00:00 We're here at the Bugatti stand of the Los Angeles Auto Show for the North American debut

00:17 of the Bugatti 16.4 Veyron.

00:20 It is without doubt the most exotic and the most expensive Gran Turismo production car

00:27 in the world.

00:28 Now let's talk numbers.

00:29 16, that's the number of cylinders in its 8 liter engine.

00:33 4, that's how many turbochargers it takes just to feed this beast.

00:38 One thousand and one, as in one thousand and one horsepower.

00:43 7, that's gear ratios in the sequential manual gearbox.

00:47 4, or more correctly all, as in all wheel drive.

00:51 2, two passengers only of course for this mid-engine exotic Gran Turismo car.

00:57 And 3, that's just how many seconds it takes to get from 0 to 60 miles an hour.

01:03 252, that's miles an hour, top speed.

01:08 50, as in approximately 50 Veyron per year will be built and distributed throughout the

01:14 world.

01:15 300 is the total number of production they intend for this model.

01:19 I've actually driven this car on the island of Sicily, across the bay from Italy, and

01:24 I have to tell you it's one of the most unbelievable driving experiences I have ever, ever enjoyed.

01:31 It's an amazing piece of engineering and design.

01:35 After driving this car at speeds of 170 to 180 miles an hour, slowing it down to 120

01:42 feels like walking.

01:43 Oh yeah, one more number.

01:46 1.3, as in million dollars it takes to buy one.
