1,000 horsepower. That is the power of the Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron, an output that surpasses all road cars by such a margin that it looks like a misprint. But no, with the aid of four turbochargers, the Veyron's 16-cylinder, eight-liter engine.

The obvious question: Why would anyone build such a car? Surely no one sees doing 250 mph on the highway. There can be no commercial logic behind such a crazy machine, even with the Veyron's price tag of one million euros (at the current exchange rate, that's $1.2 million). Not even as a "halo model" -- a reputation booster -- for the VW group that builds it does the Veyron make sense. No Bugatti owner wants it known he's driving a Volkswagen.


The car was announced as a concept in 1999, the fourth in a series of one-off Bugattis that had been shown by VW since 1998, when the company acquired the rights to the marque. Bugatti is one of the great names in car-making history, but one whose glory days were in the 1930s. Ettore Bugatti, the third engineer in the Veyron story -- though only a ghost in the wings -- was an Italian who set up a factory in France in 1909 to build sports cars. An intuitive, stubborn visionary, he was soon creating some of the greatest machines of his era. To equal their record in top-level European motorsports today, you'd have to combine the output of Ferrari and Porsche. "Nothing is too beautiful, nothing is too expensive," Bugatti said, and that notion drove his designs of luxury high-performance touring cars, such as the Type 57S Atlantic (see photo at bottom). These, not his racecars, are the machines to which VW claims it is now building a successor. Ettore Bugatti died in 1947. Postwar France was no place to be building expensive sports cars, and the company died soon after its founder.
