Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron Pur Sang is a vehicle built in Molsheim. It was presented at Frankfurt and only 300 models will be made.
Bugatti Veyron's body is made of aluminum and carbon fiber which wraps the big W16 1001 bhp engine. The body has two main colors: black and silver. The engineers combined the comfort with the power and the light with the darkness.
The Veyron model has a weight of 1888 kg and the power of the W16 8000 cc with four turbochargers is 1001 bhp. The maximum speed of this model is 406 km/s, 0-100 km/h in 2.4 sec.
The aluminum colored one ranges for about $3,900,000.
The four Bugatti Veyron models sport the racing colours of the relevant countries: blue for France, red for Italy, green for Britain and white for Germany. All four cars have an immediate “predecessor” in the shape of a Bugatti type 35 – the brand’s most successful racing car – lining up alongside the corresponding new model. These four historic 35s represent the generation of the legendary Bugatti Grand Prix racers that recorded countless victories in the 1920s with world-famous racing drivers at the wheel. The names of four of these drivers are bywords for these achievements, and it is after them that today’s Veyron “successors” have been named: Jean-Pierre Wimille for the blue Veyron, Achille Varzi for the red, Malcolm Campbell for the green and Herrmann zu Leiningen for the white model.

BENTLEY VS BUGATTI
Look too quickly and you'd swear that these two exotics are the same car. Anything longer than a glance and you start to notice the differences. Even then, the silhouette of the Bugatti and the Bentley are quite similar. Both brands are under Volkswagen's corporate umbrella, and both cars were touched by the design fingerprint of Hartmut Warkuss. The shape of these two cars seemingly represents what VW's design folks thought of as a supercar eight years ago. We think it still works pretty well.
Remembering our remedial lesson in how to pronounce Hunaudieres brings 1999 flooding back. Volkswagen had recently purchased Bentley, and they made a splash by debuting a supercar concept powered by a W16 engine with rumored LeMans aspirations. In fact, Hunaudieres is the name of the straightaway at LeMans. The car never made it out racing, though Bentley campaigned the Speed 8 from 2001-2003.
A few months after the Bentley was on the stand in Geneva, the Bugatti Veyron was rolled out at the Tokyo Motor Show. The Veyron was originally slated to run a W18 engine, but the production version wound up with a turbocharged W16. The Veyron has gone on to become the fastest and most powerful new car you can buy today. It looks like the Bentley team donated their engine and interior to the final car, which has turned out quite nicely, thank you.
