Bugatti Veyron

Detailed history of Bugatti

Ettore Bugatti, the founder of Bugatti Automobiles, was born in Milan, Italy in 1881. His father was a painter. He is also a famous furniture designer. Ettore Bugatti studied at an art school since he was a child. He was particularly fond of driving cars and participated in racing activities since he was 17 years old. As a child, he built Bugatti T1-T5 models and participated in many competitions.

Ettore Bugatti moved with his family to NIEDERBRONN, ALSACE, France in 1902, and began to cooperate with a local automobile company in 1904 to develop and produce cars for it until 1909, *** T6-T9 and other models were designed and produced. Then Ettore Bugatti moved his wife and children to MOLSHEIM in ALSACE and established a Bugatti automobile factory. Here, the mature T13 model began to be mass-produced. To this day, MOLSHEIM is still the location of Bugatti’s headquarters. After the development of the T17 car in 1914, which featured a horseshoe-shaped radiator grille and wire-spoke wheels, this shape of the radiator grille subsequently became Bugatti's style. Since then, Bugatti cars have gradually grown and become active in major events around the world.

Later, the Great Depression of the world economy and the two world wars had a major impact on Bugatti cars. Especially during World War II, the German army occupied the Bugatti factory in France. In 1939 and 1940, Ettore Bugatti's eldest son and father passed away successively, and the Bugatti factory, which was in difficulty, was sold off. At the same time, Ettore Bugatti himself refused to succumb to the intimidation of the invaders and insisted on Italian nationality, thus being persecuted. Subsequently, a generation of famous car designers who dominated the car industry for nearly half a century also passed away in 1947. At this point, Bugatti has produced a total of one hundred models including T1-T101. After the end of World War II, the Bugatti factory still maintained bleak operations and mainly produced T101 cars until it was completely discontinued in 1956. During the 47 years from 1910 to 1956, Bugatti produced approximately 8,000 cars. The history of Bugatti has come to an end.

It was not until 1987 that Romano Artioli, a car dealer who was a financier, purchased the Bugatti brand and moved the Bugatti headquarters from MOLSHEIM to Italy. Bugatti returned to the car industry and launched the EB110 in 1991. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of founder EB.

The EB110 uses a 560-horsepower mid-mounted 12-cylinder turbocharged engine and a four-wheel drive system. Its performance was unparalleled at the time, and it became a popular choice among many performance car enthusiasts and car collectors. object. But later due to poor management, Bugatti declared bankruptcy in 1995, leaving about a dozen cars in various stages of assembly abandoned on the production line until the company's creditors decided what to do with them.

In 1998, the Bugatti brand was acquired by Volkswagen. Later, the Volkswagen brand did not improve existing models like other super sports cars to see what standards it could achieve. Instead, it set an unprecedented standard of 1,000 horsepower and a top speed of 400 kilometers, and then hired a large number of engineers to work day and night to achieve it. This standard continuously overcomes various technical difficulties. This is also where Bugatti is most different from developing other super sports cars. The final result is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which is now the most powerful car in the world.

On the other hand, Volkswagen has also begun to rebuild Bugatti's production plant in MOLSHEIM, France. Finally, the new factory was named BUGATTI ATELIER. The factory was completed in 2004 and officially opened in 2005. It now serves as the headquarters of Bugatti.

Bugatti has been producing sports cars, station wagons and limousines for nearly 47 years and is still considered by many to be the most remarkable automobile of its era. Ettore Bugatti's company went bankrupt in 1956, less than ten years after his death. Before that, they had produced 8,000 cars, some with racing qualities that are still unforgettable.

About 35 years later, the Bugatti company returned to the world. A wealthy Italian car dealer named Romano Artioli purchased the rights to use the Bugatti brand, allowing this sacred brand to once again start producing popular cars.

To commemorate the 110th anniversary of Ettore’s birth, Artioli launched the EB110 named after him. It is the fastest and one of the most expensive production cars ever built in the world. In 1995, after producing 126 units of the supercar-like 550-horsepower EB, Bugatti closed its doors again, leaving about a dozen cars in various stages of assembly on the production line until the company's creditors decided what to do with them. they.

