22 Reasons Why should Buy the Bugatti Veyron Million Dollar Car

1. It’s $1.7 million dollars

2. Because it looks like the Batmobile.

3. To change the 4 tires, which are special made and to-order by Michelin, costs $47,000. Oh, another important note on tires: the only company that is certified by VW to remove and put tires on the rims charges a cool $71,000 dollars for the service.

4. The car needs 10 radiators to keep engine temperatures in control, even though the engine is exposed to the elements.

  • 4 radiators for the engine cooling system.

  • 1 radiator for the air to liquid intercoolers.

  • 2 for the air conditioning system.

  • 1 transmission oil radiator.

  • 1 differential oil radiator.

  • 1 engine oil radiator.

5. It costs VW nearly $5 million dollars to make one Veyron, but they sell it for substianlly less than that. When the project manager was asked why in the world a car company would do that he answered, “we realize it’s a loss, but we get to say we created the fastest, most expensive and powerful production car in the world.”

6. The car’s top speed is 256 miles per hour. To give you some context, that would have you cover the Minnesota Viking’s football field in .7 tenths of a second.

7. They are only making 220 of them, which means you-be-a-cool-cat.

8. If you have a mechanical failure, you can push a button in the car and a GPS beacon is activated, and a special VW/Bugatti mechanic is flown to your location to assist you/the towing company in removing your car from the side of the road.

9. To give you some context of how much power 1001 horsepower is: The most powerful car in the world for nearly 15 years was the McLaren F1 GTR. If you lined up the GTR against the Veyron, and let the GTR take off until it hit 125mph before theVeyron started, the Veyron would still beat it to 200mph.

10. To get the car to it’s top speed you have to pull over, put the car in park, and insert a key into a slot that lowers the rear wing and lowers the entire car closer to the ground, creating more aerodynamic downforce.

11. The car has a 8.1 liter W16 engine. That’s 2 V8′s put together.

12. It’s all-wheel drive, an excellent selling point for Midwest owners of the supercar.

13. It will do 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds.

14. It will do 0-100 mph in 5.7 seconds. Some added context: That’s faster than any Ferrari or Lamborghini can get to 60mph by your standard joe-the-plumber high performance sports car owner.

15. You can create 3.1 G of deceleration when slamming on the brakes from 200mph. That’s just 3G shy of what an F16 fighter pilot would hit when doing tactical takeoff’s.

16. Clothing designer Hermes upholstered 3 of them in a special edition release of the automobile. These 3 are for my people.

17. It’s top speed is 1/3 of the speed of sound.

18. At top speed, the engine will suck in as much air as you breathe in 4 days.

19. At top speed, when you slam on the brakes, the rear spoiler will also angle itself down, acting as an airbrake. The braking power the rear wing creates is equal to a small VW hatchback.

20. Oh, it has 4 turbochargers.

21. It will do 0-186 mph in 16 seconds.

22. Most car designers think it’s the most obnoxious thing in the world.
