Look at that amazing spoiler |
Four enlarged turbochargers and bigger intercoolers have been used to boost the power of the 16-cylinder engine, and the chassis has been extensively redesigned to maintain safety at extreme speed.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport’s flat, elongated silhouette is immediately recognizable. The 16-cylinder engine gets its air from two wine glass shaped ducts integrated into the roof, rather than from scoops above the engine. The front air intakes have been expanded and reshaped.