In 1998, the German Volkswagen Company purchased the trademark rights of Bugatti, and the Bugatti brand entered a new stage amidst much lamentation. People thought Volkswagen's idea of ??rebuilding the ill-fated brand was unrealistic and would ultimately fail again. In 2001, Bugatti launched the Veyron 16.4 concept car and announced that it would be the fastest and most powerful car in the world. After many years, the Veyron finally made its debut and entered the public eye.

Bugatti's new president, Dr. Bscher, was determined to make Veyron available again. With the help of chief engineer Schreiber, he led the company to conduct a large-scale redesign of more than 85% of Veyron's parts.

The result was that the new Veyron, named after Pierre Veyron, who had driven a Bugatti 57 to win the 1939 Le Mans crown, was exactly what he promised people: the most powerful and fastest Speed, the most expensive car ever built.

It is difficult to accurately describe the process of driving this car, because there is no model of the same level as it as a reference. Who can drive a 1001 horsepower, 407 km/h speed, value Can you tell everyone clearly about the European supercar costing 1 million euros?

For example, as a car, the price of this car is astonishing (at the time of writing this article, the price of this car is 1.5 million Canadian dollars, approximately 10.4 million yuan). The price of the best-selling Honda Civic in Canada is only one percent of that of the Veyron. Even in Vancouver or Toronto, $1.5 million can buy a very nice house, a yacht or retire in Boca Raton.

But for those who can spend more than $100 million on a house, $200 million on a yacht or more than 20 million to travel to the moon on a Russian spacecraft, the value of the Veyron It is well in line with society’s tolerance. After all, it's value for money.

Maybe many people will openly question whether it is necessary to build a car with such strong power and super speed, but maybe they don't understand or understand that the Veyron is actually a technological achievement. Human beings have always been striving to travel faster, fly higher, design more exquisitely, and so on.

The Veyron has pushed cars to a new level. Even if a company has what we consider to be unlimited resources, it would be difficult to produce a Veyron.

Beijing, January 7, Special Report: One of the world’s fastest and most expensive sports cars launched by Bugatti, a subsidiary of Germany’s Volkswagen, was recently unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in the United States.

This Bugatti Veyron 16.4 sports car combines ultra-high horsepower and ultra-luxury. It is designed in Italy and produced by Bugatti's French car factory. It uses a German-made engine and a British-made transmission device. It can be said to be the best. configuration. It is equipped with a 16-cylinder engine with a power of 1,000 horsepower and a top speed of 402 kilometers per hour. The seats are custom-made leather seats from Italy. This car is also the first German Volkswagen sports car named Bugatti in the past 50 years.

Bugatti is a famous Italian sports car brand, now owned by Volkswagen of Germany. Bugatti Automobile Manufacturing Company said they plan to produce 50 units of this top sports car per year.

Bugatti President Thomas Binsche said that 12 to 14 new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 cars are expected to roll off the assembly line by the end of January this year. Binshe said that this new car, which sells for about US$1.2 million, will definitely be sought after by super car fans after it is launched, because for them, this car will be the greatest enjoyment in their lives.

Two records that broke the world's automobile industry today: the top speed of 407.5 kilometers per hour, compared with the 386.6 kilometers per hour set by the McLaren F1 sports car in Nardo, Italy, which has not been broken for 10 years. The record is 19 kilometers per hour faster, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is 2.9 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the F1 record.

The Bugatti Veyron sells for 1.1 million euros overseas. Bugatti, a super sports car brand owned by Volkswagen, is not well known in China. What they have to do now is to make a name for themselves in the Chinese market. "The gross profit margin is not as high as expected." After being introduced to China, the new car is expected to sell for 25 million yuan.

