The Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is a consequent of the further development of the classic exclusive 1,001-hp Bugatti’s previous version launched in 2005, the result is a car with a high performance of1,200-hp (882 kW) with a maximum torque of 1,500 Newton meters and a limited top speed of 415 km/h.
The Super Sport features four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers to boost the power of the 16-cylinder engine. The chassis has been extensively redesigned with slightly raised main-spring travel, stronger stabilizers, and new shock absorbers developed for racing cars.
The Super Sport’s body has been tuned. The front air intakes have been expanded and reshaped, with the lower one extending around the sides to the wheel arch. The back look has been revised with the double diffuser and a centrally arranged exhaust system. The skin is made entirely of carbon-fiber composites.
The new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport will begin production this autumn at Molsheim along with the Veyron and the Grand Sport. The first five cars – known as the World Record Edition – are in a special black exposed carbon and orange finish and have already been sold. The 100 per-cent clear-lacquered exposed carbon is available upon request.
The $600,000 Question
Does it feel any quicker? It's impossible to say. The extra torque makes that magnificent gearbox even more redundant. In Manual mode it will change up at the redline but won't kick down. Not that it matters much, as the car provides devastating acceleration in any gear you choose: 2nd, 3rd, 4th — it never really matters.
What the 2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport does is to stretch even further the Veyron's weird contrast between its almost uncontrolled acceleration and the complete control of the chassis. The stiffer suspension gives less roll and even more precise, tactile steering. It's sharper and more composed than a 4,052-pound all-wheel-drive car has any right to be, and only once in a day's driving over some terrible roads was there a harsh response to a crater.
Privately, those Bugatti suits sniffily claim not to take any notice of uncouth, overtuned muscle cars like the SSC or the Hennessey Venom, which claims a top speed of 272 mph but has yet to prove it. The Bugatti people say they built the Super Sport only because their customers demanded it. But secretly, they'll be praying they've done enough, and that like the Super Sport's price tag, its speed record will remain untouched.
