This is Bugatti's third racing legend edition. The Bugatti Veyron Meo Costantini is a very limited edition of Bugatti's 1,200hp Grand Sport Vitesse with a different appearance. Bugatti will only make three and their going price is $2.8 million. Its 8-liter W16 engine (16 cylinders in the shape of a W rather than a V6 for example) it achieves an unparalleled torque of 1,500 Newton meters from
1,200 hp at 3,000-5,000 rpm, and can accelerate from 0-62 mph
in 2.6 seconds. Its top speed has been clocked at 253 miles an hour which is faster than an F1 car. F1 cars are raced in the IZOD series and European events and are much lighter than a Bugatti. This also means that this is the fastest convertible in the world. Bugattis are also known to be the most expensive cars in the world. The car is constructed mostly of carbon fiber and the parts that are not painted are hand-polished aluminum that is given a clear coat of lacquer. This also means that Bugatti is the only car manufacturer to produce a car with clear-coated aluminum bodywork. Bugatti's new color "Bugatti Dark Blue Sport" is a reflection of
French's signature classic motor sport blue color of Bugatti's racing
heritage. As a reference to Costantini's victory at Targa Florio, the silhouette
of the historic race course is painted on the underside of the rear wing that comes out to slow the car down at high speeds (air-brake).
It also has Meo Costantini's name embroidered on the seats and door panels. On the door panels is beautiful simple line work of Bugatti's racing history with Meo Costantini.
This car is really cool! I think my favorite part is the embroidered seats and door panels. It's a really neat touch. I would love to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part are the door panels too, and yes this would be amazing to see in person. But only three will exist... So chances are very slim, however there is only one Mona Lisa...
