Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

The Bugatti Veyron was the world's fastest car back then with a top speed of about 407kmph or 252mph. However, not long later, a company came up and built the Ultimate Aero TT, which had a top speed of about 414kmph or 256mph.

And now, Bugatti has decided to improve on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 which costs 1million pounds. The difference in price is 600,000pounds, making the Bugatti Veyron SS 1.6million pounds. Both cars has the same acceleration.

The main difference is the speed and horsepower (from 1000horsepower to 1200). And the main reason for its creation, is to beat, the Ultimate Aero TT.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was claimed to be able to go up to 258mph. Just 2mph more. However, when they tested it out on the Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track, a 5kilometer test track with a straight road which is one of the only places that could max the Bugatti's speed, it did much more. James May from top gear, aka Captain slow, did a maximum speed of 259mph on the Bugatti Veyron SS, meaning that it had broken its initial claimed speed by 1mph. Therefore, making James May the fastest driver on a road legal car in the Guinness Book of records.

However, after James May's attempt, the car was handed over to a professional test driver from Bugatti, who managed to max the car's speed to an astonishing.......431kmph or 268mph, much higher than both the claimed speed and James May's attempt, meaning, James May lost his record within a day.

The Bugatti Veyron SS is just an incredible car. It looks much more sporty than its initial Bugatti Veyron 16.4 model. In fact, many are amazed that the car still has a radio. Usually, cars which want to break records are usually saving as much as possible on weight. The Bugatti Veyron SS is no different, however, it still doesn't economise much on the luxury unlike other cars.

In the show Top Gear, in its latest episode yet, Season 15 Episode 05, i was just glued to the screen when i realised what an incredible piece of engineering the Bugatti SS was. I am unable to find a video link at the moment due to it being banned because of copyright infringements, however, i can assure everyone that the episode was extremely interesting, especially when the Bugatti was driven by captain slow, who also drove the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 to its maximum speed in an earlier season of the show.

The Car also then went round the Top Gear track. The old Bugatti was out runned by other cars such as the Koenigseggs. And at the top of the list is the extremely ugly but fast car, the Gumpurt, which has an equally awful name.

And when the Bugatti Veyron SS went round the track, it looked extremely amazing. The Gumpurt had a time of 1minute 17seconds.

And as for the Bugatti Veyron, it made it round the Top Gear track in, 1 minute...and.......
...............16 seconds!


The long record has finally been broken.


Here are some pictures of the engineering brilliance!......My new favourite car for sure =) especially with the new colour scheme and all the records even on the top gear track, etc.
