Narrator:
THE CITé DE L'AUTOMOBILE

IN MULHOUSE, FRANCE,
WAS FORMERLY KNOWN

AS THE SCHLUMPF COLLECTION.

IT HOUSES THE LARGEST COLLECTION

OF CLASSIC BUGATTIS
IN THE WORLD.

WHILE MOST CAR COMPANIES
WERE FOUNDED BY ENTREPRENEURS

WITH A PURELY TECHNICAL
BACKGROUND,

BUGATTI'S CREATOR,
ETTORE BUGATTI,

CAME FROM A FAMILY OF
WELL-KNOWN ITALIAN ARTISTS.

THAT ARTISTIC HERITAGE
PLAYED A VITAL ROLE

IN THE DESIGN OF BUGATTI CARS,
LONG CONSIDERED

AMONG THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
EVER MADE,

BUT ART NEVER GOT IN THE WAY
OF SPEED.

IN FACT, BUGATTI BUILT ONE
OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY'S

MOST SUCCESSFUL RACE CARS --
THE TYPE 35.

AFTER ETTORE
AND HIS SON JEAN DIED,

THE BUGATTI BRAND WENT DORMANT
IN THE EARLY 1960s.

BUT VOLKSWAGEN BOUGHT IT
IN 1998,

AND BUGATTI CAME ROARING BACK
TO LIFE WITH THE VEYRON,

THE FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR
IN EXISTENCE.

BUILT HERE
AT ITS ANCESTRAL HEADQUARTERS

IN MOLSHEIM, FRANCE,
IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL

AND EXPENSIVE PRODUCTION CAR
IN THE WORLD.

♪♪♪

THE CARS ARE MADE HERE
IN A BUILDING REFERRED TO

AS THE ATELIER.

THE PEOPLE AT BUGATTI THINK
OF VEYRON

AS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A CAR.

TO THEM,
IT'S AN AUTOMOTIVE WORK OF ART.

EACH CAR BEGINS LIFE HERE
IN THE DESIGN DEPARTMENT.

AS FUTURISTIC
AS THE VEYRON MAY LOOK,

IT STILL FEATURES THE FAMOUS
BUGATTI HORSESHOE-SHAPED GRILLE

DEVELOPED BY ETTORE.

ETTORE'S SON JEAN WAS
A TALENTED STYLIST.

HE CREATED SWEEPING CURVES
THAT CAME TO DEFINE

THE BUGATTI LOOK,

AND THOSE CURVES REAPPEAR
ON THE VEYRON.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND STRONG,

CARBON FIBER IS
THE IDEAL MATERIAL

FOR CONSTRUCTING A SUPERCAR
LIKE THE VEYRON.

HERE, A MACHINE CALLED A PLOTTER
CUTS A SHEET OF CARBON FIBER

INTO THE REQUIRED SHAPES.

THE MATERIAL, WHICH IS STORED
AT MINUS 4 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT

TO PRESERVE ITS FORM,

IS HEATED TO PLUS 64 DEGREES
JUST PRIOR TO CUTTING.

AND BUGATTI USES DIFFERENT KINDS
OF FIBER DEPENDING ON

WHAT PART OF THE CAR
THEY'RE BUILDING.

WHERE CERTAIN COMPONENTS
REQUIRE FLEXIBILITY,

OTHERS NEED RIGIDITY.

A WORKER POSITIONS
THE CARBON FIBER IN A MOLD.

TO CREATE A PART, SHE MUST LAYER
MULTIPLE SHEETS, OR PLIES,

OF THE FIBER
IN A SPECIFIED ORDER.

THIS LAYERING PROCESS
ADDS STRENGTH.

TO AVOID CREATING ANY WRINKLES,
SHE CAREFULLY CUTS

AND OVERLAPS THE MATERIAL
AT THE CORNERS.

ALTHOUGH SHE MAKES IT LOOK EASY,
THIS JOB REQUIRES

AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SKILL
AND EXPERIENCE.

EACH LAYER OF FIBER MUST BE
CAREFULLY POSITIONED

TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.

THE PATTERN OF THE FIBERS
MUST BE PERFECTLY ALIGNED.

THE MOLD THEN COMES HERE
TO THESE GIANT OVENS,

WHICH ARE CALLED AUTOCLAVES.

