16 cylinders, 1,184bhp, a maximum torque of 1,500Nm, 0 to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds and a world record speed of 431.072 km/h - these are the figures that describe the magic and uniqueness of the ultimate supercar of the modern era. The Bugatti Veyron, limited to 450 units, has caused a sensation across the world ever since its launch ten years ago.

The Alsace-based super sports car manufacturer will be exhibiting the last Veyron with the chassis number 450 at the Geneva Motor Show as a world premiere, alongside the Veyron with chassis number 1 that left the Atelier in Molsheim ten years ago.

The development of the Bugatti Veyron represented one of the greatest technical challenges ever in the automotive industry. The Bugatti developers were given four goals in the specifications for the supercar: it should transfer more than 986bhp onto the road, drive faster than 400km/h, accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in less than three seconds and - the biggest challenge - in this configuration still be suitable for driving 'to the opera' in comfort and style.

In addition to its unequalled technical and dynamic characteristics, the Veyron features a timeless design. The supercar is the modern interpretation of Bugatti's brand values 'Art, Forme, Technique' and its striking lines and details continue the design DNA of the French luxury brand without compromise.
