Powering the Galibier concept will be a version of Bugatti's ridiculously powerful eight-liter W16 powerplant. Unlike the mill propelling the Veyron to ludicrous speed, this version is mounted up front and is capable of running on ethanol fuel, which may or may not allow the automaker to squeeze a few more ponies out of the engine... not that it needs it, of course. Plus, when swilling as much alcohol as the Galibier would be likely to ingest, it's hard to think of a car like this as eco-friendly.
One of the Galibier's most striking features is undoubtedly its two-tone outer shell, which is comprised of both polished aluminum for the doors and front fenders and a unique dark blue carbon fiber weave that shines through when illuminated. We also note a prominent center spine that recalls past Bugattis like the Type 35 and the classically beautiful Type 57.
Current reports peg the Galibier's top speed at 217 miles per hour (350 kilometers per hour), which, while slower than the Veyron's epic terminal velocity, is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Check out our gallery of high-res images below.
