Bugatti Offering Veyron Test Drives In Mumbai

Unless you have been living under your computer table, you must be well aware that one of the most advanced, yet super quick car in the world was launched in India last year. Now, with sales being quite dismal (or so I am made to believe, with not a single sightseeing), Bugatti has commenced test drives of the 400+ kmph car to prospective customers in India. Bugatti is now on an India tour wherein their official lead test pilot, Pierre Henri Raphanel will be in Mumbai to conduct test drives for the Veyron 16.4 Grandsport. This will be followed by the Veyron roaming around other parts of India. Exclusive Motors is the Indian distributor of the Bugatti Veyron and this supercar is priced at Rs. 16 crore (excluding taxes and dependent on currency fluctuations).

    Constant 250 kmph require only 270-280 of the Veyron’s horsepower. More than 700 HP are continuously on standby for quick and fast interludes. In other words, at 1000 RPM, only slightly above idling, the Veyron has 730 Nm torque available. Between 2200 and 5500 RPM, 1250 Newton meter torque are permanently accessible. No other production vehicle has ever offered comparable torques.

The Bugatti Veyron is powered by a 8000cc, W16 engine (if you can call it that) which produces 1001 PS of power and 1250 Nm of torque. The Veyron Grandsport reaches 0-100 kmph in 2.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 408 kmph (with just takes a minute to reach from standstill). But what makes this car so insanely awesome? For starters there are 4 turbochargers and ten radiators!! This includes 3 heat exchangers for the air-to-liquid intercoolers, 3 engine radiators, 1 differential oil radiator, 1 engine oil radiator, 1 for the air conditioning system and 1 transmission oil radiator. The Veyron Supersport which is not yet launched in India is even more powerful, boasting of 1200 PS of power and 1500 Nm of torque. The Veyron Supersport reaches a top speed of 431 kmph.