On March 19 this year, in the French town of Molsheim, Bugatti’s birthplace, Bugatti officially signed a contract with Shanghai Bentley Auto Sales Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Dachang Hong Group Co., Ltd., authorizing it to become Bugatti’s Chinese automobile manufacturer. dealer. This is another important step taken by Bugatti in the Chinese market after the Bugatti Satellite 16.4 landed in Hong Kong last year. This shows Bugatti’s full confidence in the Chinese automobile market.

Detailed explanation of Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The name Bugatti Veyron (VEYRON) comes from Pierre Veyron, who drove a Bugatti 57 to win the 1939 Le Mans crown. And 16.4 represents 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers.

This car is equipped with a W-type 16-cylinder engine specially developed by Volkswagen. It can be said that it is the product of two V8 engines sharing one crankshaft. In addition, the engine is equipped with 4 turbochargers. The displacement reaches 7993cc. It can burst out a maximum horsepower of 1,001 horses. At the same time, it can output a huge torque of 730NM at a very low 1,000RPM. It can burst out a peak torque of 1,250NM at 2,200RPM. This torque will continue until 5,500RPM.

The results of strong power are obvious: 0-100km/h acceleration: 2.5 seconds, 0-200km/h: acceleration 7.3 seconds, 0-300km/h acceleration: 16.7 seconds, 0-400km/h h acceleration: 55.6 seconds. The top speed reaches 407KM/H. Such excellent acceleration results also benefit from the DSG dual-clutch transmission. This type of transmission uses two clutches. When a certain gear is in place, the other clutch is automatically connected to the next gear, minimizing the shift time and thus providing rapid acceleration.

In addition, this car is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system, which is similar to the four-wheel drive system used in Lamborghini and Porsche that uses a HALDEX center differential. The distribution of torque between the front and rear wheels is controlled through electromagnetic induction, making driving easier and control more responsive.

However, it is precisely because of this powerful engine that the Veyron has been criticized for being "bloated". The width of the vehicle is 1978mm, which is close to 2 meters. Although a large number of lightweight technologies are used, the vehicle weight still reaches 1888KG, approaching 1900KG. This was a devastating blow to Veyron's agility, and it also resulted in Veyron's unsatisfactory results on various tracks around the world.

If you buy this car, after signing the contract, the car owner will accept the invitation to go to France to customize the personal color and other personalized parameter design. After the 6-month customization process, the new car will immediately enter the next 6 months. monthly production process. From signing and booking to personalized customization, from meticulous production to driving training, it takes about a year from signing and booking to delivery to the owner of a Bugatti Veyron 16.4. This also means that after this car owner signs the contract, it is expected that the first Bugatti Veyron 16.4 will appear on the roads in China in April 2009.

[Edit this paragraph] Bugatti Veyron

Bugatti Veyron is officially named "Bugatti Veyron" in the Chinese market.

There is no doubt that this is the speed beast that often appears in the dreams of car fans, and we usually call it the "Bugatti Satellite".

Many people think that Buggieti is an Italian sports car brand. Maybe people think that only Italy, a country that is extremely obsessed with sports cars, can build such a violent machine.

However, France, which is equally romantic, is the birthplace of Buggieti. This ancient French sports car brand has been established for more than a hundred years. In 1947, Bugatti ceased operations due to the death of its founder Ettore Bugatti. It was not until the early 1990s that, with the efforts of Italian Romano Artioli, a fanatical car fan and industrialist, the Baojiadi brand was revived and launched a popular supercar-level production car like the EB110. Unfortunately, Baojiadi, which finally came back to life, declared bankruptcy in 1995 due to the company's financial difficulties, leaving only 139 EB110s in mass production and the stillborn EB112 concept car. In 1998, Pi?ch, a German automobile giant, bought the trademark rights of Baojiadi and officially incorporated Baojiadi into the Volkswagen Group and placed it under the jurisdiction of Volkswagen itself. After Volkswagen took over, Baojiadi was almost It can be said that it has never been absent from major international auto shows. It has launched several concept cars, but there has been no action in mass production. The Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 can be said to be the first mass-produced car to have the Baojiadi oval red factory emblem since the EB110. It is also the pioneering work after the second resurrection of Baojiadi.