AUTOCLAVES APPLY A COMBINATION
OF HEAT AND PRESSURE

TO CURE THE CARBON FIBER.

AFTER 4 HOURS OF BAKING
AT 275 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT

UNDER 87 PSI,
THE PART IS READY.

WORKERS REMOVE IT FROM THE MOLD.

WHILE ALMOST ALL THE WORK
OF CREATING A VEYRON

IS ACCOMPLISHED BY HAND,

SOMETIMES A ROBOT
COMES IN HANDY.

HERE A C.N.C. MACHINE TRIMS OFF
EXCESS MATERIAL

AND DRILLS ANY NECESSARY HOLES.

NEXT, THE PARTS COME HERE,

WHERE SKILLED CRAFTSMEN
PREPARE THE SURFACE.

THEY BEGIN BY SANDING
WITH A HEAVY GRIT MATERIAL.

THEY REPEAT THIS TIME-CONSUMING,
PAINSTAKING PROCESS

MULTIPLE TIMES WITH
INCREASINGLY FINER GRITS

UNTIL THE SURFACE
IS PERFECTLY SMOOTH.

THIS TECHNICIAN PERFORMS

A HIGHLY DETAILED
QUALITY CONTROL CHECK.

SHE INSPECTS EVERY INCH
OF THE SURFACE,

MARKING ANY IMPERFECTIONS
THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED.

THERE'S NO TIME RESTRAINT.

EACH COMPONENT MUST BE
ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.

USING PRECISION CALIPERS,

SHE CAREFULLY MEASURES
THE DIAMETER OF THE HOLES

TO ENSURE
THEY'RE THE CORRECT SIZE.

ONCE THE COMPONENTS
HAVE PASSED INSPECTION,

WORKERS MOUNT THEM
ON A MONOCOQUE CHASSIS.

LIKE TAILORS PUTTING TOGETHER
A SUIT,

THEY MAKE SURE THE PARTS
FIT TOGETHER CORRECTLY.

THE WEAVE PATTERN MUST ALIGN,
AND THEY EVEN MEASURE THE GAPS.

BUGATTI DESIGNERS LOOK FOR
INSPIRATION IN EVERYTHING,

FROM PIGMENTS
TO CHUNKS OF CRYSTAL.

HERE, DESIGNERS WORK
ON A BLUE-THEMED VEYRON,

DECIDING HOW BEST TO MATCH

DIFFERENT TINTS TO THE INTERIOR
AND EXTERIOR COMPONENTS

OF THE CAR.

THEIR INSPIRATION
IS THE RACING COLOR

THAT ADORNED
MANY EARLY BUGATTIS.

CARS RACING IN THE FIRST HALF
OF THE 20th CENTURY

BORE THE RACING COLOR
OF THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.

THE FRENCH RACING COLOR
WAS BLUE,

AND BLUE HAS BECOME
A DISTINCTIVE COLOR FOR BUGATTI.

LIKE NEARLY EVERY OTHER STEP
IN THE CREATION OF A VEYRON,

THE PAINTING PROCESS
IS ACCOMPLISHED BY HAND.

AND ONCE AGAIN, SKILL
AND EXPERIENCE ARE CRITICAL

TO DOING THE JOB RIGHT.

HERE, A PAINTER APPLIES
LAYER UPON LAYER

OF A CLEAR COAT.

OFTEN, CUSTOMERS REQUEST
A CLEAR FINISH

THAT REVEALS THE CARBON FIBER
STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH.

BUT CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CHOOSE
ANY COLOR THEY DESIRE.

IT COULD EVEN BE THE SHADE
OF RED FOUND ON A FAVORITE TIE.

TO GIVE THE COLOR DEPTH,

THE PAINTER MAY APPLY
AS MANY AS 10 OR MORE COATS.

Narrator: ONE LOOK AT THIS
COLOSSAL 16-CYLINDER ENGINE

AND ITS 7-SPEED DIRECT SHIFT
GEARBOX TRANSMISSION,

AND YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHY

THE BUGATTI VEYRON
HOLDS THE RECORD

FOR THE FASTEST PRODUCTION CAR
IN THE WORLD.

♪♪♪

VEYRON ENGINES ARE HAND-BUILT.

