Even more than 15 years after its launch, the supercar is still setting benchmarks and inspiring emotion and enthusiasm across the globe.īugatti developed a high-performance braking system featuring many unique components in order to control the powerful forces effectively and bring the vehicle to a halt safely and quickly. The Veyron is the first – and the only – supercar to be developed and constructed with a series configuration that can master any driving scenario at any time. The process also drew on the experiences of other industries in which materials and systems are routinely subject to extreme speeds and forces, such as aviation and space travel. Everything had to be developed from scratch in order to achieve the performance specs and then everything had to be implemented in the car. The development of the Veyron was one of the greatest technological challenges ever known in the automotive industry.īarely any parts, components or systems could be taken from existing car concepts and used in the Veyron. Bugatti set the benchmark even higher with the plan of turning the supercar into a luxury road car suitable for everyday use.
