Bugatti veyron






bugatti_cut_away_view.jpgDETROIT introduced a $1.4 million 1001 horsepower monster at this sagging economy. Leather from cattle raised in special high-altitude pastures.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport roadster is less a car than a visit to an alternative reality. The Grand Sport roadster is new for 2009, part of Bugatti’s 100th anniversary.
The 16-cylinder engine produces more power than a small tugboat. It could push a barge of rice up the Mississippi, except the Veyron would exhaust its 26.4-gallon gas tank in about seven minutes at wide-open throttle.It’s a frighteningly fast car, but as easy to drive as a Ford Taurus. It justifies its existence both by testing new technologies for the Volkswagen Group and by generating a waiting list of orders complete with deposit that have the factory fully booked for more than a year.
Bugatti has delivered 200 Veyron 16.4 coupes since production began in late 2005. The total model run is capped at 300. Bugatti has orders with deposits taken for an additional 50. It takes about a month to build a Veyron in Bugatti’s factory in Molsheim, France.
The engine is still the rather impressive 8.0lt quad-turbo W16 unit and it’s still producing only 1001hp (come on Bugatti – do something more – just kidding – just kidding!) which is of course more than enough to give the car the title of the most powerful production car ever. How much torque I hear you asking? Well that has now been revealed and it is an amazing 922lb.ft available all the way from 2200 to 5500 rpm (wow – that reminds me of the 1.8T Volkswagen/Audi engine and its impressive torque curve – I guess this is a bit more powerful though!).
bugatti_front.jpgThe gearbox has “something” to say as well: It’s a 7-speed sequential with… two clutches (haven’t heard of this before…). One clutch is used for 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th gear while the other one is used for 2nd, 4th and 6th. As one clutch is always engaged and the other is always open, the system opens the driving clutch as it closes the “new” one that will engage the next gear. The result? You don’t feel a loss of power at all despite the gear change taking 0.2 seconds to complete!
The performance figures sound – at least – scary! Accelerating to 186mph will only take 14 seconds! Top speed will reach (under certain conditions like the use of the right tyres) 252 mph (yes – that’s more than 400km/h!).
Bugatti will build 150 Grand Sports, which are nearly identical to the coupe except for a removable targa top.
The Grand Sports are reserved for Bugatti customers who are coming back for seconds.
bugatti_back.jpgOne potential buyer stopped by Bugatti of Troy, Mich., recently to take a Grand Sport out for a spin.
That anonymous high-roller was treated to four turbochargers that whistle like a taxiing Boeing 747 and creamy leather on virtually every surface. Bugatti buys leather from cattle raised in Austrian Alpine meadows, above the elevation where mosquitoes, wasps and other biting insects live.
Bug bites on cows, you see, can lead to blemishes on leather. Bugatti doesn’t do blemishes.
It does help VW move technologies from the race track and the luxury rack to the company’s mainstream brands. The Veyron’s seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is both seamlessly smooth and closely related to the racing gearboxes VW’s Audi brand used to dominate the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The stability control system may be the only one in the world that has been tested to make sure it keeps the car safe and stable at 186 miles an hour.
The Veyron accelerates to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, and its massive carbon-ceramic brakes bring it back to a standstill in just 2.3.
The top speed is 253 mph. Small problems can become fatal failures very quickly at that speed, so Bugatti’s sales contract warns owners their car will arrive with up to 310 miles on the odometer.

BMW M3


After quite a bit of speculation over the German automaker, BMW’s, upcoming enhancement for everybody’s favorite track day weapon and whether or not they would be downsizing their power train options along with the rest of the automotive market, we can now bring you some official details regarding the updated and environmentally conscious 2011 BMW M3 Performance Package. Don’t worry because the new car won’t be losing any grunt like we all expected when it goes on sale this spring with pricing to be announced at a later date.
Thankfully the BMW M3 Performance Package is powered by the same high revving 4.0 Liter V8 sending a total of 420 HP straight to the rear wheels, with only one minor difference. The power plant is now equipped with an innovative Auto Start Stop function as well as an optional M dual clutch transmission with Drivelogic as well as the standard six speed manual. The Auto Start Stop Function works like most traditional mild hybrids by killing the engine whenever the car is at a stop, this is said to reduce both consumption and emissions quite effectively.
As the name suggests, the Performance Package adds a lowered suspension that brings the chassis 10 mm closer to the asphalt and stiffens things up with a newly developed set of electronically adjustable dampers as well as an all new set of lightweight mesh alloys measuring 19 inches in diameter that dress up the new M3’s appearance along with the functional aero package.

BMW M1

BMW M1 Homage rear

BMW M1 Homage wheelThe BMW M1 Hommage blends a wide, aggressive stance with 

intentionally retro/modern twists on the key visual elements that defined Paul Bracq's original BMW Turbo concept and the Giugiaro-designed M1 homologation special that followed. It is instantly recognizable as an M1, particularly in profile, where the M1 Hommage's basic shape clearly mimics that of its forebear. BMW's stylists also incorporated similar nods the particulars of the original, such as the louvered rear window; the badge placement in back; the line extending aft from the side glass; and even the wheel design, which is an exaggerated take on the ones you'll find on the original road car. Poring over the details of the Homage is akin to going on an Easter Egg hunt. 

BMW M1 Homage lampsThe greatest departure is seen in front, where BMW has given the M1 Hommage a sinister, imposing face. Naturally, BMW's prominent double-kidney grille is front and center. Its joined by outboard intakes and a trapezoidal lower opening designed to swallow and direct air for both cooling purposes and aerodynamic effect. The car's four round headlights lurk behind thin slits in the front fascia, remaining essentially invisible until they're illuminated -- a tip of the cap to the hideaway nature of the classic M1's flip-up lamps.

There appears to be no interior, and BMW doesn't even bother mentioning specific powertrain possibilities. The M1 Hommage is strictly a design exercise meant to celebrate an icon, but it also reminds us that Munich can do the supercar thing, too. Maybe one day it will again.
