The fastest and most powerful, and therefore the most expensive car on the planet, whose operation is allowed on all public highways, is the Bugatti Veyron. This is in honor of the legendary racer Pierre Veyron, who won the Le Mans race in the car of the same name, which took place back in 1939. The debut of the model took place in 1999 during the Tokyo Motor Show. Its visitors were shown a conceptual version of the car with a 6.3-liter engine and a capacity of 555 "horses". It should also be noted that the W-shaped motor had 18 cylinders located in three separate blocks.
Two years later, on Geneva Exhibition the company put up an almost completely redesigned modification. Under its hood, a power plant appeared, consisting of two V-shaped "eights". changed significantly and appearance novelty, which has become really similar to sports car. Mass production"Bugatti Veyron", the price of which is about 1.7 million euros, was supposed to start in 2003, but this period has been repeatedly shifted due to the need for improvements. They were associated mainly with problems that appeared when driving at a speed of about 350 km / h due to the not entirely correct functioning of the wing. Since then, the model has been improved several times. The last of the variations of the 2013 model car was called the Bugatti Super Veyron.
The car weighs almost two tons. Most of this mass is power plant, which is capable of developing a "hundred" from a standstill in just two and a half seconds. To reach the mark of 200 km / h, the car takes 7.3 seconds, and 300 km / h - 16.7 seconds. Despite such stunning abilities of the Bugatti Veyron, one cannot fail to note her ride on a relatively low speeds. To drive at 250 km / h, the car uses only 270 horsepower. The corresponding indicator is displayed on a special sensor on the dashboard, which has a scale of 1001 divisions.
interesting engineering solution for the model was the closure of the diffusers installed on This allows you to significantly reduce air resistance. It also contributes to aerodynamic spoiler. The Bugatti Veyron is not only the fastest serial car in history, but also the most dynamic. On the other hand, the car is also distinguished by its enormous fuel consumption. Its maximum value per hundred kilometers (when fully open is 125 liters. At the same time, the actual consumption in standard conditions for the urban cycle, it is declared by the manufacturer at 40.4 liters, for the mixed cycle - 24.1 liters, and for the highway - 14.7 liters.
For daily use, the car has a speed limit of 337 km/h. To allow the Bugatti Veyron to reach more high performance, you must first activate the corresponding mode using a special key. The electronic speed limiter in the car is at around 407 km / h. The model is equipped with carbon-ceramic and eight-piston calipers. This allows you to achieve a complete stop at maximum speed in just ten seconds. Moreover, the car on its own is constantly on a straight-line trajectory, even if the driver releases the steering wheel.
Speed record set by Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in 2010 still hasn't been beaten - it's still the fastest car in the world
Most fast car planet debuted at the Pebble Beach competition in August 2010, and at the end of that year was launched into mass production
The first 5 cars were exact replicas of the car, which reached the limit of 267.9 miles per hour (over 431 km/h), setting an unprecedented speed record for a production car. This mini-series was called "World Record Editions", each car was instantly sold for $ 2.4 million.
