Wheelbase: 2,700 mmTHE MODEL: In the earliest days of motoring, few men could have approached the mechanical genius of Ettore’ Bugatti. His outstanding accomplishments and motoring successes are what legends are built from, and prove that Bugatti was a champion among men. It was in that same train of thought that Ferdinand Piech, himself a former engineer who had worked his way up to Chairman of the Volkswagen Group, a man with experience in the design of super-performance vehicles such as the Porsche 917 and Audi Quattro, that he decided to pursue the Bugatti legacy by purchasing the name and copyrights to this historic brand in 1998. He then directed his design and engineer teams to create a car that would honor the man behind the name with cutting technologies. His dictates were simple, the engine must produce at least 1000 HP and be capable of speeds up to 250 miles per hour or 400 KMH. Oh yes, this was to be a road car so it had to be safety and emissions compliant. In just two years the impossible was done and the Veyron prototype was born.
