The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h (407 km/h or 253 mph). It reached full production in September 2005. The car is built by Volkswagen AG subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS and is sold under the legendary Bugatti marque.

It is named after racing driver Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939 while racing for the original Bugatti firm. The Veyron features a W16 engine—16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders.

According to Volkswagen, the final production Veyron engine produces between 1020 and 1040 metric hp (1006 to 1026 SAE net hp), so the car will be advertised as producing “1001 horsepower” in both the US and European markets. This easily makes it the most powerful production road-car engine in history.

Bugatti has presented the Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang at the Frankfurt Motor Show which will be released as a very limited edition of just 5 copies for 1.4 million Euro each.

The Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang covers no paint and is made out of aluminium and carbon.Pur Sang means ‘Pure blood’ in French and the chromed Veyron is differentiated by its paintjob, or rather, lack thereof.

The body panels were assuredly polished but left in their natural state of aluminum and carbon fiber, the separation between which does not follow along the lines of the traditional Veyron’s two-tone color scheme.

As you’d expect, Bugatti hasn’t just hacked the roof off the Veyron and gone to the pub. The windshield is slightly higher, the daytime running lights have been tweaked and then there’s the showpiece: a removable, transparent polycarbonate roof, which blends the A-pillars into two painted carbon fiber strips that lead into the massive air intakes feeding the 1001 hp, quad-turbocharged, W16.

If you stow the roof at home for the world’s fastest open-air, four-wheeled experience and the heavens decide to open, a folding roof stored in the luggage compartment can be – according to Bugatti – “opened like an umbrella.” With the soft-top in place, speeds are limited to an incredibly low 130 km/h (81 mph), otherwise, the Grand Sport can hit 252 mph with the polycarbonate roof and 224 mph with the top removed.

Only 150 examples will be made available, with the first 50 going to registered Bugatti customers. The first model will be auctioned off at the Gooding & Company auction tomorrow night, with all the profits over the 1.4 million euro ($2.05 million) sticker going to charity

Bugatti has been creating some revised Special Editions for those who has some deeper pockets, like Bugatti Veyron fbg par Hermes and the wild Veyron Pur Sang. Now they unveiled “the Sang Noir”, which means directly to “Black Blood”. It looks cool by the way! Always been a pleasure to look at, to drive on!

The Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir pays homage to the Bugatti Atlantique 57S of yesteryear and is finished in an exclusive all-black livery and unpainted carbon fibre panels with blacked-out headlight assembly, exclusive alloy wheels with five double and single spoke design and a tanned leather interior that is very orange.

Price for this new limited edition model has not been announced (nor has the number being produced) but it won’t be short of buyers, that’s for sure.

Bugatti Veyron Description:

In this article, we will take an in-depth look at this amazing automobile and see how it is possible to fit so much performance into a single machine. It all starts with the engine…

The Bugatti Veyron is a car built around an engine. Essentially, Bugatti made the decision to blow the doors off the supercar world by creating a 1,000-horsepower engine. Everything else follows from that resolution.

We need a 16-liter engine to burn 1.33 gallons of gas per minute. That actually makes sense — the engine in the Dodge Viper is 8.0 liters in displacement and produces 500 hp.

But there’s a problem: A 16-liter V-8 engine would be very large. And the pistons would be massive, so there would be no way it could turn at 6,000 rotations per minute (rpm). It might turn at a maximum of 2,000 rpm, meaning that you would need an immense 48-liter engine to generate 1,000 hp. Clearly an engine that big is impossible in a passenger car.
