Dato' Mokhzani Mahathir 2nd person to own this??

The Veyron features a 16 cylinder engine, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a W configuration. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of sixty four, but the narrow staggered V8 configuration allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four bi-turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 by 86 mm (3.4 by 3.4 in) bore and stroke. The transmission is a dual-clutch direct-shift gearbox computer-controlled automatic with seven gear ratios, with magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel and a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds, built by Ricardo of England rather than Borg-Warner, who designed the six speed DSG used in the mainstream Volkswagen Group marques. The Veyron can be driven in either semi- or fully automatic mode. A replacement transmission for the Veyron costs just over €120,000. It also has permanent four wheel drive using the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin PAX run flat tires, designed specifically to accommodate the Veyron's top speed, which reportedly cost €25,000 per set.[8] The tyres can be removed from the rims only in France, a service which reportedly costs €70,000. Curb weight is 2,034.8 kilograms (4,486 lb).[8] This gives the car a power to weight ratio, according to Volkswagen Group's 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) figures, of 446.3 metric horsepower (328 kW; 440 bhp) per ton. The car's wheelbase is 2,710 mm (106.7 in). Overall length is 4,462 mm (175.7 in), width 1,998 mm (78.7 in) and height 1,204 mm (47.4 in). A Veyron pictured with its hydraulic rear spoiler in the extended position The Bugatti Veyron has a total of ten radiators.[9] 3 heat exchangers for the air-to-liquid intercoolers. 3 engine radiators. 1 for the air conditioning system. 1 transmission oil radiator. 1 differential oil radiator. 1 engine oil radiator. It has a drag coefficient of 0.41 (normal condition) and 0.36 (after lowering to the ground),[10] and a frontal area of 2.07 square metres (22.3 sq ft).[11] This gives it a drag area – the combination of drag coefficient and frontal area, represented as CdA – of 0.74 m2 (8.0 sq ft). [edit]Engine output According to Volkswagen Group and certified by TÜV Süddeutschland, the final production Veyron engine produces 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) of motive power, and generates 1,250 newton metres (922 ft·lbf) of torque.[1][12] The nominal figure has been stated by Bugatti officials to be conservative, with the real total being 1,020 metric horsepower (750 kW; 1,006 bhp) or more.[8] - OK its my bad. My earlier comment based what im hear in Top Gear stated the car has twin W Engine. Cheers -

Remember the late Sultan Kelantan being held cause trying to escape custom taxes for Lamborghini Diablo at Subang Airport...early 90s story. Bet you already know many Malaysia Sultan is less fortunate, poorer and less power than some Malaysia political figure and business magnate. If thinking hard easily can drag your emotion but as Malaysia we always taking what been written as a joke so we can still redeem our self and have a bit still insanity. -

Now the aircond really sejuk...other part faulty maybe not an issue. The China/Japan gas is true kot sebab dia tunjuk the box and label but now i remember not ask to see the tank cos the tank is inside paper box. The technician insisted the gas already full and showing the gauge at 400 and hat is full level. I go this shop near to 19 Mall USJ.

Today i snake out to check my car aircond system since already two days no aircond at all. After checking the technician confirm the a/c gas is empty. He recommend to use Japan gas at RM 100 and saying if China gas its only RM 60 but China not recommend he say ( showing me the tank but why you use it? ). Cannot think much i just say ok. Once he fill it after 20-30 seconds he stop. Bos ..sudah penuh ka. Ya ini sekejap saja compressor sudah tarik. ??? why before this to my other car its taking more than 10 mins. So Japanese fart is really expensive than China fart?? and Japanese fart is shorter but much more expensive?? Kalau nak masak, gas masak Petronas dgn gas Mobil pun masak lain-lain ke..? Pening2.
