How Not To Roll In Your Bugatti Veyron

written by John Chow on December 14th, 2007

For your Friday viewing pleasure, I like to present this “What not to do” video. The video was taken by some person in Las Vegas (I guess he has one of those take anywhere digital camcorder).

Zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds, top speed 253MPH! All that doesn’t matter when this happens to your $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron. The awesome Bugatti Veyron drinks gasoline at a prodigious rate, so the driver should keep an eye on that fuel gauge. Remember, the Internet is watching. And laughing.

It would have been great if the guy that heard him, came over and started messing with him. Haha, I can understand a Hummer or something running out of gas, but this is just dumb and funny!

You’re lucky, in SA, it would cost you an arm and a leg just to start the thing up!

Still an awesome car, if you haven’t touched a Bugatti Veyron, you can by helping him/her push it to the petrol stataion :lol: Maybe they will give you a free ride in it, just to run out again and have to fill up.

The most amazing thing about that car, is the manufacturing costs. It costs around $10 million to produce 1 of those cars - so obviously they aren’t in it for the profit, just the engineering challenge.

Who’d have thought a company owned by Volkswagen would do something like that. :razz:

Affiliate Confession said on December 18th, 2007 at 8:24 am

Well, if they sell 20 of them they’ll make $28 million in revenue. The $10 million is, I assume, mostly R&D. So at some point they would turn a profit. Companies don’t stay in business by losing money.

Wikipedia says different. It’s missing a citation, but motoring shows / magazines like Top Gear have confirmed it. Around $10 million USD (£5 million GBP) production cost per car.

VW were willing to take a loss because they wanted to see whether 400kph would be achieved, and they are only handmaking a few of these cars.