Prior to this, the record, set in 2007, belonged to the car SSC Ultimate Aero and was 256 mph (412 km/h) - the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport beat it by almost 20 km/h
The fastest car in the world was created thanks to the joint efforts of many outstanding people, among whom are the chief designer Hartmut Warkuss and Josef Kaban, who was responsible for the appearance of the car. The name of the Bugatti Veyron series itself consists of the names of the legendary pioneer of luxury car manufacturing Ettore Bugatti and the equally famous French driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans driving a Bugatti
Initially, since its founding in 1909, Bugatti was a brand of cars designed for a very narrow circle of wealthy people who were able to afford the purchase of such a luxurious vehicle. Ettore Bugatti's cars became even more popular after winning the first ever Monaco Grand Prix.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is equipped with an 8-liter 16-cylinder W-motor with four twin turbines and a displacement of 487.8 cubic inches. Each cylinder has four valves, which means that the Veyron SS engine has a total of 64 valves. An interesting feature the engine is also its aforementioned W-shape - in fact, these are two V-shaped "eights" combined into a single heavy-duty W16 unit, producing a total of 1200 horsepower, which is almost 200 hp. more than its predecessor - the previous generation Bugatti Veyron, whose power was 1001 horsepower
The fastest car in the world is driven by a 7-speed automatic transmission gears from double clutch, which, of course, also implies the possibility of semi-automatic control of switching from one gear to another by means of paddle shifters. Replacing such a box in the event of a non-warranty breakdown will cost the owner $ 172,000
Another feature of the Bugatti SS is the equipment engine compartment ten (!) radiators, allowing you to maintain normal temperature under any load. Separate fans "honored" compartments with engine oil, differential oil, transmission oil, as well as the system alternating current, at the same time there are three radiators for each engine and intercoolers (intercoolers)
Michelin specialists have developed special tires that can keep this monster on the road and provide the driver with unprecedented handling at ultra-high speeds. Replacing a worn set of tires will cost $36,000
Brake system was created by SGL Carbon and is based on the use of composite brake discs made of carbon fiber reinforced with silicon carbide. This type of brake is the best suited for such a car and allows the car to respond adequately and in a timely manner to the driver pressing the brake pedal.
As for overclocking, here it is enough just to give the numbers - and everything will immediately become clear. From zero to hundreds, the fastest car in the world “shoots” in just 2.4 seconds, in 10 seconds the car accelerates to 240 km / h, after another 5 seconds it picks up 300 km / h, and up to 400 km / h the speedometer needle arrives in total in less than a minute from the start! Such acceleration is even impossible to imagine, let alone the sensations and overloads experienced by the happy owner of the Bugatti Veyron SS, sitting behind the wheel…
In order to obtain sufficient controllability in overspeed mode, the driver must turn special key, after which the car "dives" down, reducing the clearance to 6.6 cm, both spoilers are hidden in the trunk lid, and the front air diffusers are closed. All this as a whole significantly increases the aerodynamics of the car, which allows you to gain tremendous speed without losing the proper level of controllability.
The body of the supercar, as you might guess, is a one-piece aerodynamically ideal structure made of reinforced carbon fiber, which provides sufficient body rigidity for unprecedented overloads and at the same time an amazingly low weight - in comparison with its predecessor Veyron SS "threw" 110 kilos and now weighs only 2035 kg. The sleek, sporty silhouette of the Bugatti is interrupted by only two NASA air intakes at the rear of the roof, responsible for delivering additional air currents to the engine
Company emblem Bugatti remained unchanged, otherwise appearance the machine has undergone some functional and aesthetic changes - the front air intakes have been expanded to increase air flow to the engine, wheel arches were also slightly modified and now look more elegant, while the rear of the car received more sporty look, mainly due to large symmetrical air intakes, effectively emphasized centralized system exhaust
The interior of the fastest car in the world can be described in two words - simplicity and sophistication. Inside the Bugatti, there have never been unnecessary "bells and whistles" and flashy luxury - everything is done simply and very high quality, dashboard provides the driver with all the necessary information and is not replete with completely unnecessary details, driving and passenger seats provide sufficient freedom and are protected from accidents with the latest technology. In addition, upon purchase, you can choose your own type of seat upholstery and even monogram your initials on them. In general, inside the Veyron SS is more like the cockpit of an aircraft than a car, albeit so powerful. And, of course, the Bugatti emblem - stylized letters EB - recalls the origin of the car from many of the interior and exterior surfaces of the Veyron SS

We also invite you to get acquainted with another, slightly more "calm" Bugatti model of 2010 - a four-door, recognized as the most beautiful and luxury car ever created by the company
Hypercar Bugatti Veyron eleven years ago set several records at once among cars designed for driving on the roads common use. And the main goal of the creators of the new coupe under the name Chiron was to update all the records of its predecessor. And they succeeded!
