Bugatti Veryron Super Sport

Indian roads are not meant for super speed cars and will never be atleast for some years but its not the Indian manufacturers who are focusing on high speed machines but as always the manufacturers located on the other side of the planet.

This French brand was found by Ettore Bugatti,an Italian immigrant described as an eccentric genius for building high performance automobiles and the brand still carries his legacy with cars like the Bugatti Veyron. 

This car previously held the record for the fastest landspeed of production cars and now the latest addition to its titles is another landspeed record created by Buatti Veyron Super Sport.

This car broke the previous world record with an average top speed of 431km/hr on the proving grounds of the Volkswagen Group at Ehra-Lessien (nearby its headquarters at Wolfsburg) under the sharp observation of a representative of Guinness Book of Records and officials from German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV).

Bugatti’s Pilote Officiel Pierre Henri Raphanel drove the car from north to south with a speed of 427, 933 km/h and then back with a speed of 431,211 km/h which led the jury calculate an record breaking average top speed of 431,072 km/h. Bugatti’s chief engineer Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber said,”We took it that we would reach an average value of 425 km/h, but the conditions today were perfect and allowed even more.”
