Bugatti Veyron (Bugatti Veyron). Bugatti Veyron (Bugatti Veyron) Bugatti Veyron consumption

For ten years from 2005 to 2015, the Bugatti Veyron was the most powerful and fastest production luxury sports car. The car, named after factory racer Pierre Veyron, was a role model for automobile designers and the envy of the world's richest people.

The advantages of the Bugatti Veyron, named “Car of the Decade” (Top Gear and Robb Report magazines, 2010), were the beauty of the exterior, technological innovations in production, technical innovations, and luxurious interior design. Three hundred coupes and 150 roadsters were built before production ended in 2015, not counting the anniversary editions of the supercar, each of which sold at auction for record sums.

History of the model

The idea for the New Bugatti came from the head of the Volkswagen concern, Ferdinand Piëch, even before the purchase of the French automobile company in 1999. Concept cars (body models without an engine) Bugatti EB 18.4 Veyron Concept and Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron Concept were shown at the Tokyo and Paris Motor Shows in 1999 and 2001.


Serial production of the Bugatti Veyron began in September 2005, after a test copy set a speed record for production road cars in April, exceeding 400 km/h. Later in 2010, a souped-up version of the Super Sport with the limiter disabled set a new speed record in two runs. average speed 431 km/h.

Such a long period of development and production of a sports car is associated with difficulties that automobile designers have not yet overcome. No one in the world had experience in building thousand-horsepower engines, fuel pumps for high-speed transfer of gasoline, cooling systems, gearboxes for torques of such strength. Tires capable of operating at speeds of 400 km/h also became a problem (even Formula 1 cars drive slower). Only replacing the chief engineer was able to move the stalled project off the ground. In 2003, the Volkswagen group entrusted this role to Wolfgang Schreiber (now head of Bentley production), who brought the development to completion.

Exterior that has become a model of automotive fashion

The exterior of the record holder for speed and cost became a model for designers of expensive sports cars for several years. Many models used the ideas of convex wheel arches, a sloping coupe roof, a sloping hood, and a sloped windshield.

Headlights parallel to the road have become fashionable.

Only the characteristic shape of the false radiator grille and the oval air intakes behind the doors escaped copying.

The body of the new Bugatti Veyron gave the impression of aerodynamic perfection, although in these indicators (drag coefficient 0.35 - 0.42) it is inferior to many models. Solid dimensions do not prevent the low and wide work of the main designer of the project, Hartmut Warkus, from looking harmonious and elegant.

Supercar interior: chic minimalism

There is nothing superfluous in the interior of the Bugatti Veyron; all the details work to enhance the image of a sports car. The dashboard does not have touch screens or numerous control buttons. The oval center console, made of polished aluminum, houses only two controls for the automatic climate control and the gear selector.

The semicircular instrument panel under the oval visor houses five traditional round dials in deeply recessed wells.

Speedometer Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The central place is occupied by the tachometer, the lower right corner is the speedometer marked up to 420 km/h, the lower left corner of the original power meter ends with the number 1001, the upper right corner and the upper left corner of the dashboard are occupied by the fuel level and oil, respectively.

The asceticism of the equipment is compensated expensive materials finishes, among which the contrasts of polished aluminum with black carbon and colored leather stand out. Two deep sports seats are designed for high speeds, they provide strong lateral support, lumbar bolsters, massive headrests, and multi-range adjustments.

Technical characteristics of the Bugatti Veyron

Amazing specifications required new developments in components and parts and the use of new technologies. Even its creators cannot say exactly how many technical innovations are implemented in the supercar. Among the most significant are: the assembly of the car from three modules, the rear wing, the active rear differential, and the opening flaps of the front bumper.

During testing, the engine showed a power of more than 3,000 horsepower, of which two-thirds was spent on heat costs. Therefore, it was necessary to develop new system cooling, which included a titanium exhaust system, 10 radiators (three each for the engine and intercooler, one each for the gearbox, air conditioning, differential cooling and engine oil pump). Each radiator is assembled by hand from six hundred plates.


Engine Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The seven-speed robotic transmission for the Bugatti Veyron was developed over two years by 75 Ricardo engineers, who managed to achieve a shift speed of 150 milliseconds.

Gearbox Bugatti Veyron 16.4

After the concept car was shown, changing the design was prohibited; the layout and installation of units added additional difficulties to the designers. The manual assembly of each supercar from 3,500 parts took a team of 8 engineers 15 days.

Bugatti Veyron price

The standard price for a production Bugatti Veyron was one million euros. In dollars, the price of a Bugatti Veyron was 1,200,000. Anniversary and special versions were sold at auction for much more, for 1,650,000 - 1,800,000 euros (price in rubles 90 - 120 million at prices of those years).

