If it weren't for its aerodynamics which keeps it firmly on the ground, the 16-cylinder, 4-wheel drive Veryon reaches speeds that would literally lift it off the ground.

To reach a constant speed of 250km/hr (155 mph), the Veyron only needs horsepower of 270-280, while offering a total horsepower of 1,001 and extraordinary performance. This kind of power makes it the fastest car on earth.

It only takes the Veyron an unbelievable 2.5 seconds to reach 100 km/hr (62 mph), but what is more impressive is that it only takes it 2.3 seconds to stop from this speed. The uninterrupted acceleration of the Bugatti Veyron gives the driver a feeling only felt by jet pilots.

The Bugatti Veyron's safety system has been designed to offer technological features that have scored maximum points in crash tests. In addition to the car's airbags and the innovative PAX System fitted to the tires and wheels, the Veyron sports a safety rear spoiler which, in case of emergency braking, acts as a 'parachute brake'.

The classic two-toned paintwork, available in five different color combinations, portrays the look of a race car, only stylish and sleek. With a price tag of $1,700,00, it can be said that the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the most exclusive car of all time.
