it was the star of the tokyo motor show nearly six years ago, and finally, the bugatti veyron has made it into production.
the company's president says the spectacular two-door coupe's drivetrain also will be used in a four-door bugatti model in the future.
the veyron's 16-cylinder engine develops a shade over 1,000 horsepower, giving it a 0-60 time of fewer than 3 seconds and a 252-mph top speed. those staggering stats make the veyron the world's fastest production car. it's also the most expensive — it'll set you back about $1.3 million.
the veyron is the first fruit of volkswagen's takeover of the bugatti business, which collapsed in the early 1990s after a brief renaissance with the eb110 supercar. vw has spent an estimated $300 million reviving bugatti.
according to bugatti president thomas bscher, the company has firm orders for 30 cars at the moment, with some customers having ordered two — one to drive and one to keep as a work of art.
bscher said the company is planning a second model, though not a smaller sports car, as previously predicted.
"we have such a great engine and drivetrain, we better use it again in another large model," he said. "i see it as a four-seat car with front engine and its own unique chassis."
