Bugatti Veyron Pegaso Edition

[my porsche]

I didn't even notice that. OMFG I want that as my license plate to read "1"

[chris98891]

haha you gotta wonder how he managed that...i guess if you got the money to buy that car, you got the money to buy that plate out

[Eurocar]

omg its hideous. If you're gonna screw up a Veyron at least screw it up with a sense of pride and dignity. Lime green and purple would have been the way to go...

[Zorlox]

from everything i've seen, its 1001 ps which is about 987 hp. the logo on the door looks stupid.

From e46fanatics.com via autoblog (from user Zeyad):

and with regard to the thing about license plates...having a lower number does not necessarily make you "closer to sheikh mohammed" it's a bit more complicated than that. you can buy 2 digit plates...but not single digit plates. those all belong to sheikhs. the owner of this veyron, however, is an exception...he apparently offered 55 million dirhams for the plates C 1 - 12 to all the emirates, and the only emirate which accepted the offer was fujairah. hence the plate fujairah, C 1. and he is not a sheikh...he is a wealthy russian man who lives in burj al arab (the 7 star hotel) and has - in my opinion - the best car collection on earth.

Snap.

Koenigsegg CCX > that crap

Does this mean that Bugatti plans to revive the Pegaso brand in the future??

Most likely, not. VW can't make any profits on it, so bringing in even more features for it would worsen the deal.

They all have those wheels


The engine produces an advertised 1001 horsepower, but in reality makes around 1100. They advertised 1001 because it sounds better to some people, and they made 1100 just to cover their shit incase someone from the press decided to dyno the car.

1100+100=FAIL

Finally was about to say that, i'm scrolling through all these posts by people who are being such smart A$$es about it and fail to realise that coming out of the factory the cars are producing realistically between 1070-1100 hp..So how's that for a fail...

So many haters...where's the love?

Like others say, i thought it was about 987 hp never over 1000.

I love the veyron, but stating numbers from looking at a car just becouse it has a different logo on the side is strange. still i noticed a different venturi or is it like the "original"?

[Ferrer]

Don't worry chaps, there's another FAIL.

Pegaso comes from the name of a Spanish coachbuilder that worked with Alfa Romeo and Ferrari during the 1950's. Pegaso used to build luxury cars.

They couldn't be more wrong on this. Pegaso wasn't a coahcbuilder, it was a truck and (briefly) sportscar maker. They didn't work with Alfa Romeo or Ferrari (or anyone for that matter) in the 50's, Wifredo Ricart chief of the Pegaso project did work in Alfa Romeo together with Enzo Ferrari in the 30's.

Furthermore I want to vomit on who decided to use the Pegaso name for such an awful car.

( 1000 + 100 = 1200 ) = FAIL

reminds of the fool that insisted veyronzz had 3000hp.

such a JC comment!

I don't remember where I read it, but someone interviewed one of the engineers for the engine and the guy said that 987 horsepower is the power it will make in cold/high altitude environments. But it will make closer to 1100 in warmer/lower altitude environments.

odd since fuel density increases for lower temperatures.

[Turbo.Jenkens]

odd since fuel density increases for lower temperatures.

Even though this is a turbocharged engine, I'm sure the difference can be accounted for by the change in air density associated with change in altitude.

Air density is much more important than fuel density when it comes to producing power.

Who is "they"?
