2013 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse; engineering masterpiece

The 2013 Bugatti Veyron Grand sport Vitesse broke the record of speed in automobiles as soon as it was released in 2012 in the Geneva auto show. This speed car reached a speed of 268 miles per hour. It has a power of 1200 HP (hours power), and a 1500 N.m (newton.meter) torque which is equivalent to 1106 p.ft (pound.ft) torque. It’s design and features looks much like the super sport Veyron made by Bugatti. A statement by Bugatti about the Grand sport Vitesse has been made saying that it has been ” optically aligned to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.” However, This increase in both speed and power was due to other factors.

One of the factors that led the Veyron Grand sport Vitesse to gain such superiority is that engineers increase the size of the turbochargers and inter-coolers to boost the 8.0-liter W-16 engine to 1200 bhp and 1106 lb.-ft. of torque. “The rapid success of the Super Sport convinced us to increase the performance of the Bugatti roadster. Once again our engineers worked hard to demonstrate that Bugatti is able to constantly redefine the boundaries of what is technically feasible,”asserts Bugatti’s President Wolfgang Dürheimer. “We gave our all to transfer the achievements of the Super Sport over to the Grand Sport, thereby turning open-top driving itself into an extraordinary experience at high speed.”

Another aspect of the brilliant design of the 2013 Bugatti Veyron Grand sport Vitesse is the open roof in the exterior and the additional chassis supports. These additions helped the Vitesse to handle more power and speed with adding a smoother aerodynamic structure. The Vitesse’s weight of 4,160 lbs helped in making its handling very sharp. Even critics admit that. A “”huge achievement,” said Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 after being behind the wheels of the 2013 Vitesee. Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson stated “the best car ever made” after driving the Vitesse. He described it as ” utterly, stunningly, mind blowing, jaw droppingly brilliant.”
