1.4 million dollar car on show and for sale in Miami

MIAMI - The most expensive car in the world is being showcased in South Florida. The Bugatti Veyron has 1,001 horsepower and costs $1.4 million, and only 300 will ever be made.

"If you want to go 6 to 60 in 2.5 seconds, you would need 1,000 horsepower," said Ashley Ellott, of Braman Miami.

The 16-cylinder European beauty is also the fastest car, and the only one being showcased in North America is in Miami, drawing a lot of "oohs" and "ahhs" from a lingering crowd.

Braman Miami let NBC 6's Amara Sohn take the $1.4 million rarity for a spin. Men were drooling all over the car.

"Heads turn. People really like the car," Ellott said.

Sohn said after the drive that nothing can prepare you for the whiplash you get from the 1.7 G's.

"The acceleration is just mind-boggling," Ellott said.

Ten people have committed to buy the car from the dealership.

"The down payment is $400,000 for the car," Ellott said.

A sandwich shop employee said he is already making plans.

"I need to sell about 1 million sandwiches, and then I can afford it," he said.

Test drives are not available, but if you want to see what the hype is all about, you can see the car at Braman Miami until Thursday.

Part of the reason for the looks is aerodynamics that are required to keep it on the ground at the speeds its capable of. It can theoretically hit 300mph, but it is electronicly limited.

Quote:

The W16 produces 1001 metric horsepower, equivalent to 987 SAE net horsepower or 736 kW. This easily makes it the most powerful production road-car engine in history. Torque is 1250 N·m (922 ft·lbf). According to Volkswagen, the final production Veyron engine produces between 1020 and 1040 metric horsepower (1006 to 1026 SAE net hp), so the car will be advertised as producing "1001 horsepower" in both the US and European markets.

Top speed was initially promised to be 252 mph (406 km/h), but test versions were unstable at that speed, forcing a redesign of the aerodynamics. In May, 2005, a prototype Veyron tested at a Volkswagen track near Wolfsburg, Germany, and recorded a top speed of 248.5 mph (400 km/h)( electronically limited). In October, 2005, Car and Driver magazine's editor Csaba Csere test drove the final production version of the Veyron for the November 2005 issue. This test, at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track, reached a top speed of 253 mph (407 km/h).

The Veyron is the quickest production car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) with an estimated time of 2.5 seconds. It also reaches 200 and 300 km/h (124 and 186 mph) in 7.3 and 16.7 seconds respectively. It should also be noted that the Veyron's 0-200mph time is quicker than the McLaren F1's 120-200mph time. This makes the Veyron the quickest-accelerating production vehicle in history. It also consumes more fuel than any other production car, using 40.4 L/100 km (5.82 mpg) in city driving and 24.1 L/100 km (10 mpg) in combined cycle. At full-throttle, it uses more than 180 L/100 km (2.1 mpg) - at full throttle, the Veyron would empty its 100 litre fuel tank in just 12.5 minutes. The car's everyday top speed is listed at 234 m.p.h. When the car reaches 137 mph, hydraulics lower the car until it has a ground clearance of about 3 1/2 inches. At the same time, the wing and spoiler deploy. This is the "handling" mode, in which the wing helps provide 770 pounds of downforce, holding the car to the road. The driver must, using the key, toggle the lock to the left of his seat in order to use the maximum speed of 253 miles per hour. The key functions only when the vehicle is at a stop when a checklist then establishes whether the car - and its driver - are ready to enable 'top speed' mode. If all systems are go, the rear spoiler retracts, the front air diffusers close and the ground clearance, normally 4.9 inches, drops to 2.6 inches.

The Veyron uses unique cross-drilled and turbine vented carbon rotors for braking that draw in cooling air. Each caliper has eight titanium pistons. Bugatti claims maximum deceleration of 1.3 g on road tires. Prototypes have been subjected to repeated 1.0 g braking from 194 to 50 mph without fade. With the car's fearsome acceleration from 50 to 194 mph, that test can be performed every 22 seconds. At speeds above 124 mph, the rear wing also acts as an airbrake, snapping to a 70-degree angle in 0.4 seconds once brakes are applied, providing up to 0.6 g of deceleration. Bugatti claims the Veyron will brake from 252 mph to a standstill in less than 10 seconds. The braking is also so evenly applied that the car will not deviate from a straight path if the driver lets go of the steering wheel, even with the brakes fully applied starting from close to top speed.

its a wonderful "toy":thumbsup :thumbsup
