Bugatti Veyron 16.4-Most expensive street legal car in the world!
The most expensive street legal car in the world is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. With its W-16 engine, configured with four banks of four cylinders and four turbochargers producing an approximate 1001 horsepower going to all four wheels the power plant gives this car a top speed of over 253 mph (407 khh) of gut wrenching, adrenaline pumping speed. The engine is almost as beautiful as the bodywork and is truly an amazing piece of engineering. The price tag on this beautiful piece of machinery comes in at cool 1.7 million dollars in the base configuration and depending on the individual the interior and exterior can be customized to suit personal taste where colour and interior schemes and finishes are concerned.
The 1.7 million dollar price puts most of us out of the market for these gorgeous cars. A few of the lucky ones that have purchased this automobile are Tom Cruise, Simon Cowell and Ralph Lauren. Yes, this beautiful automobile is out of the reach of most of us, however, we can dream and what lover of automobiles would not want to at least sit in the cockpit of this street rocket with its sumptuous leather and brushed aluminum interior?
The Bugatti badge is one of the oldest brands in the automotive industry and the Veyron does the company proud. Ettore Bugatti, who founded Bugatti in 1909, would be as proud of the Veyron as he was his first production car, the Bugatti T13. The Veyron is sleek, lightweight and continues the heritage and spirit with which the founder began the company. The Veyron's roots are of a racing heritage and I believe that they have fulfilled their obligation to the founder with this exemplary example of the fastest street legal production automobile in the world.
