Engine output
According to Volkswagen Group and
certified by TÜV Süddeutschland, the final production Veyron engine
produces 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) of motive power, and
generates 1,250 newton metres (922 lbf·ft) of torque. The nominal
figure has been stated by Bugatti officials to be conservative, with
the real total being 1,020 metric horsepower (750 kW; 1,006 bhp) or
more.

Top speed
German inspection officials recorded
an average top speed of the original version of 408.47 km/h (253.81
mph)during test sessions on the Ehra-Lessien test track on 19 April
2005.
This top speed was verified by James
May on Top Gear in November 2006, again at Volkswagen Group's private
Ehra-Lessien test track. May noted that at top speed the engine consumes
45,000 litres (9,900 imp gal) of air per minute (as much as a human
breathes in four days). The Veyron at the time had the highest top speed
of any street legal production car. Back in the Top Gear studio,
co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson commented that most supercars felt like
they were shaking apart at their top speed, and asked May if that was
the case with the Veyron at 407 km/h (253 mph). May responded that no,
the Veyron was very controlled, and only wobbled a tiny bit when the air
brake deployed.
The car's everyday top speed is
listed at 350 km/h (220 mph). When the car reaches 220 km/h (140 mph),
hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 9 cm
(3.5 in). At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. In this
handling mode, the wing provides 3,425 newtons (770 lbf) of downforce,
holding the car to the road.
For top speed mode the driver must,
while stationary, toggle a special top speed key to the left of the
driver's seat. A checklist then establishes whether the car and its
driver are ready to attempt to reach 407 km/h (253 mph). If so, the rear
spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers shut, and normal 12.5 cm (4.9
in) ground clearance drops to 6.5 cm (2.6 in).

Braking
The Veyron's brakes use cross
drilled, radially vented carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC)
composite discs, manufactured by SGL Carbon, which have a much greater
resistance to brake fade when compared with conventional cast iron
discs. The lightweight aluminium alloy monobloc brake calipers are made
by AP Racing; the fronts have eight[21] titanium pistons and the rear
calipers have six pistons. Bugatti claims maximum deceleration of 1.3 g
on road tyres. As an added safety feature, in the event of brake
failure, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) has also been installed on
the handbrake.
Prototypes have been subjected to
repeated 1.0 g braking from 312 km/h (194 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph)
without fade. With the car's acceleration from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 312
km/h (194 mph), that test can be performed every 22 seconds. At speeds
above 200 km/h (120 mph), the rear wing also acts as an airbrake,
snapping to a 55° angle in 0.4 seconds once brakes are applied,
providing an additional 0.68 g (6.66 m/s2) of deceleration (equivalent
to the stopping power of an ordinary hatchback).[21] Bugatti claims the
Veyron will brake from 400 km/h (250 mph) to a standstill in less than
10 seconds, though distance covered in this time will be half a
kilometre (third of a mile).

Something Special About This Special version
The Vitesse is a version of the Grand Sport with a Super Sport engine. The vehicle was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.[66] It produces a maximum output of 1,200 PS (880 kW; 1,200 bhp) @ 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,500 N·m (1,100 lb·ft) @ 3,000-5,000 rpm. These figures allow the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from standing in 2.6 seconds. On the 6th of April, 2013, the Vitesse set the record for the fastest roadster in the world with an average top speed of 408.84 km/h (254.04 mph). The maximum speed can only be reached on closed tracks. On normal roads, the Vitesse is electronically limited to 375 km/h (233 mph). It costs €2 million.[67]
After the world record attempt, Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S, said “When we introduced the Vitesse, we established the top speed for open-top driving to be 375 km/h. Still, we could not let go of the idea of reaching the 400 km/h mark with this car as well. The fact that we have succeeded in reaching 408.84 km/h is a thrill for me, and it reaffirms once again that Bugatti is the leader when it comes to technology in the international automotive industry." The driver, Anthony Liu, claimed "Even at such high speeds it remained incredibly comfortable and stable. With an open top, you can really experience the sound of the engine and yet even at higher speeds I did not get compromised by the wind at all.

Veyrons Overview:
The
Bugatti Veyron's birth was not an easy one, that it came to
be because one day Volkswagen tsar Ferdinand Piech had a dream: to
provide the world with a car that had 1000bhp, cost one million euros
and could do over 400km/h (250mph). To begin with the brief seemed
impossible but in Piech’s mind, not something that couldn’t happen.
