Why The Bugatti Veyron’s Top Speed was 407 kph?

In 2005, Bugatti revealed the ground-breaking Veyron 16.4. It boasted 1001 HP, and was capable of reaching 407 km/h, but why 407? Reaching 400 km/h was more than enough. In those days, there was no other car manufacturer capable of delivering 1000 HP or reaching 400 km/h. Why was Bugatti obsessed with 407 km/h?

A few weeks ago, the fifteenth birthday of the Veyron 16.4 was celebrated, and Bugatti duly revealed some of the secrets. The most interesting was the top speed. So, why 407 km/h?

Ferdinand Karl Piëch specified the 407 km/h speed. He was the mastermind behind the revival of the Bugatti brand and the delivery of more than 1000 HP from a W16 engine. And he wanted to break the 406 km/h limit. Here is the story.

In the 1960s, Piëch had developed the iconic Porsche 917. It won the 24-Hour Le Mans race in the 1960s and reached 406 km/h on the Hunaudières Straight. For Piëch, Veyron had to go faster, and the easiest way to achieve this goal was simply to reach 407 km/h.

Piëch was the brain behind the VW Group’s decision to buy Bugatti, create the VW Phaeton and, indeed, many other outstanding feats of engineering. According to some rumours (and simple calculations), the VW Group lost nearly £5 million on every Veyron sold. But no doubt they recovered the loss through the servicing bills, and also through the Chiron.

A Second Hand Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC Edition at Jack Barclay London

Bugatti Veyron Orange HR Owen

Last week I managed to spot a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC at Jack Barclay Edition HR Owen London. Unfortunately, it is a second Veyron. As the production of Veyron is completed, it is impossible to buy a brand new Veyron.

So, this is your only chance at the moment to own a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC with 1200 HP and a W16 engine with four turbo chargers.

In addition, the 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox is mated with four handmade Michelin tyres that could turn a Louis Vuitton hand bag into an affordable product. (A set of Veyron tyres costs around £20,000).

Despite the staggering price of Veyron and its running cost, it is a classic. Veyron will always be remembered as the ground-breaking car of the 21st century.

The Last Bugatti Veyron | End of an Era

This is the last Bugatti Veyron available to purchase at HR Owen, Jack Barclay in London. End of an era! There will not be a brand new Veyron after this car is sold. Veyron became the world’s most powerful production car when it was announced with 1001 HP and kept this momentum with the 1200 HP version. The last Veyron is the 1200 HP version, the most powerful production car available at the moment.

Last Orders for Bugatti Veyron

Bugatti Veyron will be collectors item soon. The production of Veyron was quite limited, so it was not a proper mass production car of the VW Group. Therefore, it is quite hard to find a brand new Veyron in few months time. Because, Bugatti does not have no more than 30 cars available to sell.

And a part of the social responsibility, I found one of the very few brand new Bugatti Veyrons available to purchase. Here it is, Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport with 1001 HP at Jack Barclay HR Owen, London.

This Veyron is directly from the factory but 2011 model, not 2014. However, that’s still a brand new Bugatti Veyron!

How to Spot 1200 HP Bugatti Veyron

How to spot 1200 HP Bugatti Veyron, this is a not a fundamental problem of the automotive industry but it is good to know the trick. Before I start, Bugatti revealed the Veyron with 1001 HP and on 2010, they decided to add 199 more horses and increase the power to 1200 HP.

As a result of this, Bugatti added two additional fuel pumps and making it four fuel pumps! Also four larger turbo chargers, Veyron has four-turbo chargers already! Also, the whole body is from carbon fibre, so it is relatively lighter. 1200 HP Bugatti has the same amount of radiator, 11!

Now, how to spot a 1200 HP Bugatti Veyron. Very simple, check the front of the car and you will see the horseshoe grill. 1200 HP Veyron has a relatively larger grill and you will not see the raising part at the low end of the horseshoe grill. That’s the most significant difference. However, it hasn’t finished yet. The front air intakes located under the left and right headlights are relatively larger and radiators are exposed more for better air circulation.

From the rear, the diffuser and exhaust of the 1200 HP Veyron is different than 1001 HP model. 1200 Veyron has two significant exhaust ending but the 1001 Veyron only has one.

Engine size is the same 8-litre W16 engine just the horsepower and torque higher than the original Veyron.

You can easily spot the differences on the photos. And next time, you see and a Bugatti Veyron, you can easily tell its horsepower! But never tell the owner; you couldn’t afford to buy a 1200 HP Veyron.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse with Fully Deployed Air Brake

Bugatti Veyron is very well-known for its air brake! However, it is literally impossible to see the air brake of Veyron is fully deployed. However, at Jack Barclay in London managed to position the air brake into full position.

These are the very last pictures of the Bugatti Veyron, next year at these times there will not be any Veyron left, thus I won’t be able to share any more photos.

Second Hand Bugatti Veyron at 72000KM

Today I have a short and simple post, a second hand 2010 Bugatti Veyron from HR Owen Jack Barclays London with 72000 KM (45000 Miles) on dial! Basically, this owner drove around 18000KM per year with the Veyron.

If you wish to translate this number mileage into daily life, this Bugatti Veyron was driven like a normal family car! Treated like a VW Golf, probably contributed to daily grocery shopping as well.

I can’t skip this! A set of tyres costs around £24000! And I assume this owner replaced the tyres at least twice.

Bugatti Veyron are as solid as a VW Golf. Veyron experienced the same though criteria of VW production quality that is applied Golf. Veyron can run smoothly for a very long time (if you can afford it).  This Bugatti Veyron can be a great deal! Don’t worry about the 72000 KM, Bugatti will be fine.

Consumption? 8-lt quad turbo engine consumes 37.2 at urban with 539 g/km CO2 level!

How much? Call HR Owen, Jack Barclays :) Last notice, annual running cost of a Veyron is around £200,000!
