VOLKSWAGEN launches 'Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport'

The benchmark for luxury cars in the country has just got higher with Volkswagen Group company Bugatti Automobiles today launching its super premium sports car 'Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport',
with price starting at Rs 16 crore, the most expensive car to hit the Indian roads.

          The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, priced at Rs 16 crore onwards, will be distributed by the company's Indian dealer Exclusive Motors. So far, the most expensive cars in India have been the Rolls Royce Phantom and the Maybach, which are priced around Rs 5 crore.
         However, with the Indian luxury car market growing at about 25 per cent there is an opportunity for such expensive cars.

         "The Bugatti Veyron is four times more expensive than what's being sold in the India. So we are currently testing the customer response," Bagla said, when asked if there has been any order for the car.
He said delivery would take about 6-8 months from the date of order.

          The company claims that the Bugatti Veyron is also the fastest car on production that is allowed to drive on normal roads in the world with a top speed of 407 km/hour with an acceleration of 0-100km/hour in 2.7 seconds.
          The car, which uses components made of special materials like titanium, carbon fibre and magnesium is powered by an 8 litre engine with 16 cylinders and is assembled by hand at Molsheim in France.
