The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport; Bugatti has released dozens of special editions of its iconic super car over the past few years. The old model originally smashed all the speed records for production cars, but recently has been overtaken by a few lightweight hyper-cars. Perhaps that is why Bugatti decided to strip 300kg of weight out of the original by replacing the majority of the bodywork with carbon fibre. The Veyron Super Sport features an engine power increase from the standard 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) to 1,200 metric horsepower (883 kW; and torque of 1,500 N·m and a revised aerodynamic package. It was shown publicly for the first time at the “Pebble Beach Automotive Week” in August 2010.
