Design Structure of Bugatti Veyron. (14)

 

Bugatti Veyron



The Veyron is a car of engineering beauty, not the visual work of Monet. So it’s no disservice to bluntly describe the Veyron as a weird, insect-like machine with four huge tyres, an absurd number of scoops and winglets along the flanks and across the roof, featuring a distinctive white-and-red badge on the nose that reads ‘Bugatti.’



On the tail are written the letters E and B. On top of the engine, which has no cover and is exposed directly to the air for cooling purposes, are the numbers 16 and four; 16 cylinders, four turbochargers 250mph.

Asides from more power and torque (up to 1183bhp and 922lb ft), there are extra cooling ducts beneath the headlights and by its huge NACA ducts on the roof. The A-pillars are narrower than on the original Veyron and allow much better visibility from behind the wheel – something that’s needed when you’re going more than


                                       
Interior of Bugatti Veyron

Contrary to many other so-called supercars, the Bugatti Veyron, the fastest car in the world, does not require you to engage in any unique physical feats in order to board it. You can easily slide into the seat, which is made of carbon fiber and covered in thick leather, after negotiating the somewhat high, somewhat thick sill by pulling on the exquisitely crafted aluminum door handle, which opens the door wide.
