The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport may be the ultimate high-performance exotic supercar. The Super Sport is a new, sportier version of the Veyron that provides an even more extreme driving experience. In a standing start race with a McLaren F1, you may allow the Mclaren a 'head-start' to reach 125mph, and the Veyron will catch it, overtake it, and beat it, to 200 mph!
The Super Sport's engine, an 8.0-litre W18 with four turbo chargers, is the most powerful ever to be built into a production vehicle - 1200 horsepower and 1106 lb-ft of torque results in an unparalleled forward thrust, sent through a 7-speed dual clutch transmission to an all-wheel drive system. (10) radiators for engine, transmission, oil, driveshaft, Carbon-ceramic brake discs, a rear wing air-brake and an automatic height adjusting suspension are standard. Forged alloy wheels and tires were designed specifically for the Veyron in order to handle the incredible top speed. A wide variety of paint colors in monotone or two-tone applications, or even clear-coated carbon fiber body panels, are available. Standard features include heated leather and carbon fiber sport seats, a navigation system and a Puccini audio system. The color of nearly every surface can be specified by the customer.
Almost unbelievably, the 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque in the Veyron 16.4 were deemed insufficient by some, so Bugatti engineers boosted power (with larger turbochargers and bigger intercoolers) to 1200 horsepower and 1106 lb-ft of torque for the Super Sport version which will reach 250mph. Cost: $2.25 million.
