The Bugatti company history is exceptionally well known and respected since its inception in 1909, known for their design, engineering and beauty as well as numerous race victories. Up until the death of company founder, Ettore Bugatti in 1947, approx. 8,000 cars were produced. An effort to revive the company was undertaken in the 1980's with the unveiling and ultimate manufacture of the EB 110 supercar. It was not until 1998 when the Volkswagen Group purchased the rights to the company which would further realize Ferdinand Piëch's vision to create a 16-cylinder automobile of superlative power, performance, and prestige.
Piëch's mandates for the car that would eventually become the Bugatti Veyron were refined with time, become even more ambitious: It needed to produce 1,001 PS (987 horsepower) and achieve a top speed in excess of 400 km/h (nearly 250 mph), yet also be entirely usable for daily driving and comfortable for both driver and passenger. Impressive today, these parameters seemed otherworldly around the turn of the millennium. The cost of the project was of little consequence; what mattered was resurrecting Bugatti in spectacular fashion while demonstrating the engineering prowess of the Volkswagen Group as a whole.
Remarkably, the production car that emerged in 2005 managed to meet, and even exceed, these lofty expectations, with 0-62 mph acceleration taking just 2.46 seconds en route to a top speed just over 408 km/h (nearly 254 mph). Built around a magnificent, mid-mounted, quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 featuring four valves per cylinder and mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Veyron stunned the world with its surefootedness at even the most extreme speeds with the help of its full-time Haldex all-wheel drive system. Even the car's ancillary systems, including 10 radiators, are marvels of automotive engineering conceived to perform under the most demanding circumstances.
Braking was equally stunning given the Veyron's massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes with 15.7-inch discs and eight-piston, four-pad calipers up front, while 15-inch discs with six-piston, two-pad calipers were equipped at the rear. The alloy wheels, which were respectively 20 and 21 inches at the front and rear, were shod with special purpose-designed Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 PAX run-flat tires that provided superior grip.
Equally captivating is the intricacy of the Veyron's hand-crafted construction and the impact of its design. In its scale and proportions, the Veyron is unlike anything else. It is actually shorter in overall length than a modern Porsche 911, though it rides on a longer, 106.7-inch wheelbase, and it is noticeably lower and wider than that benchmark German sportscar.
Three driving modes are offered: Normal mode, at which the ride height was 4.9 inches. Handling mode that deployed the rear spoiler and lowered ride height to 3.15 inches and a special key-activated High-Speed mode that dropped ride height to 2.56 inches in front and 2.75 at the rear, while changing the spoiler position.
With just 3,000 miles from new, this Veyron is offered from its collection ownership. It is complete with its full ownership and service histories. It has always been cared for regardless of cost and has been housed in a climate-controlled environment. Thus, this Veyron presents in exceptional and as close to new condition today.
This is a rare opportunity to own a supercar worthy of Bugatti legacy and the world-renowned horseshoe grille, an automobile manufactured in low production numbers with an unparalleled forward thrust given its horsepower, a motorcar that ensure its exclusivity within the history of the automobile.
