Bugatti has indeed marked a peak in automobile engineering with the creation of the current legend, Bugatti Veyron. It is the second fastest production car in the world reaching a staggering 407 Km/h. Starting at over $1.4 million the Veyron host extreme elegance, comfort, and performance, all in the same package. The Veyron presents a unique combination  of the utmost elegance with state-of-the-art technology. Its classy looks immediately identify the car as a Bugatti and adds it under the names of the most glorious cars.  It host a surface of clear smooth lines covering the Veyron from front to back. The front of the car truly portrays the name Bugatti with an elegant front grill contrasting with its impeccable headlights and at the same time giving the Veyron and elegant view. The back truly gives the Veyron its racing spirit, containing a retractable spoiler very similar to those of racing cars but without wrecking its smooth elegant design.  Now, to take this monster to a level of performance beyond imaginable you need a monstrous engine. The Bugatti Veyron uses a colossal quad-turbocharched 16 cylinder engine with 1001 hp, taking the car to a whole new level of performance. This engine is capable of accelerating the Veyron from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.46 seconds and reach 402 km/h in 55 seconds only 5 km/h away from its top speed, literally welding you to the back of your seat. However, all this power requires the latest technology from brakes to aerodynamics. At the top speed of 407 km/h the Bugatti Veyron produces enough upward force to lift its self of the road and into the air. Here is where the racing spoiler, and advanced aerodynamics all fuse up to create a perfectly balanced downforce to keep the Veyron controllable, on the road. Imagine what it would require o stop this kind of power. If you could imagine this you think of a unique Ceramic brake with eight titanium pistons on the front (of the car) and six at the rear for each wheel. These state of the art brakes can stop the Veyron to a standstill position from 400 km/h to 0 in just over 10 seconds (also helped by the racing spoiler which opens up to significantly reduce the stopping force). All these details help create a truly unique and extravagant sports, excuse me, racing car to become the master of speed.       (Information courtesy of Bugatti.
