we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard so congratulations on launch of the sharone it's the car of the show I think what I'm wondering is that if you go back to 50 years President Kennedy said that we would go to the moon because it was hard it was an engineering challenge and also to beat the Soviets but it's something that we did and it was an amazing engineering achievement do you think of this car the same way when the first astronauts were putting their foot down it was unbelievable and I am absolutely confident that this car deserves to be star of the show because it is the best many people might say that that the Veyron was the best what drove you guys to to beat the best well I think this is what we owe ourselves if you put this all together if you have the smart guys that add into the concept into the powertrain into the aerodynamic and chassis technology this is the outcome would have been possible to build this car 15 years ago no definitely no you know every four years in the Olympics we want to find out who can run the 100 meters the fastest and I know they work on the transmission of listening when the gun fires and your brain tells you now run and if you do this in an optimized way I think they will be able sometimes to run the one that meters a little bit above eight seconds and this is how we approach these projects no stone will be unturned and everything gets optimized to the edge were there any compromises in building it no this is the lucky thing in Bugatti we follow the slogan of Ettore Bugatti who at the former time said nothing is too exclusive and nothing will be too expensive to go in a Bugatti so this car I think is 2.4 million euro if you built a 10 million dollar you got it could it go faster as a present no 2.4 million is the base price no text but in terms of pipe performance at present this is it we couldn't have done better does that 2.4 million euro cost does that cover the cost of the car yes this car is adding into the bottom line result of Bugatti and we are making money with this project and so is money going back to to Volkswagen we are a member of the Volkswagen are gay but I'm fighting hard to keep all the money we make in sight Bugatti to do the next project what's the lifespan of this kart 8 years we already pre-sold one-third of the total run we think we will be able to do it in eight years how much of the car is actually built by you at you got it well the car is 100% brain powered engineer and all the conceptual work done in Bugatti the engine is produced in-house in Volkswagen Group and a lot of components like the monocoque the exterior is from our suppliers international very powerful pilots with only 500 units may not many people are going to get an opportunity to own one will technology from this car make its way into other vehicles from the Volkswagen Group I'm absolutely convinced we consider ourselves as a pre development and research group inside the Volkswagen Group and SP benefit from their knowledge material science and technology they benefit from ours it's a big family thank you very much I appreciate your time this morning and congratulations thank you very much