Supercar owners do not advertise their purchases and are often unknown. Therefore, the photo of the Buggati sports car purchased for the police of the United Arab Emirates became a world sensation. In Russia (according to unverified data), about ten supercars are used.

It is impossible to say exactly how much the Bugatti Veyron costs now. Due to limited production and unavailability of ordering, cars of this class do not become cheaper over time, but become more expensive. Not all private transactions between owners are disclosed. At public auctions, the 2012 Grand Sport Vitesse version was sold for a record price of $2,900,000.

Operating costs

Operating a Bugatti car is an expensive pleasure. The Bugatti Veyron is equipped with special tires costing $25,000, which can only be changed in France (there are no mounting and balancing machines in other countries). A complete tire replacement costs $70,000. Diagnostics costs $29,000.

The extreme power of the Bugatti Veyron engine also causes enormous gasoline consumption. Average fuel consumption is more than 24.1-40.4 liters per 100 km. A tank capacity of one hundred liters at maximum speed is enough for 120 - 130 kilometers, i.e. 83 liters per 100 kilometers! Annual maintenance for a Bugatti totals no less than $300,000.

Test drive Bugatti Veyron from Auto Plus

Bugatti Veyron's graceful drive through the snow

We all know the legendary hypercar. His time has passed, now his replacement has been released new car, this is the Bugatti Chiron 2018-2019.

It was presented to the public in the spring at the Geneva Motor Show. The model will win the title of the fastest car in the world. Well, let's see what new Bugatti engineers have prepared for us.

Exterior

The model has changed in terms of appearance, but still shares the general features of its predecessor. The design has become more modern and much more aggressive.

The front part primarily attracts with its LED optics, which consists of 4 square sections on each headlight. Massive relief lines appeared, and the signature radiator grille remained. The bumper attracts attention with two massive air intakes for cooling the brakes.


The side of the Bugatti Chiron 2018 attracts attention thanks to the unusual design of the rear air intake. The doors have a huge air intake behind them and the whole thing is decorated with an oval chrome trim. The wheel arches look great, they are muscular, especially the rear one. The wheels are also stylishly designed.

There is also a lot of interesting things at the back; what attracts the most attention is the horizontal solid LED line of headlights. Below in the middle we can see two huge exhaust pipes.


What we have as a result is that the car has become significantly more aggressive compared to its predecessor, and this is an important factor for such models.

Body dimensions:

  • length – 4544 mm;
  • width – 2038 mm;
  • height – 1212 mm;
  • wheelbase – 2711 mm;
  • front wheels – R20;
  • rear wheels - R21.

Interior


The interior is also well made, without unnecessary elements, all so that the driver does not get distracted from the road. As you understand, everything is upholstered in leather of the highest quality possible, and the assembly itself is also ideal.

The driver and sole occupant of the 2018 Bugatti Chiron will sit in excellent sport seats that hold the driver and passenger in the corners. Of course, the model will not please you with free space; there is not much of it, but it is quite enough.


The separation between the driver and passenger is made in an oval style, as is the side of the model. All this smoothly transitions to a tunnel on which there is an armrest and a small niche for small items. That's all, it's certainly not usual, but it's correct for a hypercar.

The three-spoke steering wheel will be in the hands of the warrior; it is trimmed with both leather and carbon fiber. The steering wheel is excellent and comfortable, it also has buttons for the most important functions. The instrument panel has a huge analog tachometer in the middle, which houses a small electronic speedometer. On the left and right are monitors that show important information, such as navigation data.


The central console of the Bugatti Chiron 2019 is equipped to a minimum; it has 4 round adjustments for different functions, for example, blowing the seats. There is also a hazard warning button and a small fire gear selector, which we will discuss later.

In fact, the car has a trunk, it is located in the front and, surprisingly, it is quite roomy for this class, 44 liters. Excellent interior with 6 airbags, which are located behind the carbon panels on the dashboard. It also has excellent climate control, which is good.

Specifications Bugatti Chiron 2018

Now it’s time to judge the most interesting thing - the engine. There is a motor installed here, which is similar to the previous one, but still it has been greatly altered.


An 8-liter gasoline unit with 16 cylinders and W-shaped distribution is installed here. It also has 4 turbines that operate alternately. The first two work constantly, and the rest are connected at 3800 rpm.

There is a direct injection system, which is carried out by 32 injectors. The intake manifold is made of carbon fiber. At the output it has 1500 horsepower and 1600 H*m of torque.

Acceleration to hundreds takes just 2.5 seconds, and top speed is limited to 420 km/h. An excellent result, slightly better than its predecessor.