TWO EXPERTS BUILD EACH ONE
PIECE BY PIECE

FROM A COMBINATION OF
ALUMINUM, TITANIUM,

STEEL, AND MAGNESIUM.

THE PROCESS IS SO METICULOUS,

IT TAKES TWO WEEKS
TO BUILD A SINGLE ENGINE.

HERE, THEY INSTALL
THE CRANKSHAFT IN ITS HOUSING

BEFORE BOLTING ON TEMPORARY
SPACERS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE.

THIS WILL ALLOW THEM
TO ROTATE THE ENGINE BLOCK

IN PREPARATION
FOR THE NEXT STEP.

IT'S NOW TIME TO INSTALL
THE PISTONS,

WHICH CAN ONLY BE INSERTED
FROM ABOVE.

THE CONNECTING RODS
ARE MADE OF TITANIUM.

ILLUSTRATING BUGATTI'S FAMOUS
FLAIR FOR DETAIL,

ETTORE BUGATTI'S INITIALS
CAN EVEN BE FOUND HERE,

WHERE THEY WILL BE INVISIBLE
ONCE INSTALLED.

THE WORKER ROTATES
THE PISTON RINGS

TO PREVENT KNOCKING
AND TO EFFECTIVELY SEAL OFF

THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
FROM THE CRANKSHAFT.

THE WORKER THEN
OILS THE PISTON BY HAND

TO PREPARE IT FOR INSTALLATION.

A CLAMPING DEVICE UNIQUELY
DESIGNED TO HOLD PISTONS

ALLOWS HIM TO CAREFULLY
SITUATE THE COMPONENT

BEFORE SINKING IT INTO POSITION.

ROTATING THE ENGINE BLOCK,

HE REMOVES
THE TEMPORARY EXTENSIONS

TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT STEP
OF ATTACHING THE RODS

TO THE CRANKSHAFT.

THIS PART IS CALLED
THE CONNECTING ROD CAP.

AFTER APPLYING GREASE,

THE TECHNICIAN BOLTS THE CAP
ONTO THE CONNECTING ROD,

SECURING IT
AROUND THE CRANK PIN.

HE THEN USES A HAND TOOL

TO LOOSELY FASTEN THE BOLTS
IN PLACE.

THEN A CUSTOM-MADE DEVICE
FINISHES UP THE JOB,

SIMULTANEOUSLY TIGHTENING
THE FASTENERS

TO THE PRECISE TORQUE
SPECIFIED BY THE ENGINEERS.

A MONITORING SYSTEM
KEEPS TRACK,

ENSURING THAT ALL BOLTS
ARE CORRECTLY TIGHTENED.

NOW THE TECHNICIANS CAREFULLY
LOWER THE BEARING CASE

ONTO THE CRANK CASE,
SEALING IN THE CRANKSHAFT.

THE FINISHED 8-LITER,
16-CYLINDER ENGINE WILL PRODUCE

1,200 HORSEPOWER
AT 6,400 R.P.M.,

AND IT WILL HAVE A TORQUE
OF 1,100 FOOT POUNDS

BETWEEN 3,000 AND 5,000 R.P.M.

FIRST, THE TECHNICIANS
HAVE TO INSTALL

THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD.

THERE ARE TWO UPPER SECTIONS
OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD,

EACH FEEDING 8 CYLINDERS.

LIKE THE BULK OF THE ENGINE,
THESE COMPONENTS ARE ALUMINUM.

LOOK CLOSELY, AND YOU CAN SEE
A TINY VERSION

OF ETTORE BUGATTI'S INITIALS ON
THE HEADS OF THE ALUMINUM BOLTS

THAT SECURE THE MANIFOLD.

THE ENGINE IS NOW COMPLETE.

IT'S TIME TO TRANSFER IT
TO THE TESTING FACILITY

AND START IT UP.

THE ENGINE SPENDS EIGHT HOURS
ON THE TESTING RIG,

AS TECHNICIANS REV IT UP
TO ITS FULL POWER AND TORQUE

IN MULTIPLE CYCLES.

WHILE MONITORING
THE PERFORMANCE,

THE TECHNICIANS ALSO RUN IN
THE ENGINE.

THERE'LL BE NO NEED

FOR CUSTOMERS
TO BREAK IT IN SLOWLY.

