VOLKSWAGEN DECIDED TO SILENCE THE COMPETITION! SOME OF WHOM HAD ALREADY STARTED TO SPEAK ABOUT "NEW" BUGATTI VEYRON?

They should never of spoken:

This car has an 8L V16 engine (Actually they are 2, 4L V8 engines which joined form an 8L V16), with 1001Hp @6000 rpm, 1250NM, 4 TURBOs and a 7 speed gear box !

IT GOES FROM 0 TO 100 KM/H IN 2.5 SECONDS(THE SUZUKI HAYABUSA 1300 GOES FROM 0 TO 100 KM/H IN 2.8 SECONDS)

O to 300 KM/H IN 14 SECONDS

MAXIMUM SREED IS 405 KM/H ... ELETRONICALY LIMITED

TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW FAST 405KM/H IS, AT THIS SPEED YOU WILL TRAVEL 113 METERS A SECOND!!

IF YOU PRFR TO SEE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT FORM:

For example, UNTIL NOW, The SECOND FASTEST SPEED IN THE WORLD WAS THE CELEBRATED MCLAREN F1 (387 KM/H) AND THE FASTEST WAS THE KOENIGSEGG JRC - (388 KM/H!)

If we place McLaren and Bugatti side by side in a straight line, the McLaren will tear off in first place until 193Km/h, then Bugatti is first to 321Km/h!

The fuel tank has a capacity of 100 litres.It is possible to drive with your foot to the floor for only12 minutes, then the tank will be dry! With all this power, the car burns rubber so Volkswagen literally needed to get Michelin to create a new type of tire for Veyron. The tires measure 265/30R 20 on the front and 335/30R 20 on the back. They are New! As for the brakes... they "are guaranteed" to make it possible to slow down from 402Km/h to 0 in only 10 seconds! The price? 1.230.000 Euros (for 300.000 Euros there is Lamborghini Murcilago)(About AU$2 million)
