Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sports Car 2011

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sports Car 2011

































Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Making Waves Around The World

Volkswagen's Buggatti Automobiles S.A.S. has recently announced that by the end of February it would have delivered 60 Bugatti Veyron 16.4s. Such announcement has resulted to the over production of the Bugatti Veyron.
The production of the Bugatti Veyron was started in Alsatian Molshiem at the later part of 2005 while the very first delivery was made in March of 2006. It was also last year that the Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has been able to produce 50 units. The interesting part about the Bugatti Veyron is the fact that it's an entirely new product and there are no existing Volkswagen parts like for instance a Volkswagen thermostats that is available for the Bugatti and yet orders are coming in at an amazing volume.
In December of 2003, Dr. Thomas Bscher, the newly appointed president of the company was given the responsibility of managing Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. Aside from Dr. Bscher, Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber was also appointed as technical director and manager of Bugatti Engineering. The whole Bugatti project was reassessed and a new schedule for the completion date of the super sports car was made.
The production of the Bugatti Veyron has been limited to a maximum of 300 units. The number of the first Bugatti produced only reached 50 units but today Bugatti was able to increase its annual production and hasten delivery time.
According to Dr. Thomas Bscher at the International Geneva Motor Show, "In 2007 we are planning to increase the production of the Bugatti Veyron, because the order entry for the Veyron is getting close to 140 and we wouldn't want our customers to have to wait longer for their Bugatti." He also added, "It is not expected that most of the orders come from the US; traditionally the most important market for luxury vehicles. 30% of the 140 contracts received up to now with a down payment of EUR 300, 000, which is the condition for the production of the vehicle to start, come from the United States. This means that that is where - on a country basis- up to now most of the Bugatti Veyron have been delivered."
The biggest volume of the orders in Europe comes from Germany and England which are two of the most important markets for luxury cars outside US. The Bugatti Veyron has also created interest in Middle Eastern countries and the deliveries made to Arab countries highlight the pleasant sales trend of this unique vehicle.

2011 Bugatti Sports Car































Bugatti Car Show & Vehicle History

This Italian sports car was first manufactured in France by an introverted genius known as Ettore Bugatti. Bugatti had a legendary reputation for building some of the most expensive sports cars of the past century. The first Bugatti after the First World War did not fare well. The company had perennial financial problems all the way up to the 1950s.
The company underwent restructuring, refinancing and finally was sold to Volkswagen- who currently own the company. During the 30s, Bugatti did get a lot of help with engineering from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati.
The initial Bugatti were fancy bugatticars- more a work of art than anything else. Each part of the car was individually crafted and from this evolved the modern day glossy Bugatti that we know of today.
As a racing car, Bugatti did do well in many European races but the car was chiefly designed to be enjoyed on the road for a casual drive.
The classic Ettore Bugatti cars of the past included the Type 35 Grand Prix, The Royale, The Type 57 Atlantic and the Type 55 Sports car. Only a few of these classic cars exist today. It is estimated that there are about 2000 Bugatti cars in existence today.
In the late 90s, Volkswagen purchased the right to produce cars and soon manufactured the Bugatti EB 118 AND 218 Veyron. The Veyron was mass produced in 2005 and was found to be super fast car. It also consumed gas at an exorbitant rate. The original Veyron had many test failures. The latest Veyron 16.4 has fared better but is also costly and requires a lot of gas even for short distances. Because the car has always been bought by the super rich, sales of Bugatti have remained stable- untouched by the global recession.
However, when the gas prices peaked in 2008, all the Bugatti cars remained in the garage. It was costing close to $250 to fill the car in late 2008- and for those who love to put the pedal to the metal, the Bugatti tank will last 20-30 minutes.