[ WHIRRING ]

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS
AND TURBOCHARGERS GLOW RED-HOT,

THEIR SURFACE TEMPERATURES
REACHING

UP TO 1,470 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT,

WITH EXHAUST GASES
AT 1,800 DEGREES.

THE ENGINE IS NOW COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED, TESTED, AND RUN IN.

A TECHNICIAN PERFORMS
THE FINAL QUALITY CHECK

AND PREPARES IT FOR TRANSPORT.

THIS QUAD-TURBOCHARGED
8-LITER BEHEMOTH

PRODUCES
1,200 HORSEPOWER.

UNIQUE AMONG PRODUCTION ENGINES,
IT HAS 64 VALVES.

BUT THANKS
TO CAREFUL ENGINEERING,

IT ONLY NEEDS FOUR CAMSHAFTS.

AT ITS TOP SPEED,

THE ENGINE INHALES 53,000 LITERS
OF AIR PER MINUTE --

AS MUCH AS YOU BREATHE
OVER FIVE DAYS.

♪♪♪

Narrator:
NEARLY EVERY INCH

OF A BUGATTI VEYRON INTERIOR
IS COVERED IN LEATHER.

WITH HUNDREDS OF PIECES
OF LEATHER TO PREPARE,

IT TAKES 12 TO 15 COWHIDES
TO UPHOLSTER A VEYRON,

AND OF COURSE,
IT'S ALL DONE BY HAND.

♪♪♪

ETTORE BUGATTI ONCE SAID
OF HIS CARS,

"NOTHING IS TOO BEAUTIFUL,
AND NOTHING IS TOO EXPENSIVE."

HIS SON JEAN AGREED,
BELIEVING TAILOR-MADE SERVICE

SHOULD BE ONE OF
BUGATTI'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES.

CUSTOMERS CAN CHOOSE FROM ONE

OF MORE THAN ROUGHLY 45 COLORS
OF LEATHER.

BUGATTI SOURCES THESE HIDES

FROM COWS RAISED HIGH
IN THE MOUNTAINS OF AUSTRIA.

THAT ENVIRONMENT IS FREE
OF MOSQUITOES AND BARBED WIRE,

SO THE COWHIDES ARE
NEARLY FLAWLESS.

BUT INEVITABLY, THERE WILL BE
A FEW IRREGULARITIES.

THIS ARTISAN SPREADS A HIDE
ON A SPECIALIZED TABLE,

WHICH USES A CLAMPING DEVICE
TO STRETCH THE LEATHER TIGHT,

ALLOWING FOR CLOSE INSPECTION
OF THE SURFACE.

A BRIGHT, EVEN LIGHT HELPS
THE WORKER

METICULOUSLY EXAMINE
EVERY INCH OF THE HIDE.

WHEREVER SHE FINDS EVEN
THE TINIEST FLAW,

SHE CIRCLES IT
WITH A SPECIAL PENCIL.

WHILE THE FLAWS MAY SIMPLY BE

NATURALLY OCCURRING WRINKLES
OR DENTS,

THEY MUST BE MARKED
AND AVOIDED.

STEERING CLEAR
OF THE MARKED FLAWS,

THE CRAFTSWOMAN LAYS A SET
OF STENCILS ON THE LEATHER.

THESE REPRESENT
THE LEATHER REQUIRED

TO UPHOLSTER A DOOR.

SHE CAREFULLY TRACES

THE OUTLINES OF EACH STENCIL
ON THE HIDE.

SHE THEN REMOVES THE STENCILS
TO CLEAR OFF THE LEATHER

AND MAKE ROOM FOR HER SCISSORS.

IT'S THE SAME PROCEDURE
A SEAMSTRESS USES

TO MAKE A DRESS,
BUT IN THIS CASE,

IT'S A CAR DOOR
THAT'S GETTING AN OUTFIT.

GIVEN BUGATTI'S EMPHASIS
ON CUSTOM WORK,

IT'S NO SURPRISE THE ARTISAN
DOES HER CUTTING BY HAND.

CLIPPING DIVOTS AT INTERVALS
ALONG THE EDGES

WILL MAKE IT EASIER
TO ALIGN THE LEATHER PROPERLY.

IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT ALL THE PIECES

BE PRECISELY THE SAME THICKNESS.

THIS DEVICE SHAVES
THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LEATHER

TO THE SAME PRESCRIBED DEPTH --

IN THIS CASE, NEARLY HALF
THE ORIGINAL THICKNESS.

