Veyron Speed Test

A classic game testing speed and memory featuring stunning images of the ultimate production car ever made, the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4.

With unique images, race against the clock while admiring details of the Veyron EB 16.4, the most expensive production road car ever. It was also the fastest when launched with a top speed of 408.5 km/h or approximately 254 mph.

Powering the Veyron is an 8.0 litre W16 engine with sixteen cylinders in two banks of eight, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a "W" configuration. The engine has 64 valves and is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993cc or 487.8 cubic in.

This engine delivers 1001 metric horsepower or 736 kW or 987 bhp. This gives the car a power to weight ratio of 446.3 bhp per ton.

This awesome car also has permanent four wheel drive using the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin PAX run flat tyres, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyrons top speed. These alone are apparently $25,000 per set.

The top speed has been verified on a number of occasions. German inspection officials recorded an average top speed of 408.47 km/h or 253.81 mph during test sessions on the Ehra-Lessien test track in 2005.

Jeremy Clarkson noted that at top speed the engine consumes 10,000 imperial gallons or 45,000 litres of air per minute (as much as a human breathes in four days).

You would be very lucky to see a Veyron as only around 200 have been sold at a price of €1,223,679 - over $1,500,000. It is however reported that Volkswagen make a huge loss as each car costs €5,000,000 to build.
