OMG My new fave
At the moment, the Bugatti Veyron appears to have it all:
A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
A price tag somewhere in the $1 million range.
The transmission is unique, in particular because it has to harness about twice as much torque as any previous sports-car transmission. It has:
Seven gears
A dual clutch system
Sequential shifting
A paddle-driven, computer-controlled shifting system
This computer-controlled system is identical to the sort of system found in a Formula 1 car or a Champ car. There is no clutch pedal or shift lever for the driver to operate -- the computer controls the clutch disks as well as the actual shifting. The computer is able to shift gears in 0.2 seconds.
It also has 4 separate turbochargers, AWD, and can do 0-62 in first gear.
