It has been a long time coming, but Bugatti has finally revealed the production version of its awesome Veyron supercar as these first official pictures show.

And after a series of problems in development, the EB16.4 Veyron has silenced the critics by smashing the top speed record for road cars with a spectacular two-way average speed of 252.95mph at parent company Volkswagen’s Ehra Lessien test track in Germany.

Powered by a 987bhp, quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 engine, the finally betters the McLaren F1’s 240.10mph record set back in 1998. The million-euro supercar is unveiled this weekend at Bugatti’s headquarters in Molsheim, France.

The Veyron’s 922lb ft of torque is channelled through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox to all four wheels, propelling the 1888kg Bugatti from rest to 62mph in an outrageous 2.5sec.

The mclaren doesn't hold the record anymore though.
The CCR bet it.

Shame ford made it 10 years ago




























Type: Quad-Turbo V12
Displacement: 5927 cc
Horsepower: 720 bhp @ 6600 rpm
Torque: 660 lb-ft @ 4750 rpm

0-60 mph: 3.1 sec
0-100 mph: 6.2 sec
Quarter Mile: 10.9 sec @ 134 mph
Top Speed: est 235 mph

Sure they could of found another 200bhp.

Wasnt power, they struggeled to keep the chassis in one piece as the turbos kicked in.

Happy days

The one ford made was a v12 tho

I think it's amazing and I'd own one over anything else because it's so unique looking and the spec of that engine is just crazy

I wonder if a a big twin turbo conversion will make it quicker in the same way a big single turbo conversion is favoured on the tt rx7's and supras
