Written with the full support of Bugatti
In 2005, Bugatti launched a car that single-handedly redefined the notion of a `supercar'
It was called the Veyron and was a feat of engineering grandiosity that, in automotive terms, rivalled the achievements of the great nineteenth-century industrialists.
Bestselling author Martin Roach sets out to track down the mythical beast that is a Bugatti Veyron — and ultimately attempts to drive one. He travels across Europe to trace the genesis of this remarkable machine by interviewing famous engineers, super-rich owners and automotive presidents, as well as a host of other expert eye-witnesses to this unique car's many achievements.
Part history, part personal obsession, part travelogue, part humorous quest: in pondering this mechanical whirlwind, Roach has written a page-turning study of a modem masterpiece.