It is impossible to consider Chiron as a completely new model - Veyron was taken as the basis, although almost all nodes and elements have undergone modernization. For example, the unique eight-liter W16 engine is completely redesigned - it has more efficient turbochargers (there are four of them, as before), new system intake, lightweight crankshaft, and many parts are made of titanium and carbon fiber. As a result, the return increased from 1200 hp. and 1500 Nm for the previous Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse up to 1500 hp. and 1600 Nm.
Transmission with seven-speed preselective "robot" and permanent all-wheel drive has not changed fundamentally, although the clutches have become larger and more enduring. Suspension - with electronically controlled shock absorbers. The coupe, as before, is based on a carbon fiber monocoque, but its structure has been changed, and in terms of torsional rigidity it is comparable to racing prototypes of the LMP1 class: 50 thousand Nm / deg! But if the base Veyron in running order weighed 1888 kg, then Chiron got fat up to 1995 kg.
This is partly why the acceleration time to 100 km / h remained the same - 2.5 s, although when it comes to such small values, no less important role plays the coefficient of adhesion of tires to the road. But the Chiron takes the threshold of 200 km / h in 6.5 seconds - 0.8 seconds faster than the Veyron. And acceleration to 300 km / h takes 13.6 s instead of 16.7 s. Max speed- 420 km / h, then the Veyron reached 407 km / h, and the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse - 410 km / h. Moreover, to set the "maximum speed", as before, you need to activate a special key with a separate key. speed mode, in which the hydrosupports of the springs will reduce the clearance to a minimum, the aerodynamic valves will open in front bumper, and the rear wing will rise almost horizontally. Without this key, you can dial "only" 380 km / h.
But no less important fact: Russian designer Alexander Selipanov worked on the look of the new Bugatti. The coupe still has the family's horseshoe-shaped radiator grille and dashing arcs on the sidewalls. In the cabin - a minimum of keys and two screens in the instrument cluster, and the speedometer is marked up to 500 km / h - just in case.
Production of hypercars Bugatti Chiron will start in September. The price is also a record one: if Veyron initially cost 1.1 million euros, and latest version Grand Sport Vitesse - almost two million, then for new model will ask for at least 2.4 million! Veyron was produced in the amount of 450 copies, but latest machines found buyers with difficulty, and then only due to the fact that they were presented as limited special equipment. The circulation of the new model is 500 copies, and a third of them have already been prepaid.
a week ago car brand Bugatti and its Veyron Super Sport have lost their status as the fastest production car in the world. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport lost this status after the company, with the help of its own, which managed to accelerate to 430.98 km / h, declared that their car is the fastest in the world.
In their opinion, the Veyron Super Sport car has undergone refinement, which led to the setting of a speed record. So in this car, while fixing the world speed record, changes were made to the factory electronic speed limiter, which allowed the supercar to set a world record.
As a result, the speed record stock car Veyron cancelled. But it didn't end there. The automaker Bugatti has filed an appeal against the decision to cancel the speed record, citing arguments and evidence that the speed record set is fair.
As a result of reviewing the materials provided by Bugatti, the title of the Veyron Super Sport as the fastest car on the planet was restored, due to the fact that as a result of research it turned out that making changes to the car's maximum speed limiter does not affect and does not change fundamental design of the car and engine. This means only one thing, the Veyron Super Sport is the fastest car in the world, among production cars, not subject to any modifications and tuning.
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the fastest car in the world.
The question of what is the fastest car in the world at the moment has been worrying us since childhood. And not just boys. Many girls are also very partial to sports cars and not averse to chasing guys in computer races or with the help of toy radio-controlled cars. But toy cars are one thing, and real, super-powerful sports cars are another thing, the sound of one engine of which stops a person passing by and makes his heart beat faster just by looking at the “predatory” body. Today we are visiting ten of the fastest cars in the world. We meet!

---
On this list 10 fastest cars the world ends. Every year the list is updated, some new models are released, old ones are modernized. Also very interesting and competitions related to the definition of the best. Often, the acceleration time of a car is compared even with the acceleration time of an airplane. Trials have no limits. This attracts the masses, because the question of which car is the fastest in the world will remain open for a long time.
