Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron
Volkswagen has released photos of the production version of the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron. The whole project is incredible, it could well have ended as a concept car from the 1999 Tokyo Show. Instead the production version is now frozen, cars will be sold for 1 million Euro each, 50 cars will be built each year by craftsmen in a new assembly shop established in Molsheim – The original Bugatti location.
The weight is commendably low, around 1600 kg, when the incredible mechanical content is taken into consideration. With 987hp from the 8 liter quad-Turbo W16 engine the power weight ratio will be top, and combined with good aerodynamics VW is talking about more than 400 kmh and zero to 300kmh in less than 14 seconds.
Traces of intense wind tunnel work are evident all around from air outlets in front of the doors to fins providing ram air to the engine cooling and active spoiler. It is a compact car, 4466 mm x 1998 mm makes it shorter and narrower than a Lamborghini Murcielago. But longer wheel base and huge 20in wheels gives the Veyron a unique, tough stance.
Even if the finalised production model looks exactly as the cars that have been present at recent Motor Shows, Volkswagen claims that each exterior panel has been altered. Not for appearance but for airflow management. Details like the creaseline along the sides of the car, or the side mirrors have all been subtly altered to aid aerodynamic stability and streamlining.
The interior is luxurious, weight saving has not been an issue there. Soft leather and tuned aluminium are repeated themes, with a very art deco execution. But why name one of this century’s automotive masterpiece after a second rate French racing driver who’s only claim to fame was that he co-drove Wimille’s Bugatti, coming first in le Mans 1939? There definitely are at least 20 more illustrious names one could end up with. Wimille for instance.
