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.

  1. 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!

  2. $1.7 mill and it doesn’t make its own fuel??? lol hilarious

  3. That guy must feel like the BIGGEST tool ever. :cool:

  4. Yeah, that IS funny! That thing MUST really drink the gas for someone not to notice how low they are getting.

  5. That’s why I always bring a spare gas can in my Hyundai.

  6. sh!t happens, what can i say?!

  7. People just could not afford petrol after buying the car.

  8. That’s funny. How many times in your life will you get to see that? I hope he bought lunch for everyone who pushed.

  9. every time i make a comment, it adds one to the sidebar. Problem is, that Steven isn’t me. DAM :evil: :evil: :evil:

  10. LOL. This is hilarious!!!! :D

    If you’re going Top speed on that car, It’ll burn it’s fuel in about 12 minutes. :twisted:

  11. yeah that is really unfortunate… but its a bughatti, if you can buy that you can buy gas even if its 5 dollars per gallon

    Click for Nick

  12. hts

    if you’ve got the $ to buy this car, you should have the money to maintain it and buy fuel for it to drive …or ? …

  13. All I can hear is the laughing and nothing else LOL

    -Mike

  14. This is so funny. This guy spent so much money on the car that the gas is not in the budget anymore lol

  15. Surely everyone has pushed the limit on their gas?

  16. 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.

  17. These are two a penny in Dubai. It’s like “an average car” :lol:

  18. 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:

  19. 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.

  20. That is totally fitting in this day and age. :lol:
