The fastest version of the Bugatti Veyron,the Super Sport, already
holds the land speed record for a production car with its top speed of
268 mph, but Bugatti looks set to smash its own record with a new model
built to commemorate the end of the Veyron’s production.
It’s hard to believe that the Veyron has been around since 2005, but a
secessor is planed , which means production of the current model must
come to an end.
We’ve already
brought you details about the last version of the Veyron, which we
previously reported would deliver 1,600 horsepower in a package that’s
550 pounds lighter than the current lightest Veyron. That model is the
Veyron Super Sport, which tips the scales at almost 4,200 pounds, which
means the new model may achieve the holy 1 horsepower per kilo (2.2
pounds) of weight.
According to the latest information from CAR, the last version of the
Veyron, which has already been nicknamed the “Super Veyron,” will have a
top speed of 288 mph, 20 mph faster than the current world record.
Equally stunning will be the car’s acceleration figures, which is said
to include a 0-60 mph time of just 1.8 seconds
.
