No cup-holders. That means I gotta keep my beer between my thighs. Don't these guys know anything about creature comforts?
And another thing - the speedo dialed up to 280 is purely for show. I bet the thing won't do any better than 275...
I need one.

God, why? Forgive them, they know not what they do.

Who resurrected the Bugatti name?
Or have they just been producing garbage for 60+ years?

Only 987bhp from 8 liters. Heck, Chuck Norris could've done that in 4.

My oldest son is getting his license in February -- and I'm gonna buy him one of these. What the heck! His grades have been real good.
It's a joke

Pedal to the metal and the Bugatti charges up to 170 mph in an instant, just as effortlessly. Unfortunately, the continual stream of local Sicilian traffic never allowed for any faster speed runs... Oh, those slowpoke Sicilians! They won't allow a Bugatti to go any faster than 170 mph. What kind of a country is this anyway? :)

And this is the sad news ... it crashes too.
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.
