Visitors to the Atelier in Molsheim are always intrigued to see the Bugatti Veyron high-tech components are carefully assembled a work of art automotive industry. By the car together with an admiration for the technical beauty of its structure, the designers have the idea that the end of the car in the hardware configuration pure - that is, not the color of the coating. The result is the EB 16 / 4. Veyron “Pur Sang”, a study in two tones of pure materialness show the car is really important: carbon and aluminum.

The carbon monocoque holds the engine and the passenger cell, the plates made of polished aluminum is replaced by reflections in the body of the sculptor. It is interesting that the gross materials further emphasizes the dual nature of the car: the performance with the performance, which is the structure and body, dark and light.
A closer look shows the technical details of the logic behind this style appearance. The sophisticated monocoque contains all the database components, including the W16 engine, passenger cell, crash box and the linkages with the wheels. He focuses on this fundamental objective is visible as the center of the car clear coated carbon fiber.
Also, the continuous use of aluminum plates. This ensures a uniform shape and body of the sculpture to the car where the wheels of a strong expression of muscle and wing in the form of luxury. Very polite, these highly visible tense all the fascinating surface reflections that the Veyron.
The graphical representation also be looking down on the car from above. These properties make a presentation - a bit like the one found in a table Mondrian. As the Thoroughbred label from the car to client the same DNA as the classic cars of Bugatti past: the “Atalante”, Type 55, Type 41 “Royal” has a unique character and signature graphics. It is precisely this division for the performance of the components of traffic signs and body - in this form - the EB 16 / 4. Veyron “Pur Sang” unique in the world super car.

6. 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Chevrolet has officially announced that in 2009 Corvette ZR1 - an American supercar brings technology and engineering refinement Carbon fibers, ceramics and electronics in a design.
“Chevrolet’s goal with the new ZR1 is to show what a super car to the United States can provide, at a price that will win the exotic cost two, three or four times - with an exceptional leadership,” said Ed Peper, General Manager of Chevrolet.
“The preliminary tests show the ZR1 builds on the highly respected Corvette Z06 in every performance category, acceleration and braking, the liability in the curves and speed,” said Peper. “It is the energy weight and ZR1 is excellent - better than the Porsche 911 GT2, Ferrari 599 and Lamborghini LP640. In fact, the ZR1 will be the first production Corvette to achieve a speed of at least 200 mph
LS9 motor engines
The new LS9 6.2L small block engine is the engine of the ZR1 promotes efficiency. The catalyst of the LS9’s performance or elegance is a large positive Roots-type compressor with a new, four-lobe rotor design. There is a charge, the temperature of the intake air to the performance.
A sixth-generation Eaton Intercooler developed by LS9, the big power and torque at low speeds and in a broad arc at 6600 rpm, as there is enough air to help the performance of the engine from the higher levels of the band U / min — the area in which improved performance tends to fall. Rugged and light, leading to an alternative movement of the components of the engine confidence high rpm.
LS9 engine will be replaced by a new, more consistent with six-speed transmission with manual and two CD-clutch, the extraordinary power cable, with a pressure of clutch easy. ZR1 gears of the gearbox makes a strong first speed of the car and the maximum speed is reached later in the sixth gear - a change of the fifth gear broadband run-outs in the manual for the transmission of the Corvette and Corvette Z06.
Ride and conveyor
The ZR1 is the chassis made of aluminum with high intensity as the Corvette Z06 and similar independent SLA front and rear independent suspension, with aluminum top and bottom of the poor. When the ZR1 other adjustment of the suspension, which has been optimized for the car of the roller on the front and back.
Magnetic Selective Ride Control is standard and provides for the ZR1. The ability of the system, a round with almost immediate depreciation adjustments with the engineers had a role as a super-amazingly flexible in car that is always on, the liability in curves more than 1g.
Exclusive Inside
The ZR1 is recognizable, with perhaps see one thing, the carbon hood, which provides a clear framework, windows made of polycarbonate. The window provides an overview of the top motor retailer, with the inscription “LS9 Supercharged”, on the left and right, and the Corvette logo bonnet hohl by the flags in front.
Under the hood is carbon fiber weaving. Exposed carbon fiber is on the roof, the roof of the arch, rocker moldings and front splitter. The external components are connected by a special glossy, UV coating to resist yellowing and wear.
Advanced carbonfibre with wings in front, with two openings, and a full width color car rear spoiler integrated high-mount stop lamps of, are also responsible for the ZR1. All properties that are outside of the car were to improve the stability at high speed and control of the driver.
Interior details
The ZR1 within the brand to double cockpit of the cultural heritage with the best quality materials, crafts and functions which the premium quality experience promised by the performance of the car. The “base” ZR1 (RPO 1LZ) comes with the equipment on the Z06, including lightweight seats and content Transporter. The offer includes uplevel interior, power adjustable leather garni and sport seats (embroidered with the ZR1 logo), the habit sleeved leather interior in four colors, the navigation system, Bluetooth and much more.
