300 km/h in under 14 seconds

From a standing start, the Bugatti EB 16-4 Veyron passes the 300-km (186 mph) mark before 14 seconds have elapsed. A unique acceleration figure, even if largely a theoretical one. The real character of the Bugatti is to be sought in the unbelievable torque it places at the driver's disposal.

7-speed gearbox

New seven-speed gearbox with double clutch system

Had it not been developed specifically for the Bugatti EB 16-4 Veyron, the new seven-speed gearbox could well have come directly from the pen of a top Formula One racing car designer. Gear shifts take place sequentially at paddles behind the steering wheel, and there is no clutch pedal. The double clutch transmission (DCT) shifts from one gear to the next in a maximum of 0.2 of a second. Power from the engine reaches the wheels through a permanent all-wheel drive system.

 

Damn ......that car looks nice.......

the seven speed thing with the double clutch (DCT) was very interesting...............

 

That car was in the Car & Driver mag.....


Does anyone know what the price tag has on it????

 

You know what they say..........If you have to ask then you cant afford it.

Like any of us can really but something like that!

 

That car is hot ! The price range for that car is around $190,000+ i believe but i could be wrong, but its gonna cost a bundle

 

The transmission is similar to ferarri's transmission. I think it has 6 speeds, though. I think it takes less time between shifts too... Nice car, though

 

NASTY
bRUCE

 

Are they finally gonna make it?? Last i heard they were still planning w/ no production date set

 

Yes, but there are four of them!

 

turbo's are too small? hehe. yes... four of them though. add those to the sickness of the W engine, pushing like 1001(?) horsepower. oh yeah. I can't wait for the W engines to be put in the Passats. :] W engine, 4 motion, w00t!
