Overview
The most notable feature of the 2010 Veyron is its massive 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine, which produces an astonishing 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque. As an outcome, the Veyron touches a top speed of 253 miles per hour, making it the fastest street-legal production car in the world at the time of its release. The Veyron also boasts a 0-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds, making it one of the quickest cars on the road as well.
In addition to its impressive performance numbers, the 2010 Veyron also boasts a sleek and aerodynamic design. With a lightweight construction, the massive engine of the car adds significantly to its weight. However, to counter this, the car gets an electronically operated rear wing that adjusts itself according to the speed. Moreover, once the car crosses 124 mph, the rear wing also acts as an air brake to enhance the car's stopping. The car also has an active suspension system that lowers the car at higher speeds while keeping it absolutely stable at all times. Being an incredibly powerful vehicle with a monstrous engine, the Veyron has âterribleâ mpg numbers with only 8 mpg achievable during city driving and 14 mpg while out on the highways. However, Bugatti claims that at its top speed i.e 253 mph, the car will empty its 26.4-gallon gas tank within 12 minutes flat.
In terms of comparison, it is tough to think of any other car that can come close to the Veyron. The closest rival of the Veyron can be the Pagani Zonda F, which again has a much smaller engine and lower power count. In conclusion, the 2010 Bugatti Veyron is a true masterpiece of engineering and design. Its powerful engine and advanced techs make it one of the fastest and most capable cars on the road, while its luxurious interior makes it one of the most enjoyable cars to drive.
