This is how a Bugatti is made. Like other works of art, this supercar is a limited edition. Only 450 of them will ever be made. Bugatti calls its 1,000-square-meter production facility the Atelier. Instead of a typical assembly line found in most car factories, the Veyron is assembled at individual stations.

Here, a technician unites the transmission with the engine and carefully bolts them together with a handheld ratchet. The mechanical components of the car’s rear section have all been assembled.  Technicians push the back end along a track to meet the front. The track sits below the floor and is covered by metal plates that open and close around the trolly feet as they move. The workers join the two sections with just 14 titanium bolts. Once again, they use handheld ratchets rather than power tools. 

The powerful mechanics of the Veyron have been assembled, but a Bugatti is not a Bugatti without its sculpted exterior. To bring the Veyron to its artful conclusion, technicians wear white gloves so as not to mar the surface with fingerprints. They install each component with the same care and precision used throughout. But before reaching this stage, an expert tests the car’s systems at this rolling-test station. These components are part of the rear-wing assembly. At high speeds, the rear wing extends and provides massive downward force to keep the car firmly on the ground. And when the driver breaks, it immediately flips to a vertical position, adding the braking power of a hatchback to the car’s powerful ceramic disks.

Here, a specialist prepares the car for its final inspection. The car will spend two entire days at this station as he painstakingly buffs and polishes the car to shining perfection. He must ensure that every centimeter of the surface is absolutely flawless.

Bugatti’s Molsheim factory built the Veyron from 2005-2015. The factory now only builds the new Chiron.

Forced to contend not only with the forest’s other ruthless inhabitants, but with her own father’s greed-addled judgment, the girl finds she must carve her own path to escape.

Honouring some inspiring women of the present and the past, Barbie’s maker Mattel is all set to make International Women’s Day remarkable.  Mattel is happy to introduce two different series of Barbies; Inspiring Women which features historical female figures and a few additions to the Shero line which is named after the inspirational contemporary women.

The new series Inspiring Women from Mattel is honouring the pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson. “The series pays tribute to incredible heroines of their time; courageous women who took risks, changed rules, and paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger than ever before,” Mattel spokeswoman Marissa Beck told a news channel.

Mattel conducted a survey of around eight thousand mothers around the globe to find that 86 per cent of them were worried about the kind of role models the daughters are exposed to.“Girls have always been able to play out different roles and careers with Barbie and we are thrilled to shine a light on real life role models to remind them that they can be anything,” said Barbie’s senior vice president and general manager Lisa McKnight.

The Sheroes line started in 2015 and is proud to add 14 new Barbies to their series. The role models include Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, A Wrinkle In Time director Ava DuVernay,  Team USA gold medalist snowboarder Chloe Kim and Team USA bronze medalist fencing champion Ibtihaj Muhammad, body positivity activist Ashley Graham, prima ballerinas Misty Copeland and Yuan Yuan Tan and 2 Michelin star chef Helene Darroze. Other Shero dolls honour fashion designers, journalists, actresses and entrepreneurs with prominent personalities like the Australian conservationist  Bindi Irwin, British boxing champion Nicola Adams, Turkish windsurfing champion Cagla Kubat, Chinese volleyball champion Hui Ruoqi, German fashion designer Leyla Piedayesh, Mexican golfer Lorena Ochoa, Polish author and journalist Martyna Wojciechowska, Italian soccer player Sara Gama, Chinese actress and philanthropist Xiaotong Guan and Spanish designer and entrepreneur Vicky Martin Berrocal.

The dolls come with information about their contributions to the society. As there is no specific release day for these dolls, we can just wait in anticipation for these dolls.
