World's Fastest Cars 2010

With output bumped up from 1,001 to 1,200 horsepower, torque swelling to 1,106 pound-feet and a revised aerodynamic kit, Raphanel managed runs of 427.933 km/h (265.905 mph) and 434.211 km/h (269.806 mph) for an average terminal velocity of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) and a new world record for a production car. The first five production Super Sports will sport the same black and orange finish as the record car and all production models will be electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres. The Veyron Super Sports will be publicly shown for the first time at the Pebble Beach in August.
The transmission is a dual-clutch direct-shift gearbox computer-controlled automatic with seven gear ratios, with magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel and a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds, by Ricardo of England rather than Borg-Warner, who designed the six speed DSG used in the mainstream Volkswagen Group marques. The Veyron can be driven in either semi- or fully-automatic mode. A replacement transmission for the Veyron costs just over $120,000. It also has permanent four wheel drive using the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin PAX run flat tyres, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron's top speed, which reportedly cost $25,000 US per set. The tyres can only be removed from the rims in France, a service which reportedly costs $70,000. Kerb weight is 2,034.8 kilograms (4,486 lb). This gives the car a power to weight ratio, according to Volkswagen Group's 1,001 brake horsepower (746 kW; 1,015 PS) figures, of 446.3 bhp per ton. The car's wheelbase is 2,710 mm (106.7 in). Overall length is 4,462 mm (175.7 in), width 1,998 mm (78.7 in) and height 1,204 mm (47.4 in).
