An incredible auto technology program--Amazing!!!
Remember the $1.7million Bugatti Veyron that ran into the Marsh in Texas? Well there is a program coming up on Mon 4/26 on the development of the Veyron.
The Bugatti Veyron is the brainchild of Ferdinand Piech, who is Ferdinand Porsche's grandson and the CEO of the VW supervisory committee.
Saw this hour long program about a month ago, and I was stunned!! The engineering and development effort behind this car is unbelievable. From the W16
1001hp motor, to the brakes that can haul it down from 235mph, to the amazing hydraulically actuated rear spoiler, this car is too cool!
I realize this is really not Pcar related (except for it's creator), but thought you high performance freaks might enjoy it.
The program is called Man Made and the episode is Bugatti Super Car
