First Production Car with Over 1,000 HP – The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was the first road-legal production car to exceed 1,000 horsepower, with its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine producing 1,001 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque.
Record-Breaking Top Speed – The Veyron 16.4 set a world record for the fastest production car in 2005, reaching a top speed of 407 km/h (253 mph), surpassing the McLaren F1’s previous record of 386 km/h (240 mph).
0-100 km/h in Just 2.5 Seconds – The Veyron’s all-wheel drive system and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission allowed it to launch from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds, making it one of the quickest cars of its time.
Quad-Turbocharged W16 Engine – The W16 engine is essentially two V8 engines merged together, featuring four turbochargers, making it one of the most complex and powerful engines ever put in a production car.
Uses 10 Radiators for Cooling – Due to its extreme performance, the Veyron requires 10 radiators, including 3 for the engine, 3 for the intercoolers, 2 for the air conditioning, 1 for the transmission oil, and 1 for the differential oil.
Super Expensive Tires – The Michelin PAX run-flat tires designed specifically for the Veyron can handle extreme speeds, but a full set costs around $25,000 and must be replaced every 10,000 miles.
Special "Top Speed Mode" for Maximum Performance – To reach its 253 mph top speed, the driver must insert a second key (Speed Key), which lowers the rear wing, reduces ride height, and optimizes aerodynamics.
Each Veyron Took Months to Build – The Veyron was hand-assembled at Bugatti’s factory in Molsheim, France, with each car taking around two months to complete, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship and exclusivity.
Costs More to Maintain Than Most Supercars – Regular servicing costs for the Veyron are extremely high, with an oil change costing up to $20,000 and an annual maintenance bill exceeding $50,000.
Replaced by the Bugatti Chiron in 2016 – After 450 units were built, the Veyron 16.4 was succeeded by the Chiron, which improved upon the Veyron’s performance, aerodynamics, and luxury features.

The Veyron 16.4 redefined hypercars with its 8.0L quad-turbo W16 (1,001hp) and 407 km/h top speed.
