HISTORY

The CarThe Bugatti Veyron is a car of superlatives. It’s the world’s fastest roadworthy production car and the world’s most expensive. It has the fastest acceleration of any production car and you have to be seriously rich to own one and afford to keep it. 

 
Seen in three variants to date; the Veyron, the Veyron Grand Sport and the Veyron Super Sport, it will soon be joined by the SuperVeyron. Enthusiasts track the car down as one would a rare creature, hoping to photograph it, get close to it or even touch it, never daring to dream about ever driving it. The last two incarnations could be custom liveried and their distinctive designs make them easily identifiable with their owners.  

The Story 

Just over a hundred years ago Ettore Bugatti began producing what were deemed to be some of the most beautiful cars ever made. They were beautiful because their designer was an artist who made cars rather than a car manufacturer that loved art. 
 

 

Ettore Bugatti 

  
For nearly forty years, the marque reigned supreme over the world of sports cars, successful in many races because the cars balanced weight with power producing great speed and manoeuvrability. The name became synonymous with elegance, speed and success until on the 11th August 1939, disaster struck the Bugatti family when the only son, Jean Bugatti was killed whilst testing a Type 57 Tank racer which had recently won the Le Mans 24 Hour race. With his death died the hope of a future for the company when Jean’s father and founder of the company eventually died. This event was not to happen for another eight years but the toll of the Second World War which destroyed the original factory and post war economic troubles, combined with the death of Ettore led to a slow decline in the company’s fortunes before it ceased to exist in 1952. 
 
Sporadic attempts to revive the Bugatti name failed due to poor design and a weak financial plan and the name Bugatti lived on only in aircraft parts for the next four decades. 
 
In the 1980s, another revival was attempted but by the time the design of the new model, the EB110 was ready for production, economic recession had hit and the company folded once more. 
 

 

Bugatti EB110 

  
This time it was not to be long before the phoenix rose from the ashes and Volkswagen bought the Bugatti name and began designing concept cars that made their debut at motor shows in 1998 and 1999. Six years later, the hype and the technology were finally melded together to form the granddaddy of the supercar we know today, The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.

CAR DETAILS

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a faster, more powerful version of the Bugatti Veyron. Production was limited to 30 units. The Super Sport is most impressive for its technical aspects. Some highlights of its power are that it has an engine power of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp), a torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lbf·ft), and a revised aerodynamic package which makes it go even faster than a normal Veyron.  

The Super Sport has a 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) top speed, making it the fastest production road car on the market although it is electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tires from disintegrating. 

The vehicle was unveiled in 2010 at The Quail, followed by the 2010 Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca, and the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. 

The Super Sport is valued at GB £1.2 million, which is around 1.38 million euros.
