If you are looking for a car that has the top horsepower, speed, acceleration, and price, the 2007 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron is definitely what you are looking for. Right now this amazing car appears to meet all of these qualifications all by itself. Bugatti provides the top horsepower, with a 16 cylinder engine that pumps out up to 1001 horse power, and the speed of the car tops out at a whopping 250 mph. In only 3 short seconds this car will go from 0-60, and the price tag, an amazing $1.2 million definitely reflects that this car is at the top of its' class.

While it may seem impossible to actually get that much power into a passenger car, Bugatti managed to do so by adding turbo chargers to the mix. In fact, this engine actually sports four separate turbo chargers that boost up the horse power the engine puts out. Essentially, this 16 cylinder engine is two V8 engines that have been combined and turbo charged. There are a total of 64 valves in this engine, with four valves for every single cylinder. As you can imagine, this engine uses up the gasoline quite quickly, to the tune of more than one gallon of gas each minute.

To deal with the amazing amount of horse power that the 2007 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron puts out, it was important that it have a great transmission. This transmission is a seven gear transmission that has more torque than almost any other sports car. It features a dual clutch system and also has sequential shifting. A special computer actually controls the shifting, and the system that you will find in this car comes pretty close to the type of system you will find in a Formula 1 car.

Since there is so much torque, a two wheel drive system was pretty much impossible, so the car features a four wheel drive system, putting out power to all four of the wheels. A special traction control system helps to control the power as it is sent to each of the wheels on the car. Of course the tires for the car as special made as well, since they have to be able to deal with the friction and wear and tear of going more than 200 miles per hour.

The 2007 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron has a special sleek design that is meant to keep it on the road while it is traveling at such high speeds. The small size of the car helps, with it being only 176 inches in length and 79 inches wide. As you may notice, the car is quite wide for the small length of the car, which helps hold it to the road. When you reach high speeds in this car, a special wing or spoiler automatically extends to help keep the car glued to the road as well. While the car is made to be as light as possible, with special carbon fiber, it still weighs in at about 4300 pounds, which makes it about four times as heavy as a Dodge Viper.

Not only does it have amazing speed and power, but it also boasts a luxurious interior as well that seats two people. Just about the entire interior of the car is done in beautiful leather, including the dash, doors, floor, and even the sides of the interior. There are also a few metallic touches to the car as well. You can find all of modern technology in the Bugatti Veyron, such as a navigation system, and a state of the art stereo system. So, as you can see, not only does this car have it all when it comes to speed, but you get to have that high speed drive in luxury as well.

While this car first started out as a concept car, now it is in production and you can own one. It is hailed as the fastest street car out there; however, the price prevents many people from experiencing the speed and thrill it has to offer. For someone who wants the combination of amazing power, speed, and of course luxury, this car definitely has it all. In just over 10 seconds the 2007 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron can do the quarter mile, but of course you are going to pay for this type of speed and fun.

Volkswagen Golf Blown Idol

 

By Andy Enright

HISTORY

Few who attended Volkswagen's stand at the 1975 Frankfurt Motor Show would have any inkling of the significance that the Golf Sport study would eventually have. Sold in Germany as the GTI in 1976, Volkswagen UK began importing it in left hand drive guise in 1977. It was still a very basic car, with metal bumpers and an interior that was extremely stark. Volkswagen's idea of a refinement was a push button radio with one speaker. Nobody really caught on to the genius behind the car until 1979 when right hand drive versions became available.

Fast forward a quarter of a century and we have a very different proposition. 112bhp has swelled to 197bhp and, even more tellingly, weight has gone up enormously. It's illuminating to look at how the power- to-weight ratios have altered across the generations with the MkV managing 150bhp per ton, compared with 110bhp per ton for the MkIV and 133bhp per ton for the final 1.8-litre version of the MKI GTI. The fact that the MkV is the quickest and most able GTI to date underscores the public perception that Volkswagen had once again got serious about making the GTI the car the rest had to beat. The Golf Estate showed up in the summer of 2007. The MkVI Golf, basically an updated version of the MkV, arrived in 2009.

WHAT YOU GET

The MkV GTI offers a real premium car look and feel, not surprising when you consider the cost from new. Volkswagen created a rather tantalising website that showed what colours and options you can choose for your GTI and when I'd finished specifying my rather natty example, the bill at the end came to over £25,000. That's some serious money but at least the GTI can back that up with a class-leading chassis and an engine that really delivers the performance goods. A full-length honeycomb grille, 17-inch alloy wheels, a roof spoiler and GTI badging differentiate this car from its humbler brethren. The black grille surround also looks less like an oversized Honda badge than the metallic finishes worn by other Golfs.

