For many years the Mclaren F1 was the swiftest road car in the planet, but changes have been a foot over the last few years. The most recent to test this number one spot is the Bugatti Veyron. Made by Volkswagen this is probably going to be the best driving experience from a road automobile you’ll get in your lifetime.

Ferdinand Piech the boss of VW came up with the idea of manufacturing an automobile with one thousand hp that might do over 200mph, for those where cash was no object. The ridiculous ticket of £700,000 or approx $1,100,000, is only compounded by the fact it costs considerably more to make. Yes VW, will be loosing millions of dollars to sell this car, which explains why the opinion is, that no other manufacturer would build a road vehicle you might buy, that would match this performance and style.

Lets look at a few figures then;

1001, Horsepower!
14 radiators, Yes 14!!
$3,200 to make an indicator stalk!
Tyres specifically developed by Michelin, $1800 each!
922lb of torque!

229 miles per hour or 370kph (believe it or not the standard configuration is limited )

But tweak the engine and you can get;

253mph, which is 407.5mph

Ten seconds to stop from 250mph!
100ltr fuel tank that can be emptied at top speeds inside twelve minutes!

This is a major feat in engineering, particularly from a turn out that does not have a background in Formula One like Mclaren and Ferrari and it makes you wonder what they could achieve if they were to enter that field.

The car also looks stunning. Without the badge, you would not be ready to say if it was Italian or German, but you would know it couldn’t be anything else but these 2. At certain angles it looks like a teardrop, with only its open grill that looks like a goldfish’s open mouth to damage that line. I fact if I had anything bad to claim about the car it would be that I’m not sure about this front griddle. There are some that would say front grill gives it a “growl”, maybe so. But to me the growl is too respectful, it either should not be there, and had kept more of its lines or it should have been a “roar”; after all this is the fastest road automobile in the world.

The aerofoil at the rear, keeps this monster on the road, and automatically raises itself at certain high speeds, a bit of a give away if you are speeding down a motorway and the cop following you knows you are breaking the speed limit for no other reason than your aerofoil is up. However the good reports is there is no police car on earth going to catch you, the bad news is it would not be hard to find the owner. First, there isn’t going to be many of these is any area and 2nd even your Grandma would turn her head to see one of these beauties driving down the road.
This auto promises to be one of the most discussed motorcar for a very long time to come. And if you cannot afford the to buy best driving experience of a lifetime, you can at least dream.