TO PREVENT BULKINESS
WHERE THE PIECES OVERLAP,

AN OPERATOR USES
A PURPOSE-BUILT MACHINE

TO SHAVE THE EDGES OF
THE LEATHER DOWN EVEN FURTHER.

THIS PROCESS, KNOWN AS SKIVING,
IS JUST ONE PRECISION ELEMENT

OF FINE LEATHER CRAFTSMANSHIP.

ETTORE BUGATTI
WAS KNOWN TO HAVE

A GREAT PASSION FOR LEATHERWORK.

THE MACHINE THIS ARTISAN USES
SIMULTANEOUSLY STITCHES

AND TRIMS THE PIECES
AS SHE WORKS.

BUGATTI'S ATTENTION TO DETAIL
IN UPHOLSTERING THE VEYRON

IS A THROWBACK TO THE EARLY DAYS
OF CAR MANUFACTURE,

WHEN SPECIALIZED COACH BUILDERS

MADE CUSTOM INTERIORS
FOR EACH CAR.

AS SHE WORKS,

THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR DOOR
BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE.

WITH A STEADY HAND,
A SKILLED CRAFTSWOMAN

APPLIES A DECORATIVE STITCH
USING A PALE BLUE THREAD

ON DARK BLUE LEATHER
TO CREATE CONTRAST.

A POPULAR CUSTOMER CHOICE,

THIS STITCHING TECHNIQUE
IS CALLED QUILTING.

A FINISHED EXAMPLE OF THIS STYLE
OF DECORATIVE STITCHING

WILL COVER AN ARMREST THAT FORMS
PART OF THE CENTER CONSOLE.

WHEN IT COMES TO LEATHERWORK,

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE
NEARLY ENDLESS.

CUSTOMERS CAN EVEN CHOOSE
A WOVEN PATTERN

FOR THEIR UPHOLSTERY.

A WORKER NOW BEGINS
THE PAINSTAKING PROCESS

OF ATTACHING THE LEATHER
TO ITS SUBSTRUCTURE.

HE BEGINS BY CAREFULLY

AND THOROUGHLY WEDGING
A SECTION OF SEAM INTO A SLOT.

NEXT, HE BRUSHES A GLUE
ONTO THE SUBSTRUCTURE

AND CAREFULLY BRINGS THE LEATHER
OVER IT.

THIS GLUE IS
A POLYURETHANE-BASED ADHESIVE

THAT REMAINS FLEXIBLE
EVEN AFTER IT CURES.

TO WORK PROPERLY, THE GLUE
MUST BE THERMALLY ACTIVATED.

HERE THE UPHOLSTERER
USES A HEAT GUN TO DO THE JOB.

A FLAT HANDHELD DEVICE
REMOVES ANY AIR POCKETS

THAT WOULD COMPROMISE
THE ADHESION

AND ENSURES THAT THE LEATHER
HUGS THE SUBSTRUCTURE TIGHTLY.

THE DOOR PANEL HAS BEEN
FULLY UPHOLSTERED AND TRIMMED.

BUT WILL IT FIT?

TO ENSURE THAT
ALL THE DIMENSIONS ARE CORRECT,

A WORKER ATTACHES THE PANEL
TO A MOCK-UP DOOR.

A QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR
THEN VERIFIES

THAT ALL LEVERS AND KNOBS
ARE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.

SHE ALSO USES A SPACER
TO EXAMINE THE DIVIDE

BETWEEN
THE UPHOLSTERY COMPONENTS.

THESE GAPS MUST BE UNIFORMLY
THE SAME WIDTH.

BUGATTI CALLS

ITS 1,100-SQUARE-FOOT
PRODUCTION FACILITY

THE ATELIER.

INSTEAD
OF A TYPICAL ASSEMBLY LINE

FOUND IN MOST CAR FACTORIES,
THE VEYRON IS ASSEMBLED

AT INDIVIDUAL STATIONS.

HERE, A TECHNICIAN UNITES
THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE ENGINE

AND CAREFULLY BOLTS THEM
TOGETHER

WITH A HANDHELD RATCHET.

THE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
OF THE CAR'S REAR SECTION

HAVE ALL BEEN ASSEMBLED.