The interior kept the Golf at the top of the family hatch tree. It uses a fascia design reminiscent of the Phaeton luxury saloon although the centre console is lifted from the Touran mini-MPV. With the possible exception of its pricier Volkswagen Group cousin, the Audi A3, the cabin has the beating of any hatchback out there as regards ambience. The interior features soft-feel slush-moulded plastics, subtle use of chrome, fabric-covered A-pillars plus blue instrument backlighting with red needles, a signature of the fourth generation model. Some of the lower dash plastics and minor switches feel a little cheap but when balanced against the huge improvements in interior space, it's not too big a price to pay. The MKV Golf also set new standards by introducing 2Zone climate control and four-way lumbar support within the line-up. In addition, ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme), no fewer than six airbags as well as anti-lock brakes are fitted as standard. Big car features such as automatic activation of headlamps and wipers are built into the car's electronics.

WHAT YOU PAY

The £500 difference from new between three-door and five-door GTI models has now been largely absorbed by the used markets so both three and five-door variants cost much the same. Opening price for a typically average mileage GTI on a 54 plate is around £15,000 with some higher mileage cars (not uncommon for a model that has been popular with fleet car user/choosers) coming in at just over £14,000. Insurance for the GTI doesn't come cheap, the car being rated at Group 17.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Only one real issue has yet arisen and that's an oil pump bolt fault on early GTIs that has now been fixed under recall. Other than that, there's little to report. Keep a look out for cars that have been flogged by corporate users and ensure that servicing has been attended to diligently. Otherwise the MkV GTI has a strong reputation for reliability. If the car has been equipped with the optional DSG paddle-shift gearchange, check that all ratios engage smoothly and cleanly, especially reverse. DSG problems are a very costly fix.

Corrosion is rare on a Golf, which speaks volumes for Volkswagen's rustproofing methods and the quality of the steel it uses. A GTI with rust should scream "badly repaired accident damage" at you. Steer well clear, as a warped chassis will likely have caused misaligned panels and the subsequent corrosion. As strong as the Golf's allure is, it's also worth checking out related Skoda Octavia and SEAT Leon models which may offer better value for a given budget. Don't stretch to a tired GTI over these cars as they're also very talented.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

(approx based on a 2004 Golf 2.0TFSI GTI ex Vat) A clutch assembly will be around £145 and an alternator should be close to £195. Brake pads front and rear are about £65 and £55 respectively.

ON THE ROAD

The sole powerplant on offer is no asthmatic wheezer. The engine powering the GTI is a turbocharged version of VW's 2.0-litre FSI petrol engine, fettled to produce a hefty 200PS - around 197bhp in old money. Drive is directed to the front wheels in classic GTI style, and there's a six-speed manual as standard or the excellent DSG twin-clutch transmission available as an option.

Owners can expect to accomplish the sprint to 60mph in around 6.5 seconds in a DSG-equipped car and look forward to a top speed that knocks on the door of 150mph. A combined fuel economy figure of around 36mpg means that the Golf won't cost a fortune to run either. It's not noticeably cheap to buy used, however, although residuals look set to remain healthy for the foreseeable future.

The DSG ‘box is a real piece of work. First seen in the Audi TT 3.2 V6 coupe, it's based around a sequential manual transmission but utilises an ingenious twin clutch system to ensure creamy smoothness. Engage first gear and the gearbox will pre-engage second gear in advance, the second clutch engaging as soon as you flick up to slot instantly into second gear. This means a seamless flow of power. The electronics predict what gear you're about to engage, depending on whether you're accelerating or braking and the result is astonishing, making every other gearbox feel distinctly clunky. The other option is to slip it into ‘D' and drive it like a normal automatic. Even in this mode it's butter smooth and makes other attempts at sequential manual systems such as Ferrari's F1 and BMW's SMG appear decidedly yester-tech.

The GTI's engine is special too. Fuel Stratified Injection is a system that promises the twin benefits of more power and better economy. A high-pressure fuel line mounted on the side of the cylinder head, often dubbed the ‘common rail', injects fuel straight into the combustion chamber. The shape of the pistons and the clever working of a set of valves make the air ‘tumble', thus creating more efficient combustion.

One criticism levelled at the two previous generation Golfs was that although the cars offered a ride and refinement package that was hard to beat, they never really offered the sort of infectious handling that many rivals could boast. The fifth generation car adopts a pragmatic tactic in ‘benchmarking' the suspension of the Ford Focus - and it works a treat. The body is eighty per cent stiffer than its predecessor and the electro-mechanical steering feel and composed body control are leagues ahead. As a result, Volkswagen have been able to build a hot hatch version that enthusiasts will again want to drive. Once again, with the MKV Golf, Wolfsburg could claim to make the definitive GTI.

OVERALL

Used prices have remained firmer than a Tory home secretary although there won't be many GTI owners who have regretted their purchase. There's not too far you can go wrong as long as you track down a well looked after car. I'll have a three-door with DSG. In white please.

Does Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story take place inside Bowser the entire game?

No spoilers please. I'd just like to know, does a huge majority of the game take place inside Bowser, or do you get out at some point?

And I don't mean for a final battle or anything. I'm talking like half or a quarter of the way through the game.

Once again, please try to avoid spoilers.

Well, Not Bowser (Who is controlled by the X and Y buttons and is viewed on the top screen) but for a good deal of the game Yes, Mario and his younger green brother (controlled by A and B) and stuck inside Bowser.
