Or Pagani Zonda with its 620 hp, 0 to 100 km / h - 3.5 seconds and the "top speed" of 350 km / h It seems that the answer is obvious, but let's see.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 - the most expensive, most powerful and fastest car in the world, allowed for use on public roads. Launched in subsidiary Volkswagen AG - Bugatti Automobiles S. AS, a unique car is sold under the brand name of the legendary Bugatti, and his name shall Pierre Veyron (Pierre Veyron), has won the race on the Bugatti 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1939.
History of the supercar began with a demonstration at the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show concept car EB 18/3 «Chiron» with a 6.3-liter 555-horsepower engine, built by the formula W18 with three blocks of 6 cylinders. Design Concept designed by the Italian Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign studio (Giorgetto Giugiaro).
The first attempt was far from ideal sports supercar, which wanted to see the Bugatti VW chairman Ferdinand Peha (Ferdinand Karl Piech). The car was relatively weak, cumbersome engine, and appearance was more luxurious than sporty.

At the Geneva Motor Show 2001 at the stand of Bugatti Automobiles S. A.S. has been exposed already pre-production with a new name Bugatti EB 16/4 Veyron. The car not only changed his name was new almost everything, from the engine, which consists of two V-shaped blocks of eight cylinders (four blocks, 4 cylinder in each) and up to exciting sporting body, fully developed by Volkswagen Helmut Varkusom (Hartmut Warkuss ).Serial production of the new model has been scheduled for 2003, but a number of circumstances significantly changed the terms. Ferdinand Peha as chairman of the Volkswagen Group was replaced by Bernd Pischetsrieder (Bernd Pischetsrieder), and in December 2003.Bugatti president Thomas became Bsher (Thomas Bscher), replacing Karl-Heinz Neumann. Despite the personnel changes, the work on the project did not stop, and in September 2005 the gates of the newly built factory in Molskhayme, an old family nest Bugatti came first production Bugatti Veyron 16.4.

Vehicle, the total amount of the issue will not exceed 300 copies, worth one million euros and has the following characteristics: W16 engine with four turbochargers is 7993 cm3. Gas distribution device consists of a cam 4 and a valve 64. Engine power variously estimated at from 1020 - 1040 hp (VW) to 1006 - 1026 hp (SAE). To avoid misunderstandings, Bugatti Automobiles S. A.S. announced the engine power to 1001 horsepower. The maximum torque of 1250 Nm and a dual-clutch transmission and Haldex coupling is transmitted to all four wheels. Transmission, installed in the vehicle - the seven-speed, paddle-shift levers are made. The transition for each subsequent transfer takes 0.2 seconds.Maximum speed Bugatti Veyron, set during official testing at the track Ehra-Lessien reached 407 kilometers per hour acceleration time to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds, to 200 km / h - 7.3, and 300 - 16, 7 seconds.These advances make the Bugatti Veyron is not only the fastest car, but also the most dynamic production car in history. It also has the highest fuel consumption, consuming full throttle 125 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual consumption in the urban cycle is 40.4 liters, combined - 24.1, and on the highway - 14.7 liters per 100 kilometers.

Limiting speed for everyday use is 377 kilometers per hour. When the vehicle reaches the mark of 220 km / h hydraulics lower the car until the clearance of 8.9 cm and at the same time from the back of the wing is raised, providing the necessary downforce. In order to develop the maximum speed, the driver with a special key is to activate speed mode of motion, which, incidentally, is limited electronically to 407 km / h in order to avoid premature tire wear.At the Bugatti Veyron are unique uglekeramicheskie ventilated brake discs and calipers vosmiporshnevye. At speeds above 200 km / h, braking, activated wing, acting as an aerodynamic brake. Time to turn the wing angle of 70 degrees is 0.4 seconds after the start of braking. The time it takes the car racing with a top speed for the full stop is 10 seconds, the Bugatti Veyron does not move during braking from the straight path, even if the driver releases the steering wheel.

Pagani Zonda Roadster F

Featured in Geneva Pagani Zonda Roadster F claims to be "the world's fastest car without a roof." Speed, spontaneous and man-made, laid in the name of a supercar, reminiscent of the wind from the Andes and one of the best riders, "Formula 1".