Chiron 2018 gearbox and suspension


The engine is paired with a 7-speed DSG robotic gearbox, which has a dual clutch. Also installed is a Haldex clutch, electronic front locking and an active rear differential. Torque is constantly distributed in a ratio of 45:55, and if necessary, the front wheels can receive up to 90 percent of the torque.

The dynamics are simply gorgeous, as already mentioned, it takes 2.5 seconds to reach the first hundred, the second is achieved in 6.5 seconds and a little more than 13 are required to accelerate to 300 km/h.


There are aluminum springs at the front and carbon at the rear. The chassis is completely independent, its shock absorbers are electronically controlled, which themselves change the ground clearance if necessary.

The 2019 Bugatti Chiron suspension has 5 modes that can be controlled using buttons on the steering wheel. Auto, Lift, Handling, Autobahn and Top Speed ​​are the modes of this chassis. Automatic mode automatically adjusts all indicators by analyzing the road and driving style. Lift is a simple mode that does not allow acceleration over 50 km/h, it is intended for artificial obstacles (speed bumps). The third mode works when overcoming 180 km/h. The rest are intended for the track and for maximum speed,

Braking is also at an excellent level, as silicon carbide disc brakes with 8 aluminum calipers are responsible for this. The spoiler also moves during heavy braking.


Bugatti Chiron price

This is also one of the interesting points that interests many. Let's start with the fact that it is planned to produce no more than 500 models, almost all of which have already been sold out. Minimum cost equals 2,400,000 euros, and the final price depends on the preferences of the buyer. The model teaches everything that an ordinary driver needs, but he doesn’t need it.

It's safe to say that the new hypercar has become much better than the previous one. It received a more aggressive design, a more powerful engine and better interior. The engineers deserve a big thank you for their work.

Video review of Bugatti Chiron 2018

Bugatti has officially announced fuel economy data for the new most powerful. Compared to the previous Veyron 16.4, the new sports car is slightly more efficient. But a little. So according to the official specification, the Bugatti Chiron produces 1,500 hp. on average consumes 21.4 liters per 100 km. Not bad, especially considering that I consumed at least 23.5 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. This is approximately 2.3 liters of fuel for every 10 kilometers.

This slight increase in fuel efficiency of the Bugatti Chiron shows that, despite the fact that the new one uses the same 8.0-liter W16 engine as used in the Bugatti Veyron, the engineers still managed to improve the engine, not only increasing its power, but also reducing fuel consumption.

Bugatti Chiron fuel consumption on the highway


Regarding the fuel consumption of the Bugatti Chiron when driving on the highway, the sports car showed slightly worse results than the Veyron, produced from 2011 to 2015.

So, according to official data, the Bugatti Chiron consumes 16.8 liters per 100 km on the highway, while the Bugatti Veyron consumes 15.8 l/100 km on the highway.

Bugatti Chiron fuel consumption in the city


Bugatti also announced how much fuel the sports car consumes in city mode.

So, when driving in the city, the new hypercar consumes 26.1 l/100 km. For example, I consumed 29.4 l/100 km in the urban cycle.

Of course, these official fuel economy figures are based on the sports car's official factory measurements. Naturally, Bugatti carried out measurements in ideal conditions, which are usually almost impossible to reproduce in the real world.


Especially when you know that you are sitting behind the wheel of a 1,500-horsepower sports car that is ready to send you into the stratosphere with the first press of the gas pedal.

So in any case, these Bugatti Chiron fuel economy data will have little to do with actual fuel consumption.

But on the other hand, if you care about how much gas it consumes, then you shouldn't own it. This car is not about saving fuel.

At the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, a pre-production sample was exhibited under the new name Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron. The first production car was released in 2005. The price for purchasing a car will range from 43 to 69 million rubles.
The maximum speed set during official tests on the Ehra-Lessien highway was 407 kilometers per hour, acceleration time to 100 km/h is 2.5 seconds, to 200 km/h - 7.3, and to 300 - 16.7 seconds. . The maximum speed for everyday use is 377 kilometers per hour.
These achievements make the car not only the fastest car, but also the most dynamic production car in history. It also ranks first in fuel consumption, consuming 125 liters per 100 kilometers at full throttle. The actual consumption is 40.4 liters in the urban cycle, 24.1 in the mixed cycle, and 14.7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway.
The EB Veyron 16.4 features unique ventilated carbon-ceramic brake discs and eight-piston calipers. At speeds above 200 km/h, when braking, the wing is activated, acting as an aerodynamic brake.
The tires were created specifically for high speed conditions by Michelin, which provided all the necessary parameters for wear resistance and suitability at speeds of more than 400 km/h.