TECHNICIANS PUSH THE BACK END
ALONG A TRACK

TO MEET THE FRONT.

THE TRACK SITS BELOW THE FLOOR
AND IS COVERED BY METAL PLATES

THAT OPEN AND CLOSE
AROUND THE TROLLEY FEET

AS THEY MOVE.

THE WORKERS JOIN
THE TWO SECTIONS

WITH JUST 14 TITANIUM BOLTS.

ONCE AGAIN,
THEY USE HANDHELD RATCHETS

RATHER THAN POWER TOOLS.

THE POWERFUL MECHANICS OF
THE VEYRON HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED,

BUT A BUGATTI IS NOT A BUGATTI
WITHOUT ITS SCULPTED EXTERIOR.

TO BRING THE VEYRON
TO ITS ARTFUL CONCLUSION,

TECHNICIANS WEAR WHITE GLOVES

SO AS NOT TO MAR THE SURFACE
WITH FINGERPRINTS.

THEY INSTALL EACH COMPONENT

WITH THE SAME CARE AND PRECISION
USED THROUGHOUT.

BUT BEFORE REACHING THIS STAGE,

AN EXPERT TESTS
THE CAR'S SYSTEMS

AT THIS ROLLING TEST STATION.

THESE COMPONENTS ARE A PART
OF THE REAR WING ASSEMBLY.

AT HIGH SPEEDS,
THE REAR WING EXTENDS

AND PROVIDES
MASSIVE DOWNWARD FORCE

TO KEEP THE CAR FIRMLY
ON THE GROUND.

AND WHEN THE DRIVER BRAKES,
IT IMMEDIATELY FLIPS

TO A VERTICAL POSITION,

ADDING THE BRAKING POWER
OF A HATCHBACK

TO THE CAR'S POWERFUL
CERAMIC DISCS.

[ WHIRRING ]

HERE, A SPECIALIST PREPARES
THE CAR

FOR ITS FINAL INSPECTION.

THE CAR WILL SPEND
TWO ENTIRE DAYS AT THIS STATION,

AS HE PAINSTAKINGLY BUFFS
AND POLISHES THE CAR

TO SHINING PERFECTION.

HE MUST ENSURE

THAT EVERY INCH
OF THE SURFACE

IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.

IF THERE ARE ANY IMPERFECTIONS,
THIS MAN WILL FIND THEM.

IT'S HIS JOB TO GIVE EACH VEYRON
ITS FINAL INSPECTION.

NO BUGATTI LEAVES THIS FACILITY
WITHOUT HIS APPROVAL.

SURROUNDED
BY FULL-SPECTRUM LIGHTS,

THE CAR UNDERGOES
A METICULOUS EXAMINATION.

IF THE INSPECTOR DISCOVERS
ANY FLAWS,

HE WILL SEND THE CAR BACK
TO THE PREVIOUS STATION

FOR MORE POLISHING.

BEFORE A VEYRON GOES
THROUGH FINAL INSPECTION

AND SIGN-OFF,
AN ENGINEER TAKES THE CAR

OUT TO A TEST TRACK
AND DRIVES IT 185 MILES

FOR A FINAL DYNAMIC
APPROVAL TEST.

THE BUGATTI VEYRON HAS SET
TWO WORLD RECORDS --

ONE FOR THE FASTEST PRODUCTION
ROAD CAR

AND ONE FOR THE FASTEST
CONVERTIBLE WITH THE ROOF DOWN.

THIS ORANGE AND BLACK

BUGATTI VEYRON 16.4
GRAND SPORT VITESSE

IS THE CAR THAT SET
THAT SECOND RECORD

BY GOING 253 MILES PER HOUR
WITH ITS TOP DOWN.

AND TRUE TO THE BUGATTI LEGACY,

IT LOOKED GOOD DOING IT.

YOU'D NEED TO GO 93 MILES
AN HOUR JUST TO GET THIS CAR

OUT OF SECOND GEAR.

IT ACCELERATES FROM ZERO
TO 60 MILES PER HOUR

IN 2.6 SECONDS,

FROM ZERO TO 120 IN 7.1,

AND FROM ZERO TO 180 IN 16 FLAT.

IT'S NO WONDER THE VEYRON
HAS ACHIEVED

ICONIC STATUS
AMONG SUPERCARS AT WARP SPEED.
