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

You would think for that kind of money they could have finished the paint job.

I highly doubt the story. Who would rent such a rare car? You would have to give up a kidney before you could get a $1.5 million dollar car out for a joy ride.

Note to self: Start search e-bay for a new engine.......daddy has a 914 just waiting for 1000 hp......... wink.gif

This is the story from one source:

Car:
2006 Bugatti Veyron 16.4

Description:
This is the first Bugatti Veyron to be wrecked on the streets. It is the fastest and most expensive production vehichle in history, list price about $1.6 million.

The Veyron was doing around 100mph when it spun out of control, spinning 3 times before hitting a Vauxhall Astra with a 7-month pregnant woman inside. It then smashed into trees up a 3 foot embankment.

The Bugatti driver was with a younger male passenger. The car was taken away by the same truck driver who had delivered it to the owner just a week earlier. The owner is a businessman in his 40's who runs a rental car company with his brothers.

Location:
B375 near Chertsey, Surrey, United Kingdom

Hmmmm....a Bugatti Veyron repairable? I'll call Certi-fit and see if they sell any aftermarket Taiwanese parts to fix it up? Maybe I can get it back on the road for less than a million?

Sort of like Jay Leno spinning a Carrera GT... but at least he was on a race track and didn't hit anything... sooo... maybe a GT is the better car?

I was at a club last night in newport and there was a Veyron parked outside. One of my buddies saw the owner a last week and got a ride. Last night he remembered who he was and talked to us for a few minutes. He seemed like a cool guy... of course having a 1.6 million dollar car helps the cool status.

..according to last months (March) Playboy, "national luxury automotive service Putnam Leasing offers the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 ===== $25,775 a month".
