Since its launch in 2005, the BUGATTI Veyron has been regarded as a Supercar of superlative quality. It was a real challenge for developers to fulfill the specifications that the new supercar was supposed to meet: over 1,000 hp, a top speed of over 400 km/h and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 in under three seconds. Even experts thought it was impossible to achieve these performance specs on the road. But that was not all.
Benchmark
Bugatti set the benchmark even higher with the plan of turning the supercar into a luxury road car suitable for everyday use.
Development
The development of the Veyron was one of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry.
From scratch
Barely any parts, components or systems could be taken from existing car concepts and used in the Veyron. Everything had to be developed from scratch in order to achieve the performance specs and then everything had to be implemented in the car.
Extreme speeds and forces
The process also drew on the experiences of other industries in which materials and systems are routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces, such as aviation and space travel.
Master any driving scenario at any time
The Veyron is the first–and the only–supercar to be developed and constructed with a series configuration that can master any driving scenario at any time.
Still setting benchmarks
Even more than 15 years after its launch, the supercar is still setting benchmarks and inspiring emotion and enthusiasm across the globe.
