What if... the worlds best innovators were give an unrestricted budget and told to build their dream car? What if they then got rid of the roof and made the car a convertible? The answer : the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport.
This $2 million car is one of the most technologically advanced cars ever made. The Veyron is packed with two 8-litre V8 engines forming one huge W16 engine featuring 4 turbochargers. This produces a mythical 1,001 horsepower. The technology is used to tame those 1,001 horses. But it's gadgets aren't flash, instead they come into action, quietly, when needed. Aesthetically its a thing of beauty. The computers and gadgets are hidden from obvious view. We couldn't have the leather dash being disfigured in a seven figure car. In this case, the rear-view mirror houses the display screen. The driver enters the navigation destination using the touch-screen interface on an Hewlett-Packard iPaq HX2000 PDA running Bugatti's own custom software. The iPaq gives u more information than you will ever need. This computer does everything from hooking up your phone using bluetooth to telling you the pressure and temperature of each tire.
It also takes care of you at those high speeds that the car is capable of (254mph). Past 100mph the windows automatically raise, the car lowers to just 3.15 inches off the ground and the spoiler raises to force the car onto the road. But if you want to max the car out you have to insert a special top speed key into an ignition-type lock. This lowers the car to 2.5 inches and lowers the spoiler to 2 degrees to reduce drag. With enough space and courage you can try bring it to 254mph. At this speed, the touch of the brake pedal deploys the spoiler like an aircraft-like air brake. this alone has the stopping power of a Ford Mondeo. The carbon-ceramic brakes do the rest, these can bring the car to halt faster than it accelerates - quite an achievement.
Despite the state of the art technology in the car, it is by no way neutered.
From wat i actually understood from all that it sounds pretty amazin!!
