In addition to its performance, the model stood out for its level of finishes and materials, positioning it as a high luxury car. Throughout their production, special editions were launched that further raised their exclusivity.
He Bugatti Veyron It was presented in 2005 with a clear objective: redefine the concept of supercar. Under the direction of Ferdinand Piëch and with the support of the Volkswagen Groupthe model became a reference in terms of speed, technology and exclusivity.
He Veyron It was designed around a 8.0 -liter W16 engine with four turbocharger, capable of generating 1,001 hp and reaching speeds greater than 406 km/h. To manage that power, the vehicle incorporated ten radiators and tires specifically designed by Michelinwith a significant replacement cost and a useful life reduced to 4,000 km under normal conditions or 15 minutes at maximum speed.
Bugatti Veyron: an engineering achievement that cost more than
In addition to its performance, the model stood out for its level of finishes and materials, positioning it as a high luxury car. Throughout their production, special editions were launched that further raised their exclusivity.
However, the Veyron represented a financial challenge to Volkswagen. Investment in development amounted to 1,620 million dollarswhile the total production was only 450 units in ten years. Despite a sale price DE 1.7 million dollars per unit, Each car implied a significant loss for the manufacturer.

Beyond the financial balance, the impact of Veyron It transcended its own existence. The technology developed for this model laid the foundations for future supercar, allowing advances in aerodynamics, materials and motorization. His legacy was reflected in the Bugatti Chironwhich in 2019 established a new speed record with 490.48 km/h.
He Veyron Not only represented a technical and economic challenge, but also a declaration of intentions: the will to bring automotive engineering to the limit, without commitments.
