100 to 0 km/h in 2.3 seconds and less than 10 seconds from 407 to a full standstill – if there is one area in which the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport excels even more than in acceleration, it is the exact opposite: braking.
Intelligent carbon-ceramic brake discs with interior ventilation, eight-piston monoblock caliper units in the front, and six-piston caliper units in the rear provide a maximum of braking power and optimum cooling. At velocities exceeding 200 km/h, the rear spoiler serves as additional air brake. Activated by the brake pedal, the spoiler shoots up and is deployed at a 55-degree angle in less than 0.4 seconds. This allows the car to come to a full stop from 100 km/h in just 32 metres.
