ESP as a safety and dynamics factor.

It is clear that Bugatti has designed an ESP brake system which corresponds to the high performance reserves of the Veyron completely. Thanks to a complex and intelligent mechatronic system to activate the rear differential lock and the front four-wheel drive, the Bugatti Veyron is entering driving dynamics territory still uncharted even by racing cars. A progressive ESP system ensures that the exceptional sports car can still complete its laps safely even if the dynamic limits already appear to have been exceeded. On the one hand, it is based on familiar features; on the other hand, it has numerous new functions developed specifically for the Veyron. And this is true of the full speed range! A crucial factor in this is that the brake electronics do not restrict the outstanding driving performance, but rather they improve the lap times which can be achieved on the world’s really fast and appealing circuits.

All hail the Bugatti Veyron – it would be an injustice to just look at the top speed figure, as this car is an extraordinary feat of engineering.

The name Bugatti is one of the most charismatic in the history of motoring for good reason. An excellent overview of Bugatti history can be found here and also at the official Bugatti web site.
