Bugatti Veyron

The Bugatti Veyron is the most expensive and most powerful car out there today. These cars cost about a million dollars each and there are currently only about five hundred made so far. They can also travel at a maximum speed of 250 mph, which beats the previous record by at least 15 miles. These are some reasons why the Bugatti Veyron is my favorite car and why I want to buy one sometime in the future.

They Bugatti Veyron is also uniquely designed, as it has an engine called W-16 that is specifically designed only for this car. The engine is huge, about the size of a small plane engine and it is placed into the back of the car. There are four turbochargers placed on the engine and it produces a total of 1001 horsepower. When the car goes over 200 miles per hour, special aerodynamics in the car make it easier for the driver to control it. When the car reaches 230 mph, it consumes 10,000 gallons of air per minute; that's about how much an average person inhales every four days. The Bugatti Veyron is the world's second supercar, after the Cizeta Moroder V16T. Both cars were produced in Italy.
