Al Habtoor Motors brings to the UAE the fastest car on earth - Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The announcement came on the eve of the 8th Middle East International Motor Show in Dubai, which was concluded recently.

The historic fast racing cars of Bugatti date back to 1909 and dominated the motoring world until 1940. The legendary Bugatti is back with the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which is now in series production. Awarded 'Car of the Year' and 'Dream Car of the Year' for the year 2005 by Top Gear - UK's leading motoring magazine, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 literally whizzes by at its top speed letting only a nanosecond-glimpse of its taillights.

Mr. Mark L Jones - General Manager, Al Habtoor Motors said that it is a great achievement on the part of Al Habtoor Motors to introduce Bugatti in the Middle East market. 'Within days of its launch, Al Habtoor Motors has already received four confirmed orders for Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and three more are expected', added Mr. Mark L Jones. From now onwards, Al Habtoor Motors will be in charge of the sales, events and promotions, servicing, organizing factory visits and also test-drives for Bugatti in the UAE.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4: Engine & Performance
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 comes with a W16 alloy engine and 1001 horsepower (736 kW), the car propels from 0 to 100 kph (62.1 mph) in just 2.5 seconds and past 300 kph (196.4 mph) in 14 seconds. Designed by Bugatti, the engine employs the space-saving VR principle with two particularly slender eight-cylinder blocks arranged at a 90-degree angle to each other.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 generates a torque of 1,250 Nm between 2,200 and 5,500 rpm and a speed of 406 kph (252.3 mph) - the maximum speed for which chassis and drive train have been designed. The power transmission is through an innovative direct-shift sequential 7-speed gearbox and it transmits the engine's power to the wheels via permanent four-wheel drive.

Safety Features:
The safety system of Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has been designed to cope with its extraordinary performance, acceleration and speed. Maximum safety is assured by its single-piece carbon fibre monocoque, while air bags give the driver and passenger additional protection. The high-speed tyres are designed specially for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. With the innovative PAX System, even if air pressure is suddenly lost, Bugatti ensures safe handling. Another safety element is the rear spoiler that acts as a kind of 'parachute brake' during emergency braking.

Exterior & Interior:
Only a few changes are made to the appearance of the latest generation of Bugatti as compared to its original marque. Some of the striking features of Bugatti Veyron 16.4 are its athletic appearance, distinct curves, imaginary extension of the side window area wide fenders, and the front and side air inlets. The classical two-tone paintwork of the series remains unchanged. Specially selected five standard colour combinations are available for the series. The wing mirrors have integrated indicator lights, the retractable rear spoiler has been aerodynamically modified in line with its dual role as a braking element, and the enormous 20" wheels feature a discreet EB logo in the center, yet another feature of its 1930s racing cars.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 unveils an exclusive world of its own. But for the instruments and a few metal trim pieces, the interior is almost completely swathed in fine leather. The driver gets a complete report from the dash, including real-time horsepower thanks to its classically designed instruments. It's fascinating to note that some of the superfluous instruments are deliberately avoided - evoking its uncompromising sportiness.
