Default Bugatti Veryon 16.4

bugatti.com - Veyron 16.4

I was bored so I thought I'd look at a new car for a couple of million. Maybe we could all throw in and then instead of the crossfire bears we could pass around the Bugatti to take pictures with. Just a thought!!!

the Veriyon has bee featured twice recently on Top Gear ... it's utterlymind boggling ...

In the first video, the car is driven at more than 250 mph

Top Gear Season 9 Episode 2 Bugatti Veyron

and in the second, it is matched in a two mile race against a miltary jet fighter ...

I can imagine how that would go ... if it takes the bears more than a month per one week visit, how long do you think that a one week visit with a Veryon would take ?

Unless you were at or near the top of the list, they'd be pushing you out from the home in a wheel chair to look at it and you'd be so senile you wouldn't even recognize what it was you were looking at ...

I understand that Goodyear developed a special tire for this bad boy. 265/30R/20 front & 335/30R/20 in the rear. By the way, did you notice in the video it was being driven in the snow? I don't even drive the Crossfire in the snow, are they nuts? I know, I know traction control...

For two million you should be able to have the colors mixed like at Home Depot.

Someone ownes one in Dallas. Had shown up at the Cars and Coffee show a time or two. Unfortunatly, not last weekend when I was there. Apparently the C&C staff thought he was coming so they had a special spot for it next to all the other Italian eye candy. I heard he was working on getting another one. Hopefully it will be there later this month. Will try to attend then head over to the Texas Motor Speedway for the events planned in the afternoon.
