Working on Cars all day and every day tends to turn you off Cars a bit but I must say if I had a spare million or 2 I would maybe give one a blast.

The red one here is the Veyron.

Very few parts, components or systems from existing vehicle concepts could be used in the Veyron. Everything had to be developed from scratch to achieve the required performance before being incorporated into the vehicle. When creating the Veyron, designers regularly drew inspiration from other industries which required extreme speeds and demanded extreme stress loads from materials and systems.

Engine

  • The heart and soul of the Veyron is the 8-litre W16 engine with four turbochargers, which initially generated 1,001 PS, and an incredible 1,200 PS in later models. The engine is fully capable of operating under a continuous full load, a feat that engines designed for use in motor racing cannot achieve.

Gearbox

  • The Veyron is equipped with the dual-clutch gearbox (DSG), which is the fastest gearbox in the world. Bugatti was the first manufacturer to use a seven-speed variant of the DSG. Designed specially for the new sports car, this gearbox has a job which any other gearbox would baulk at, i.e. to transfer engine torque of up to 1,500 Nm to the road surface.

A fair bit of kit that's for sure.
