Bugatti, the fastest road car manufacturers and the most expensive in the world, reportedly is preparing Veyron-powered electric sports car, as is done with E-Tron Audi. Bugatti and Audi are both in the Volkswagen Group.
Most likely this time the car is being made, but no plans for production. Because this car is actually just to show off technologies and opportunities for engineers to explore the opportunities for production.
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport deliberately brought into the country because of the potential of the luxury car market in the country are quite promising. The number of people super-rich (High Networth Individuals / NHI) of people who have assets of at least U.S. $ 1 million or approximately USD 9.09 billion, in India is currently estimated at 1.27 million people.
Buggati Veyron 16.4 Gran Sport 8000 cc engine equipped with a powerful 1001 horsepower. Reaches its maximum torque of 1200 Newton meters. Power is channeled from the engine to the wheels with the transmission of direct-shift dual-clutch automatic with seven levels of acceleration.
Interestingly, the transition from one gear to another gear going very fast, no more than 150 milliseconds.
Armed with machine, the Bugatti Veyron is capable of racing up to 430 kpj. Acceleration from rest to a speed of 100 kpj achieved in just 2.7 seconds.
Bugatti said the restrictions were necessary to protect the tires. It reasoned. Because logic would quickly run out if the tire continues lauched at speeds above 400 km / h!
Machine is set to give power of 1200 hp and 1500 Nm of torque. Extra power comes from larger turbochargers and intercoolers, which means the chassis needs to be adjusted to cope with the addition of strength and speed.
This car uses a better stabilizer features, and new shock absorbers. Meanwhile, the aerodynamics of the car made more efficient, while the monocoque carbon from the structure of a new carbon fiber body and chassis to increase rigidity.
Prototype Bentley Continental chassis-based possibilities, using two electric motors and lithium-ion batteries. This electric motor can produce maximum torque of 2.200 Nm from 0 rpm. While the maximum power of 800hp.
Clearly, this sports car has tremendous acceleration with more than 2000Nm torque at low rpm. But this car also had a weakness: the ability cruising kapasitan-related electrical energy storage in batteries. Refill time also takes many hours. Do-do, when the car in racing up to top speed, the return must be in geret.
