When talking about fast cars all that comes to one’s mind is the engine and the horsepower. Gone are the days where fancy cars ruled the streets. This is the era of speed records, fastest lap times and also the roar of the engines. The thing is that the engineers of this era tend to give us things beyond our dreams. This has lead to some serious competitions in the companies as the market of the cars is the main target for them. For differentiating their cars from the normal sport cars manufacturers have started the production of super cars.

This line of cars is the company’s pinnacle products. From the engine to the aerodynamics companies try to excel and present a road legend for the market. But it is not that easy because the market is not a kindergarten’s playground. The market of super cars is reserved for ultra high tech, state of the art vehicles.
And especially the main thing about a great super car is that it is as exclusive as any thing. Lastly is the grace which comes from the company’s designing labs. Speed without looks is Ok to go with but the impact on the market would be greatly decreased.
In the car world there roams one car proudly standing up to the challenge and that car sprouts its roots from the great car producer the Buggati. Buggati has been quite a confident manufacturer and has served through the entire years well. Recently Buggati joined hands with Volkswagen and wanted to create something out of that confidence. It was proven that when a lot of car enthusiastic engineers meet up they end up with a piece of car so great that one can’t take his eyes off it. Buggati released the Buggati Veyron as the greatest super car on the planet. Breaking the legal car speed record the Veyron created mayhem in the market. At first it also went off as the most expensive car of the world.
After all that success Buggati did not stop at all. The Buggati Veyron released in 2005 started to have further plans. From year 2007 onwards Buggati released exclusive variants of the car. And there we have it. The latest variant of the Buggati Veyron 16.4 was released in August 2009. Buggati had always been quite choosy in getting a name for their cars. So the new Buggati 16.4 will be called Veyron Sang Bleu.
Upon its release I was shocked to see the car and really got startled for a few minutes. I forcefully had to look away to avoid any further bonding.
The looks alone are enough to knock you out. Instead of using paints to distinguish the body panels the Buggati Veyron Sang Bleu has been given its looks using carbon fiber and aluminum mostly. This combination packs a deadly punch to the gloss paint or metallic paint users and we also can say:” Plain paint is so old school!” The color combination of the first Sang Bleu was revealed to be blue on the carbon fiber and the outer panels made entirely of polished aluminum. This aluminum can be regarded as one of the best available in the market and the look it delivers has the license to kill.
The rims have been inspired and take their roots from the Veyron Grand Sport Roadster. The rims also have been done in a perfect shade comprising of a really great black and diamond chrome. The interior has been done in Gaucho Leather, which blends completely with the exterior giving an elegant and harmonious appearance.
The performance has been inherited by the Veyron Grand Sport and still is driven by the 16 cylinder mid engine. This engine designed to be two V8s joined together in a W configuration make up and produce an output of 1001 HP. With a top speed of over 400 km/h the Buggati Veyron is your true license to bully other supercars. So as always we are left stunned by the great Buggati Veyron and I hope that someday we also get to ride in that car. Amen!
