PORSCHE VS BUGATTI

INTRODUCTION

My research is about two supercars which are the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 turbo. Both have different histories. Buggati is a classic car ; it was founded in France in 1909 by an Italian man called Ettore Buggati. On the other side the first turbo was introduced in 1975.

SIMILARITIES

Both are considered as sport cars, and they also have a very long history which gives them the advantage of producing cars with high quality and high performance. They are also considered as TWO of the most powerful cars in the world compared with other sports cars. Both are also popular cars. Both are also smooth and fast and also they are two-seated cars which gives them less weight and makes them go faster.

Differences

There are also many differences between the Buggati and the Porsche 911. Firstly the price.The Buggati costs $2,000,000 while the Porsche costs $143,800. Moreover the top speed of the Buggati is 407 km/h while on the other hand the Porsche has the top speed of 312 km/h. ( http://wikicars.org/en/Bugatti_Veyron )

In addition the Buggati goes from 0-60 MPH in 2.5 seconds while the Porsche takes 3.5 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH. Furthermore the Buggati has a power of 1001 hp while Porsche has 500 hp which is almost half compared with the Buggati. In addition the Buggati has a torque of 922 ib-ft@2200 RPM. On the other hand 500 HP@6000 RPM with the Porsche 911 turbo. Also both have different weights;the Buggati weighs 5000 pounds, unlike the Porsche which weighs 3650-3750 pounds.

Interest points of information

• Adjusting the back spoiler, reducing ground clearance, opening and closing the lids – it all adds to the Buggati Veron a perfect balance between propulsion and down force.
• Porsche contains the optional PDK and Sport Chrono Package Turbo with dynamic engine mount system.(http://www.porsche.com/kbase.aspx?pool=usa&type=kbase&id=997-2nd-tu-detail-chassis-chronopackage&lang=none)

Conclusion

Last but not the least, both cars are considered as two of the best cars in the world, but if I would have the chance to choose one it will be difficult but if I’m having enough money I would buy Buggati because it has higher performance compared with the Porsche 911.
