Bugatti Veyron Vitesse WRC Limited Edition
Under the hood, the new WRC edition keeps the same engine as the standard version: 7.9-liter 16-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 pound-foot torque.
The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and according to the new record it can hit a high speed of 408.84 km / h (254.04 mph).
Prices
The new Bugatti Veyron Speed WRC Limited Edition will be limited to only eight units. It will be priced at € 1.99 million (or $ 2.6 million at the current exchange rates). The WRC Limited edition will make its first world in Shanghai on April 21st.
Competition
Bugatti Veyron Speed WRC Limited Edition is a model with no direct competition, thanks to its monstrous power and limited status. However, if you want a very powerful roadster, there are some other alternatives in the world.
The Aventador is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine with an AWD layout that produces 700 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 509 pound-foot torque at 5,500 rpm. The Italian supercar will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in about 3 seconds and can hit a high speed of 217 mph. It's true, this is not as impressive as the Veyron, but the Aventador is a bargain relative at "only" $ 445,300.
The new Bugatti Veyron Speed WRC Limited Edition is a great way to celebrate the company's latest record, but it does not bring anything above the standard model, and we believe this spicy price is a little bit too much for it. We will bring you more details once it's debuts in Shanghai.
A few days ago, Bugatti dropped a teaser image of what we thought would be the company's long-rumored 1,600-horsepower Bugatti SuperVeyron. However, it looks like the teaser image was in fact for a special Veyron Speed WRC Limited Edition built to celebrate the company's latest record.
In Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Speed with Chinese racing driver Anthony Liu behind the wheel scored a new record for the company: it managed to hit a high speed of 254.04 mph. The result was achieved at the Volkswagen Group's proving grounds in Ehra-Lessien and was officially confirmed by the German Organization for Technical Inspection and Certification TÜV.
The special edition Veyron Speed WRC will be limited to only eight units and will be priced at € 1.99 million (or $ 2.6 million at the current exchange rates)
