Bugatti Veyron

Our company's CTO (Chief Toy Officer) drove in his new Bugatti Veyron this morning. I wonder if he traded in any of his other 20+ cars; he also owns a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Jaguar XJ220. I heard from Leon's uncle that one of Kingston's owners got his Veryon as well. That's two of them within 15 minutes of each other!


16-cylinder...


1000hp...


€1.1M ($1.4M)

I heard security redirected one of their cameras away from our building so they can keep an eye on the Veyron. You can get a really nice house for $1.4M, even in South Orange County. I was in the Saleen store at Irvine Spectrum earlier this week with a co-worker and they had a S7 on display. It probably has about 95% of the performance of the Veyron but only costs ~$600k and looks more like a supercar.

You forgot the 4 turbochargers it has on that 16 cylinder engine too. Wow. What a car!

I am glad that people who buy these cars actually drive them, as opposed to the speculators. See this video for some guy who really enjoys his new Maserati MC12:
