2003 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 for sale

Overview of this 2003 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 for sale

Everything had to be redeveloped in order to achieve the performance data and then implement them in the vehicle. The Veyron is the first and only super sports car that was developed and built in such a way that it can master any driving situation at any time in the series configuration. The heart and soul of the Veyron is the 8.0 liter W16 engine, which, with four turbochargers, produces a whopping 1,001 hp. The 16-cylinder mid-engine is 710 mm long and no larger than a conventional V12 unit and, thanks to its lightweight construction, weighs only 490 kg. It can do something that motors in racing, for example, are not capable of. It owes its compact dimensions to the unique arrangement of its cylinder banks in a W configuration. Twelve VR8 blocks, each with 15 degree bank angle, are assembled in a crankcase to form an engine. Both 8-cylinders are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other and are ventilated by a total of four exhaust gas turbochargers. For a high-performance machine like the Veyron, it is essential that the engine is always supplied with a constant fuel pressure. A new development was also needed for this: Bugattl invented three-phase injection pumps which, unlike conventional plus-minus pumps, are able to supply the engine with the required amounts of fuel - and all this with constant pressure. Bugatti made use of racing here, but had to convert the usual racing tank, which is not permitted for road vehicles, so that it could be approved. To do this, they spoke to aerospace engineers and the result was a tank coated with Teflon on the outside, with which it is possible to control the fuel pumps in any driving situation up to a residual capacity of three liters and up to the maximum lateral acceleration of the Veyron of 1.4 g to be constantly supplied with fuel. For this purpose, ingenious airflows were devised that lead sufficient air to the ten radiators of the vehicle and can dissipate the hot air without compromising the vehicle design - and that was an important requirement. Due to the nature of the system, an additional 2,400 HP of thermal energy are generated for 1,001 HP of drive power during combustion. The larger one with 40 liters of cooling water supplies a total of three radiators in the front of the car to keep the engine at operating temperature. This system cools the charge air and helps, for example, that the engine does not get hot in a traffic jam - a common problem with high-performance sports cars. This means that the Veyron does not have to be placed on other tires to drive at top speed. This required extensive tests on a test bench for aircraft gas turbines in order to be able to reproduce the high speeds of the Veyron wheels. In order to effectively control the enormous forces and bring the vehicle to a safe and quick stop, Bugatti has developed a high-performance braking system, the numerous components of which were unique in the world. Experiencing the braking system in action is just as much fun as accelerating the Bugatti, because in combination with the Airbrake, an aerodynamic braking function of the rear wing, which results in deceleration values. For the first time, Bugatti chose carbon-ceramic as the preferred material for the brake discs in order to achieve maximum deceleration performance and safely withstand temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees on the disc surface. In addition, titanium was used for the brake disc chamber instead of the otherwise common stainless steel. As a result, the Veyron had by far the strongest braking performance in the automotive industry and in motorsport at the time with this brake.
