Buggati Veyron in Malaysia???
Specifications and performance of Buggati Veyron
The Veyron features a W16 engine — 16 cylinders in two banks of eight cylinders, or the equivalent of two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a “W” configuration. Each cylinder has 4 valves for a total of 64, but the narrow staggered 8 configuration allows two camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only 4 camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 8.0 L (7,993 cc/488 cu in) with a square 86 mm by 86 mm (3.4 in × 3.4 in) bore and stroke.
Bugatti Veyron's 16.4 engine
The transmission consists of a dual-clutch Direct-Shift Gearbox computer-controlled manual gearbox with seven gear ratios, with magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel and a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds. This is designed and manufactured by Ricardo of England (and not Borg-Warner who designed the 6-speed DSG used in the mainstream marques of the Volkswagen Group). The Veyron can be driven as a full automatic transmission. It also features full-time four-wheel drive, utilising the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin run-flat tyres, designed specifically for the Veyron to accommodate its top speed, which reportedly cost $25,000 US per set.[11] Curb weight is 2,034.8 kg (4,486 lb).[11] This gives the car a power to weight ratio of 4.5 lb (2.0 kg)/1 bhp (0.7 kW).
The car’s wheelbase is 2710 mm (106.7 in). Overall length is 4462 mm (175.7 in), width 1998 mm (78.7 in) and height 1204 mm (47.4 in).
Buggati Veyron 2 of 10 Radiators
The Bugatti Veyron has a total of 10 radiators.
* 3 radiators for the engine cooling system.
* 1 heat exchanger for the air-to-liquid intercoolers.
* 2 for the air conditioning system.
* 1 transmission oil radiator.
* 1 differential oil radiator.
* 1 engine oil radiator.
* 1 hydraulic oil radiator for the spoiler
It has a drag coefficient of 0.41 (normal condition) and 0.36 (after lowering to the ground),[13] and a frontal area of 2.07 square metres (22.3 sq ft).[14] This gives it a CdA ft² value of 8.02.
Power
According to Volkswagen (and approved by TÜV Süddeutschland), the final production Veyron engine produces 1,001 hp (746 kW) and gives 1,250 N·m (920 ft·lbf) of torque.[15] The horsepower figure has been confirmed by Bugatti officials to actually be conservative, with the real total being 1020 or more.
Top Speed
In May 2005, a prototype Veyron tested at a Volkswagen track near Wolfsburg, Germany recorded an electronically limited top speed of 400 km/h (250 mph). In October 2006, Car and Driver magazine’s editor Csaba Csere test drove the final production version of the Veyron for the November 2006 issue. This test, at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track, reached a top speed of 407.5 km/h (253.2 mph).
The Veyron
The top speed was verified once again by James May on Top Gear, again at Volkswagen’s private test track, when the car hit 407 km/h (253 mph), which equated to nearly one-third of the speed of sound at sea level. When getting close to the top speed during the test, May said that “the tires will only last for about fifteen minutes, but it’s okay because the fuel runs out in twelve minutes.” He also gave an indication of the power requirements, at constant 300 km/h (190 mph) the Veyron is using approximately 270 to 280 horsepower (200 to 210 kW), but to get to its rated 408 km/h (254 mph) top speed required far more from the engine. Once back in the Top Gear studio James was asked by co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson what the Veyron felt like to drive at 407 km/h (253 mph), James replied that it was “totally undramatic”, and very stable at speed.
