1. Bugatti Veyron

2. Bugatti Corporate Logo
Milan-born Ettore Bugatti worked for other companies like Mathis and Deutz before he
decided to open his own car company in France (Strasbourg).
One Bugatti creation was the Type 30 made with 8 cylinders.
That was in 1922. Two years later, the type 35 came out which were developed into
two versions: 35A and 35B.

3. 1999 EB 218 concept car
The 1999 Bugatti Chiron 18.3 concept
car was first presented at the
International Motor Show Cars (IAA) in
Frankfurt/Main

4. Bugatti was founded in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace, as
a manufacturer of high-performance automobiles by Italian-
born Ettore Bugatti.

5. The studio, located near the
former and current Bugatti
offices at Château Saint Jean,
is the newly created
production site for the
Veyron 16.4*), Bugatti’s latest
The Chateau Saint Jean
today, fully modernized and
renovated. In the
background: one of the two
former coach houses

6.  Bugattis were well
known for the beauty
of their designs (Ettore
Bugatti was from a
family of artists and
considered himself to
be both an artist and
constructor) and for the
large number of races
they won.
 Today the name is
owned by Volkswagen
Group, who have
revived it as a builder
of limited production
exclusive sports cars.

7. First seen in the 1999
Bentley Hunaudières
concept car, the W16
would have four
turbochargers and
produce a quoted (metric)
1001 horsepower (see
engine section for details
on the power output). Top
speed was promised at
407 km/h (253 mph), and
the price was announced

8. The fuel tank can hold 100 litres If
driving at top speed ,the fuel tank
will be empty in 12 minutes.
There has never been a car driving
at these speeds ,accordingly
Volkswagen requested Michelin to
produce a special tire for this car
The breaks are truly special ,you
get the warranty that this car at 405
km/hr will be at a stand still in 10
secs …..

9. One thousand and one
horsepower, sixteen cylinders,
seven speeds and over
400km/h – transmission
engineering challenges don’t
come much tougher
than Bugatti’s fabulous million-
euro Veyron supercar. Tony
Lewin reports on
the support provided by
Ricardo in the development and
manufacture of one
of the most sophisticated
driveline systems ever
conceived

10. The Veyron Buyer
Every buyer except
one, so far, has been male, and
the demographic is predictably
lofty: typically mid-40s to early
50s, net worth $200 million, owns
15 cars and puts about 1,500
miles
on the Veyron in a year, according
to Bugatti U.S. market manager
John Hill.

11. Bugatti has always been the epitome of exclusivity, luxury, elegance, style, extraordinary desig
and a great passion for automobiles.

13. Some of the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 supercar's facts and
figures.
0 - 60 mph - 3 seconds
0 - 125 mph - 7.3 seconds
0 - 187 mph - 16.7 seconds
0 - 250 mph - 55 seconds
250 - 0 mph - 9.8 seconds
1,000,000 - the price of a Veyron in Euros
1,121,000 - the price in US dollars
683,200 - the price in English pounds

14. If a Mclaren F1 traveling at 100 mph went past a stationary
Bugatti Veyron, and the Veyron set off at full acceleration as the
Mclaren passed, the Veyron would top 200 mph first.

15.  High Performance
The car’s safety systems have been designed to cope with its
extraordinary performance, acceleration and speed. The single-piece
carbon fiber monocoque alone scores maximum points in crash tests, while
airbags give the driver and passenger additional protection.

16. The high-speed tires designed specially for the Bugatti Veyron
16.4 (for vmax. > 350 km/h), sizes 265-68 R 500 A (front) and 365-
71 R 540

17.  Another Bugatti Veyron 16.4 component with a safety element is the rear
spoiler. It acts as a kind of ‘parachute brake’ during emergency braking. The
spoiler tilts and the additional air resistance this generates reduces the
braking distance to that of a lorry.

18. The Art of the Machine
The W16 alloy engine developed by Bugatti for the Veyron 16.4 has a special and
absolutely unique place in the history of sports car construction. Its design employs
the space-saving VR principle with two particularly slender eight-cylinder blocks
arranged at a 90° angle to each other.
