Subject: Bugatti Veyron by BillH on 2010/2/12 5:24:36 Mindblowing. Mindblowing engineering, Mindblowing performance. If you missed the TV program, try to see a repeat. 1,001 horsepower, 253 mph top speed limited by the computer. 0-100km (62mph) 2.5 sec, 62-0 2.2sec. 4,000 hp generated by the brakes, 253mph to 0 in 10 seconds. The rear wing flips to 55 degrees under braking, generating huge speed reduction Twin transmissions with twin clutches, one engages while one releases, seamless shifts (miliseconds) 10 handbuilt radiators The center section (no frame at all) where the seats are weighs 240 lbs. bare. The rear assembly (eng,trans, frame) is bolted to the center section with 14 titanimum bolts. The bolts cost $100 a piece. The car will run 155mph using only 280hp out of 1,001 The tires last 6,000 miles and cost $17,000 a set Damn |
