sport cars


Nowadays cars are very important and most people in the world prefer sport cars. There are a lot of sport cars like the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo. In this essay, I’m going to write about the similarities and differences between these two cars.
There are a lot of similarities between the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The first similarity is both of these cars are sport cars. Another similarity is these two cars are very expensive like the Bugatti Veyron costs about $1,980,000  and the Porsche 911 Turbo cost about $137,360 ( Adams, Eric 23 Mar. 2011). Yet another similarity is both these cars are made mostly for rich people who have a lot of money and can buy these cars (Bovingdon, Jethro 23 Mar. 2011).
There are lot similarities, although there are a lot of differences between the Bugatti Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The first difference is the horse power of the Bugatti Veyron is 1001 HP, but the horse power of the Porsche 911 Turbo is 480 HP. Another difference is the weight of the Bugatti Veyron is 4350 lb; on the other hand the weight of the Porsche 911 Turbo is 3650-3750 lb. Another difference is that the top speed of the Bugatti Veyron is 253.2 MPH, but the top speed of the Porsche 911 Turbo is 192 MPH(Stewart, Ben. Stewart, Ben).
In conclusion, sport cars are the most important cars nowadays because of their speed and the power. In my opinion, I think the Bugatti Veyron is my favorite car because it is a fast car. I hope that I will buy the Bugatti Veyron in the future
