The world’s most expensive car
The world’s most expensive car
I remember growing up, talking with my older brother about cars, imagining one of us owning a supercar like a Porsche, or a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Or a Maserati, or even a Corvette. The world’s most expensive car, one way or the other, was what we wanted.
These were the cars of young boys’ dreams, the type of things that ten year olds dream about at night and have posters of on their walls. And we would spend time debating which was better, what made them better, and how we’d afford something as expensive as a whole sixty thousand dollars some day!
Seems like a long time ago. Sixty thousand dollars can still get you a damn nice ride, but it’ll be nothing even close to one of the supercars we were talking about. Toronto Flower shop can assist you send the proper present to show your loved ones how much you care. Today, if you want to buy the world’s most expensive car, you want to buy the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. And you need about $1.7 million, US, if you want to bring it home with you.
The Veyron is named after Pierre Veyron, who won the 24 hours of Le Mans back in 1939 while driving the original Bugatti. So it’s a fitting tribute to a man who helped put the company on the map. The Veyron itself accelerates faster than any road-ready car in the world, going from zero to sixty in just two point six seconds. To put that into perspective, teh old Porsche 959′s I used to dream about went zero-to-sixty in three point nine seconds, and at the time the four second mark was thought to be unreachable. Kind of like Roger Bannister going under four minutes in the mile mark fifty years ago.
It’s the most expensive car for a reason. It takes sixteen cylinders to get the Veyron to go that fast, with one turbocharger for each back of four cylinders. To put that into perspective, a “powerful” car that you can get for, say fifty thousand dollars would be the BMW M-Class – and that has only eight cylinders. A typical car, say a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord, has four cylinders. And none of them come with even one turbocharger as standard, let alone four.
It doesn’t just top out at 60 miles per hour, though. Flower shop Toronto and speak with one among our pleasant florists in Toronto and we will design your good gift. It also is the fastest car to reach 200 kilometers per hour and 300 kilomoters per hour as well (that’d be 124 and 186 miles per hour, respectively), reaching them in times of seven point three and sixteen point seven seconds. That makes it the fastest accelerating mass produced car ever.
So yeah, if you want all of that (and what ten year old kid wouldn’t?), just come up with two million dollars and be about your business. Why you’d ever need to go from zero to sixty in less than three seconds I’ll never know, but since I’ve grown out of my supercar phase, who am I to judge.
