Motoring: Alien from «space»

Now there is no need to pass a grueling training at Baikonour if you wish to experience the sensation of space, albeit it time to say goodbye to planet Earth with the world’s most expensive modern car at 1.2 million euros; the new super speedy Bugatti Veyron.

It turns out that we are close to accessibility directly on the grounds of weightlessness and space velocity. In 1908, in Germany, artist and engineer Ettore Bugatti built his first car Bugatti Type 10, but no one could have imagined such a brilliant future for the brand.

After decades of its glorious history Bugatti continued a creation of a unique concept car Bugatti EB 16 / 4 Veyron, named after the legendary French rider Pierre Veyron. In 1939 driving Bugatti 57C , Pierre won 24 hour race at Le Mans. As a woman who has changed her hairdo, Bugatti gained a new name, having innovated almost everything; from the engine, consisting of two V-shaped “figure eights” to the bewildering sporting body.

The beginning of the twentieth century models are put into batch production. To avoid misunderstanding, Bugatti Automobiles S. A.S. announced the engine power to 1001 horsepower. It´s not over with “animals”, they use leather of cows grazing in alpine meadows at 2000 meters above sea level for dressing salon.

Today, concern continues to astound the world. Its stories include all that simple automobilist can not even imagine; not imaginable speed, the car is capable of movement by water, the favor of Queen (and this to the French car), but to stop means to lose, which the world´s concern can not afford.

Once again, a community of auto-gourmets, with bated breath, wait for the appearance of a new module, expected to replace the Bugatti Veyron. As assure the representatives of the French auto company, the fastest car in the world will be launched in 2013. It is already known that the motor force in 1200 will allow the car to go from zero to hundred kilometers per hour as well as to be dispersed only in 2.2 seconds. Extremists and the fans of speed can afford to enjoy a 425 km / h.

Recently as it appeared on the network pictures (yet unofficial), we can only imagine how “handsome” this would be in reality. Yet everything is known only to supercar´s designer Hartmut Warkus that is developing a model in cooperation with Lamborghini. All should be in a hurry to see! It only remains to recall that, in spite of the “cosmic” value, the earlier model after 24 hours release of the world premiere won the hearts and lighted wallets of five lucky ones.
