Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

 

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.

Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck – right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is the world’s fastest open-top car

The Bugatti Veyron may have lost it’s claim to being the fastest car in the world recently with the Hennessey Venom GT overtaking it, however the Molsheim-based company has now retaliated. With Chinese racing driver Anthony Liu at the driver's seat and on parent company Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessain proving ground, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse achieved a record of 408.84kmph. This makes it the world’s fastest open-top car. Hold your horses though! Guinness Book of World Records is yet to verify this claim as currently only the German TUV has measured the speed.

Bugatti will be displaying this particular black and orange car at the upcoming Shanghai Show. Later on, the company plans on making eight such World Record edition cars and sell them for Rs 14.24 crore each.