Juan Manuel Fangio holds second place after Michael Schumacher in the number of titles in the "Formula 1". The Argentine, at 11 years old became an assistant mechanic from 1951 to 1957, five times voted the best tracks on the Formula. Reach the finish first helped him not only the driver's skill, but also an excellent understanding of the machine, the engineering talent.Fangio of the new Pagani Zonda Roadster F has got a letter in the name. In 1977, Fangio drew attention to the very successful racing car, "Formula 3", built by Horacio Pagani, who at the time was not yet 20 years old. Racer and designer became friends and in 1988 decided to start manufacturing its own supercar. By the time Pagani has had extensive experience in the Lamborghini, which came in 1983.

As it hit the boy who did not know at the renowned Italian company and what he's doing, right now it is difficult to understand - since coming to Europe Pagani cluttered life legends.More art suggests that Pagani lived with his young wife in a tent on the Lamborghini involved in cleaning and, desperate to take a hand in the construction of famous cars left. Leaving the office of the chief engineer of the company Giulio Alfieri, Pagani allegedly threw ice, beautiful and logical from the point of view of future career, but questionable from the point of view of historical accuracy: "I'm leaving, but remember what I came here to build the best supercars in the world." 

Soon after the cotton door Pagani began to fulfill small orders for the design and manufacture of parts made of composite materials for a variety of local factories and saved money on its own autoclave for "baking" carbon. With him and started a company Modena Design, ensured further capital to create Pagani Zonda.According to another version, more prosaic, the key to Pagani, Lamborghini lying in your pocket in the form of a letter from Fangio. For engineering works Argentine caught immediately, but after a few years he was promoted to Head of composite materials. That allowed the Argentine salary of the head to open his own firm, which, by the way, is still "bake" carbon fiber components for the Lamborghini, as well as for Ferrari, Renault and motorcycles Aprilia.

Be that as it may, their cars Pagani wanted to call Fangio. However Fangio died in 1995, and his partner, by his own admission, did not dare to name the rider without his personal consent.Because in 1998, a new rival Ferrari and Lamborghini was shown at the Geneva Motor Show, called Zonda - as in Argentina called the wind blowing on the eastern slopes of the Andes.However, a reminder of the Fangio is present not only in Pagani Zonda F: each "probe" drives the engine Mercedes. Requested by the driver, who considered himself a "man of Mercedes».

Mersedesovsky engine, modified court tyuningerom German company AMG, installed and Pagani Zonda F. 12-cylinder naturally aspirated unit is placed longitudinally behind the cabin. The working volume of 7.3 liters capacity gives 602 liters. s. (In the basic version), the crankshaft is able to "unwind" to 7 thousand rpm. The car, which many have started as a joke compared to Honda (Zonda - Honda), with an impressive ratio of power - the mass.By weight, Pagani Zonda is comparable to the "charged» Honda Civic Type-R (about 1,250 kg), but has three times more power.When compared to a direct competitor, Ferarri Enzo, is a version of the Clubsport (650 hp.). Ton "probe" has 521 liters. s. have "Enzo" which approximately twice as much, the ratio is 483 liters. a / t. Acceleration to 100 km / h in 3.6 seconds supercar, "top speed" - at 350 km / h.

The superiority of the Zonda F Enzo officially registered the magazine Top Gear: the road test site "Stig" was half a second faster Maserati MC12 and 0.6 seconds ahead of Ferrari Enzo, a new record.Like the coupe, the roadster is a carboxylic "bath" which are attached to the subframes of chrome-molybdenum steel. Made of carbon fiber and body panels. You can leave them unpainted (just this roadster appeared before the visitors Geneva Motor Show) - thanks to a special carbon fiber pattern, at the same time on a similar fabric and wood, is even more pronounced "man-made" origin supercar. It really is picked by hand, not only on his own measure: a client shoot dimensions, which are then used in the manufacture of chairs, pedal and steering unit.

Beauty supercar - a compromise between the ponderous oak and leather "office", "Jaguar" or the "Rolls-Royce" and the austere cockpits Italian brothers in the class.The instrument panel is similar to the work of Swiss watchmakers, center console with a "flying" painted logo and tumbler switches reminiscent of old radiogram.

To the splendor of red leather, aluminum and carbon fiber could admire the surrounding, the roof will have to remove by hand, but she only weighs about six pounds, and its sides are made from natural canvas - by design body Zonda Roadster F closer to the "Targ" than the classic roadster.The cost of the Roadster - from $ 650 thousand a lot, but, as one magazine wrote, "the new Pagani Zonda F is able to bring tears to many owners of Ferrari Enzo, when they realize that we chose the wrong Italian supercar." In addition, the price includes the exclusivity for which some are willing to pay two to three times more commonly draw any model Pagani does not exceed double digits.
