I guess for a little over a million American (+tax, license, destination fees, etc.) anyone can buy one!

Very cool video - Thanks for posting that, Brian!

If you didn't hold your breath from 370 to 407 you don't have a pulse. Amazing!

Neat : ).

That said though... I wonder how quick an F1 car would be if tuned for speed instead of for down force?

Top Gear is a wonderful program, look out for Clarkson's 48ft Fiat limo in the last episode lol.

The Veyron was quicker than a GSX-R1000K6 0-100-0 in a recent UK test.

Wonder if they'd hold a delivery position for me if I sent a $25 deposit via PayPal?

And then this happens


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/surrey/ 6422215.stm

A car worth more than £800,000 was involved in a collision with a van before crashing into trees.

The accident occurred in heavy rain on a 40mph section of Renfree Way, Shepperton, Surrey, on Sunday.

The rare Bugatti Veyron collided with a Vauxhall Astra van carrying a pregnant woman, who was taken to hospital as a precaution but later went home.

No one else was hurt but police have reported the Bugatti driver for driving without due care and attention.

Surrey Police said the luxury car was driven by a man who had a male passenger with him.

A man and a woman were travelling in the Astra.

The accident occurred at 1440 GMT and the road was closed until 1630 GMT.

The eight-litre, hand-crafted Veyron has a top speed in excess of 250mph.

The 1,000 horsepower Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds.

The pregnant woman in the van is only so lucky that she got to get hit by that car. Most of us will never get to see or touch one. If I'm gonna get hit by a car, I hope it's a 800,000 euro 255mph bugatti.

I wonder what the towing capacity for a Bugatti is?

Looks like VW/Bugatti might have some comp...

Koenigsegg CCXR

And it's more "environmentally friendly" burning E85.

I wanna see a race!

I finally found the pictures (scanned from old timey print pictures) I took of a Bugatti Veyron that was on the showroom floor of a exotic dealer in Berlin Germany just down the street from the Brandenburg Gate in 2002 or 2003. Magnificent automobile, but one that I will never be able to afford...
