German Cars
   Most of the people like to own a sport car, There are many companies that produce sport cars and  most of them  are expansive because the sport cars are very fast and beautiful. Today I am going to write about two cars which are very nice cars and fast, The Bugatti Veyron and The Porsche 911 Turbo.
   Firstly, I am going to discuss the similarities between the Bugatti and the 911 Turbo. Of the cars have the engine in the rear of the car, also they have a hydraulic suspension and both are turbo charged in the engine. Both of the cars are German made and they have a very high quality also they have a rear spoiler because in the top speed of these two car the rear spoiler comes out to keep the car straight in high speeds.
   Secondly, there are many differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911.The Bugatti Veyron is the fastest car in the world and it has 4 turbo charges and the engine is 16 cylinder but  The Porsche has twin turbo charges and only 6 cylinders. The top speed of the Bugatti is 431 km/h and from 0-60 MPH in 2.7 second but the Porsches top speed is 312 km/h and from 0-60MPH in 3.6 seconds. The horse power of the Bugatti is 1001 but the 911 Turbo is 480 horse power and the curb weight of the Bugatti is 4350 ib (mfr) also the braking from 0-60 103 fit but the 911 Turbo is 1645 Kg. The price of the Bugatti is very expensive and it costs $1,980,000 million because it’s the fastest car in the world but the Porsche base price $137,360 to $140,780.
   In conclusion I think that the Porsche is better and I prefer it because when you will order a Porsche it will take about 3 months to arrive and it’s not expensive but the Bugatti will take about 5 or 8 months to arrive because its engine is handmade.
