Bugatti has unveiled another special edition of Veyron. Actually, this is the fifth edition part of Bugatti’s “Legends” series. It is based on the super powerful Grand Sport Vitesse and comes with a number of unique styling upgrades.
2014 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse Black Bess is paying tribute to the Type 18 “Black Bess”, which the manufacturer describes as one of the first street-legal super sports cars. The Type 18 “Black Bess” was powered by a 5.0 liter four-cylinder engine with 100HP (73 kW) and achieved a top speed of 161 km/h (100 mph), which was incredible considering the year – 1913.
To be sensational nowadays, you need a really spectacular engine and power like twelve times more than 1913.
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is powered by an 8.0 liter W16 quad-turbo engin – 1200HP (883 kW) and 1500Nm (1106 lb-ft) of torque. The engine is connected to a 7-speed DSG gearbox. 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.1 seconds, 0-300 km/h in 16 seconds. The top speed is 410 km/h (254 mph). ¼ mile is covered in 10.0 seconds flat and 1 mile in just 25.0 seconds. Other interesting disciplines like 0-100-0 km/h take 5.9 seconds and 0-200-0 take 12.9 seconds. The interesting 0-300-0, which is brutal for the brakes take 23.9 seconds.
