The Western media are actively discussing the possibility of joining forces, Bentley and Bugatti to jointly develop new cars. It is assumed that Bentley Bugatti help in designing sports cars with powerful engines, but Bentley would give her a platform to brand Bugatti began production of a 4-door sports sedan.

For the most part is nothing surprising in such an alliance is not. After all, Bentley and Bugatti belong to the same owner - the concern Volkswagen. Therefore, it would be natural that these manufacturers have started to work together. After all, it will not only help reduce the time to create new models, but also allow significant savings. Do not forget that the leadership task is to make a Volkswagen Bugatti brand profitable. Indeed, until the company that produces only one model of the Veyron worth 1.6 million euros, brings nothing but losses. To remedy this situation we need a new Bugatti over a mass product.

According to unconfirmed reports, the power of the new model will exceed 1,200 bhp and a top speed close to the mark of 500 km / h.

As Bugatti has long planned to make an open version of the luxury coupe, but a classic convertible with a folding roof structurally impossible - 8,0-liter 987-horsepower turbo four-W16 occupies all the space behind the two seats, leaving no space for laying the top. Targa version - with fixed rear roll bar and removable roof panels - was recognized as the best compromise.

It is expected that the Bugatti Veyron Targa will be released in a limited series in the number of 75-80 copies. Its cost will be about 2.25 million dollars

Earlier, the representative of the Bugatti Julius Kruta (Julius Kruta) stated that the new supercar will be more expensive than Veyron (in Europe, this model is sold for 1,2 million euros, and Russia - for 1.6 million).

Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599 race staged on the highway

Bad head is haunted not only feet, but the wheels: It's hard to find a cause for frenzy, which staged one of the UK motorway Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599 GTB.

According to British tabloid The Sun, numerous witnesses were able to observe how the two supercars recklessly raced down the road from the M27 at a speed exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, ignoring traffic signs and writing down the sinusoids in all three lanes.

Traffic police had to squeeze everything from a modest BMW 5-series to catch up frolicking "Speed ​​Racer." However, while law enforcement officers versed with the driver of black Veyron with French numbers, Ferrari without license plates managed to escape. Caught in the driver escaped with a modest penalty - three penalty points in their rights and a fine of £ 60.

Bugatti Veyron will lift the roof off

The company decided to expand the Bugatti Veyron model lineup and prepares for his open-source version. The car will receive a body with a removable targa, a central part of the roof and will cost 1.9 million dollars, according to Edmunds.com.

This roof for the supercar will be developed by German company Webasto, which has also created a folding top coupe-cabriolet Volkswagen Eos. In this case, due to lack of space in the Bugatti Veyron will have to put her in the trunk. And in case of rain the designers have provided a small protective curtain of dense tissue.

Maximum speed supercar open, unlike the coupe will be limited at around 350 km / h. Despite this, such an indicator can be the Veyron the world's fastest car with removable roof.

Bugatti Veyron recognized as the fastest on the planet

British magazine Autocar had a very interesting comparison of the fastest vehicles in the world.

How much more quickly, accelerate the 987-horsepower Veyron? Publication experts managed to gather in one place a great many series of sports cars and motorcycles, which were to perform a simple exercise - acceleration from a standstill to 100 miles per hour (160 kph) and stopped. In this case, testers of the car told me that the feeling of acceleration is very similar to taking off on a fighter jet F-16.

As a result, the winner declared Bugatti Veyron. Behind the wheel of a supercar driver can accelerate to 160 km / h and then stay for just 9.9 seconds. For comparison, sport bike Suzuki GSXR-1000, which is considered one of the fastest two-wheeled vehicles in the world, took second place! Porsche 911 Turbo for acceleration of 0-100 miles per hour and deceleration required 12.5 seconds., Lamborghini Gallardo - 13.65 sec., BMW M5 - 15.20 sec. And the Ford Focus ST long 21.35 seconds.

Experts noted the fact that from zero to 100 km / h this car accelerates in just 2.8 seconds. And up to 160 km / h in 5.5 seconds. It's easy fast, and insanely fast. So, perhaps, Bugatti Veyron worth the $ 1.3 million, which for him are asking for.

New products will be four-wheel drive vehicle with a front engine. The car will receive robotic seven-gear dual-clutch DSG. Maximum speed of the model has not been revealed, but we know that unlike coupe, the sedan will limit its electronics.

Their appearance four-Bugatti will look like sedans Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide, which will appear in the coming years. However, to call these models can not be competitors of the new Bugatti: The last will be much more expensive - its price is one million dollars.

Is Bugatti requires suspension tuning?

Bugatti 16.4 Veyron probably the top sports cars - the revival of past legends. The product, initially involving the exceptional quality, Veyron - the fruit of serious work of designers and engineers have implemented in your child a variety of innovative solutions. At the same time being a product of technology and art, Bugatti 16.4 Veyron to be as complex and unique in design as it is in construction. When 16-cylinder engine s1001 hp and a torque of 1250 Nm, maximum speed, which breaks through the barrier at 400 km / h, it is clear that the vehicle needs a full control and reliability management.

Developers Bugatti naturally more than usually pay attention to the suspension of the car, its ability to use the phenomenal performance and engine power. Volkswagen Group in the development of a supercar Veyron, understanding the importance of every detail of the suspension, which was originally proposed to develop designers Eibach springs, which are the heart of the suspension system - parts of which connects the main body of the car and unsprung mass. Because the engineers used all available technology to reduce unsprung weight of wheels and brakes, it was natural that the designers chose the material for the Eibach suspension springs titanium-based alloys. New vysokorastyazhimy titanium alloy reduces unsprung masses by approximately 30% compared with the steel equivalent.

Another feature in designing the spring is its shape. To give the necessary properties of the spring, it appeared that the springs must have the form of a tulip, including due to the geometrical configuration of seats.

Eibach for participation in this project is still very prestigious - the company confirms its capacity as a manufacturer of suspension at the highest technical level.

In this company with a 55-year history, ultramodern factories work in unison with some specialized industries, where labor is used most qualified employees. Eibach is present on all five continents, where the annual equips its suspension of approximately 3000 vehicles. Bugatti 16.4 Veyron is in the list of cars Eibach definitely the top spot.
