The Expensive Bugatti Veyron Car

As we handed over Passports in exchange for Bugatti ID badges, we caught a glimpse of our car through some trees in the distance. We had arrived. After six months of planning and requests, we were about to get an introduction to the world’s fastest production car.Julius Kruta has been with Bugatti for just on seven years and take it from me, he’s not going anywhere. His title on his business card reads “Leiter Tradition” which I translate as Head of Bugatti tradition.

He’s a mild mannered yet confident guy, about thirty-five years old and while I’m not sure about his cooking, his performance behind the wheel of the Veyron borders on the astonishing!

And if you need to know anything at all about the Veyron or Bugatti the company, I mean down to what colour shoes Ettore Bugatti wore on Wednesdays, ask Julius. He’ll know.

Audi Q7 Hybrid – Overview

One of the most refined and opulent SUVs on the market are Audi Q7. It offers world-class styling, a plush cabin, and amenities galore—not to mention a 280-hp engine that launches the Q7 in a rocket-like fashion. Unfortunately, Audi Q7’s fuel economy is dismal. The average highway EPA rating for the 3.6 liter Audi Q7 is 16 mpg, making Audi Q7 as the largest of all Audis—about as eco-unfriendly as a vehicle can get. Audi is attempting to nullify the green penalty when it releases the hybrid version of the Q7 in late 2008.

Audi’s full hybrid system, developed in partnership with VW and Porsche will utilize the same 3.6-liter powerplant found in the current model. The gas engine-electric motor combination will offer various enhancements over the standard powertrain. The hybrid system will add an extra 50-hp thanks to the electric motor, which will draw its energy from a 288-volt nickel metal hydrid battery pack. That means more torque and more pulling power. The seven-seat Audi Q7 Hybrid is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 8 seconds.

But most hybrid drivers would prefer to emphasize efficiency rather than performance. Official figures have not yet been released, but Audi is promising a 27 percent increase in fuel economy over the conventional Audi Q7—with a similar reduction of tailpipe emissions. Therefore, the Audi Q7 Hybrid is expected to offer combined fuel economy around 21 miles per gallon. This is roughly the same math used by GM on its full-size SUV hybrids, like the Chevy Tahoe, the GMC Yukon, and the Cadillac Escalade. Audi Q7’s mileage falls short of the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mercury Mariner, Toyota Highlander, and Lexus RX 400h.

As a full hybrid, Audi Q7 will operate in one of three driving modes: either solely by gas engine, solely by electric motor, or a combination of the two units during periods of acceleration. For drivers with a steady foot, the vehicle will operate in all-electric mode at speeds up to 30 mph, and for distances ranging up to one mile. At that point, the hybrid system will be call upon the gasoline engine to recharge the batteries.

The pairing of this hybrid system to Audi’s advanced quattro all-wheel-drive system will make Audi Q7 one of the most stylish, capable, all-condition, full-size hybrids on the market. Porsche is likely to introduce its Cayenne Hybrid a year or two after Audi Q7 Hybrid arrives on the scene.

The interiors are spacious, the Configuration is more refined and so is the transmission, overall the handling of the car has improved. The drive train of the vehicle is commendable and the credit for it goes to the 263 horse power V6 Configuration with 3.5L capacity which is in tandem with the six speed auto transmission and also a clutch free manual mode. The power train can be simply defined as smooth and also the automatic gear change complements to the smoothness.

The Configuration definitely shows its power even with 3 passengers in the car and people who always have a houseful on their cars can expect this vehicle to not let them down. The best features in the car are that they come with independent suspensions for the four wheel drive and 18 inch wheels which support this feature beautifully. The CX 9 does not feel very huge at the end of the day and gives the driver a real SUV experience. Only at sharp turns do you feel that the car is actually big and you need to maneuver it more carefully otherwise on most roads you don’t feel it.