Top speed 407 km/h

Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 is a unique supercar. No car manufacturer has ever designed, planned or built such an ultimate sports car: a power specification of 1,001 hp, a top speed of 407 km/h, a torque of 1,250 Nm, a 16-cylinder 4-turbocharged engine and a fixed Four wheel drive. The strongest power specifications and technological innovation push the acceleration performance to the extreme: 0-100 km/h in only 2.5 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 7.3 seconds, and 0-300 km/h in 16.7 seconds.

However, Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. has always emphasized that deceleration performance must be better than acceleration. Therefore, it only takes 2.3 seconds for the Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 to brake from 100-0 km/h.

Despite such high-performance technical data, the Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 is very suitable for daily driving. It perfectly combines the easiest, worry-free daily operation with exhilarating ultra-high-performance driving fun.

Setting a milestone

Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 brings together the top automobile manufacturing technology. Stay true to the tradition of Baojiadi. Nothing is too expensive or too perfect, only the best parts and materials will be used to produce the Weihang 16.4 supercar.

Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 has just made its global debut and has been recognized as a classic. Baojiadi has an immortal brand legend. As early as 1909, Ettore Bugatti Automobiles had established a car factory in Molsheim, France, which operated until 1956 and manufactured many of the world's fastest supercars. The Bugatti Satellite 16.4 is the first Bugatti super sports car since the Bugatti factory in Molsheim resumed production.

With its perfect combination of the simplest and worry-free daily operation, as well as amazing power and top-speed performance on the road, the Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 immediately became a coveted collection target for collectors. The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles has even exhibited a Bujiadi Satellite 16.4. In addition, it has attracted a county of potential customers who have not particularly considered buying the world's most powerful supercar, but are completely fascinated by its unparalleled comfort and easy daily control.

Ettore Bugatti, the founder of Bugatti, must be deeply gratified. He insists that Baojiadi's famous cars are real art, and Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 is a modern interpretation of his philosophy and concepts. This is a supercar that combines Bujiadi’s core values ??of art, form and perfect technology. There is no doubt that Weihang 16.4 has set a new milestone in automotive history.

Fifty Years of Automobile Legends

Today, fifty years later, the Bugatti supercar is produced again in the French town of Molsheim, symbolizing that Molsheim has once again become a Bugatti brand. Dee's hub of the world.

As part of history, this picturesque town near Strasbourg has never lost its importance. Baojiadi has a special experience that many super luxury car brands have never had. Even though Borgade products disappeared from the market for a while, Buggardi fanatics in the Alsace region, together with friends of Buggardi clubs around the world, have been passing on the Buggardi products for the past half century. Dee's brand tradition.

Ettore Bugatti’s founder, Ettore Bugatti’s insistence on aesthetics gave him a unique appreciation of vehicle art. He was originally an artist, not a technician. In the glorious years, Baojiadi won notable victories for warriors on the world's racetracks; and its applicability in daily driving allows Baojiadi to target a wider customer base. The noble design of a stroke of genius and the limited release of individual models made Baojiadi famous in one fell swoop, and entered the ranks of astronomical prices. With the deaths of his son Jean and the founder in 1939 and 1947 respectively, the weakening company eventually became unsustainable. After 47 years of production, the Baojiadi factory in Molsheim was forced to close after the last attempt failed in 1956. During this period, the factory produced 7,950 Baojiadi luxury cars with models ranging from 13 to 251.

Sky-high price, but still popular

100 units of Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 have been produced and delivered, and its limited edition silver model, Baojiadi, was launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Jiadi Satellite Pur Sang (pure blood), the appearance is made of aluminum and carbon fiber. This limited edition Baojiadi Satellite is priced at 1.4 million euros. It is limited to 5 units in the world and has been sold out that day. Although the Baojiadi Satellite 16.4 has been officially launched, unlike other luxury cars, its exact price has not been clearly stated.
