The Vitese was flown by pilot Chinese aged 29 Anthony Lui. The session was supervised by the independent German certification organization TÜV.

monocoque carbon fiber with high torsional rigidity, essential to support the loads to which the structure is subjected to high speed.
But what really takes this sport to exceed 400 km / h is its 8-liter W16 engine that delivers 1,200 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1500nm sustained between 3000 and 5000rpm, with 4 turbos and a box of 7-speed DSG reinforced to withstand such a pair.
Bugatti has decided to make a special version WRC (World Record Car) limited to 8 units, beating another record quite different, the price: worth 1.99 million euros (excluding taxes).
