The Veyron features an 8.0 litre W16 engine with sixteen cylinders in four banks of four, equivalent to two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a W configuration. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of sixty four, but the narrow staggered eight configuration allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 by 86 mm (3.4 by 3.4 in) bore and stroke. The official test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel and Adrien drove the Super Sport version of the Veyron on Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien high-speed oval to establish the cars top speed. With representatives of the Guinness book of records and German Technical Inspection Agency (T�V) on hand, Raphanel made passes around the big oval in both directions achieving an average speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph).
The Super Sport features an engine power increase from the standard 1,001 metric horsepower (736 kW; 987 bhp) to 1,200 metric horsepower (883 kW; 1,184 bhp) and torque of 1,500 N�m (1,100 ft�lbf) and a revised aerodynamic package.
The first five production Super Sports will sport the same black and orange finish as the record car and all production models will be electronically limited to 415 km/h (258 mph) to protect the tyres.[4] The Veyron Super Sport was shown publicly for the first time at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August 2010
