Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

What is the Fastest Production Car in the World

Introduction:

What is the vastest production car in the world? The answer was a Bugatti Veyron 16.4. A Italian car made in France and also in Germany. The car has a 8.0 liter W16 engine with sixteen cylinders in four banks of four. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and is 7,993 cubic centimeter. If you don’t understand what I just said then listen to this. It has 1,001 horse power (hp) thats only about lets say, 880 horses more than Sammy Bozzas ford focus! And when his car has only 1 radiator to cool his car, the Bugatti has 10. And the Bugatti goes 0 - 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and0 - 100 in 7.5 seconds, when Sam's Ford goes 0 - 60 in 8 seconds. And the Bugatti tops at a blistering 253 mph which covers one wholefootball field a second, and consumes and 2 gallons of fuel a minute. And you can get all this for a total of only 1.7 million dollars. But.... America created a car called the Shelby Ultimate Arrow that would top 256 mph, making it the fastest car in the in the world. Until a couple months latter Bugatti came out with a new beast to reclaim its title, “The Bugatti Super Sport.”
Discovery :

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is now the fastest production car in the world launched in August 2010. But to create this monster the normal Veyron was added a Volkswagen golf hp’s to it, which makes it now 1200 hp. And if your wondering why it need another 200 hp’s too give it a couple more mph was because of mother nature. Air resistance and friction is the only thing holding this car back. The faster you go the thicker the air becomes against the car. For example at 100 mph air resistance is like driving threw a light wiped cream, but at 200 mph its like a very thick cream cheese, and at 250 mph its like driving threw a fruit cake. And so cutting threw the fruit cake requires more than just added power but larger turbochargers, enlarged coolers, and, a new slippery carbon fiber body making it a full 110 pounds lighter. The Super sport goes 0 - 60 in 2.5 seconds which is the same as before, but besides that the car is a whole different animal. The supper sport goes 0 - 100 mph in 4.5 seconds which is almost two times faster than Jays Nissan Extera 0 - 60 mph time! The Bugatti Super Sport top speed is 267 mph, and this is no rocket ship it has air conditioning, a radio, and windscreen wipers. And cost a grand prize of 1.7 million pounds or 2.4 million dollars.

Purpose:

The purpose of this car was no cure for disease or travel to another plant but mastering the physics of friction, air resistance and pure power in a production car. This car has changed boundaries that cars can reach and will push others in the future this car will never be forgotten and forever challenged by its world record top speeds for a production car that is legal to drive on a public rode. This car purpose is to go fast!

Impact on the world:

The impact on the world was to blow peoples minds as being the first quad turbochargers in any car. And shock people on the amount of technology, time,and effort to create such a car that sets limits of insane engineering. This car is a stop and stare car with the engine underneath and the perception of the body on top.

One of the Few Places to Max a Bugatti:

For the Bugatti to hit its top speed it takes miles more miles to top out. So Bugatti went to Volkswagens top secret test track which is a huge 30 mile oval shape track that was built in an older cold war no fly zone near the old East German boarder. And the best part is that this test track has a 5.5 mile long flat straight road, it so long you can see the earths flex. It is one of the very few places in the world where you can max out a Bugatti. At the track the Bugatti crew waited on till the wind was calm and when the air was at its thinest. Another part of topping a Bugatti is the tires the tires were made to last 26 miles at its top speed and cost 20 thousand dollars. The crew said it was safe on these tires because the driver was told that the car would run out of fuel before the tires would break because it uses so much fuel exactly 1.7 gallons a minute at those speeds.




Journal Article: http://www.bugatti.com/en/super-sport/technology.html

The journal Article was the official web site for Bugatti veyron Super Sport. It talked about how they enlarged the turbo chargers, made the intercoolers better, made stronger role bars, increased the aerodynamics, and increased balance of the car by adding a carbon fiber body. Their goal was to create a classier faster sport car far above any other. And hell yes they did.
