Bugatti Veyron – Eight Veyrons sold to one buyer

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport

Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer has confessed that one wealthy Bugatti customer from the Middle East has bought 8 Bugatti Veyrons. However wealthy you are it’s hard to imagine spending more than £1 million on a new car; a classic, certainly, but a new car with all that depreciation? No, thanks.  But that’s really just the [...]

Bugatti Galibier Hybrid

Bugatti Head Wolfgang Dürheimer has confirmed the 4-seat Bugatti Galibier will launch in Autumn 2012 at over €1M and with a hybrid option.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport 'L'Or Blanc'

Bugatti produce yet another Limited Edition Veyron – the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport ‘L’Or Blanc’ – enhanced with porcelain. You could argue that every Bugatti Veyron is a rather potty car.

Bugatti has shown two Chinese customer cars at the Shanghai Motor Show, a carbon fibre Veyron Super Sport & a Matte White Veyron Grand Sport.

Ron Dennis has said in an interview that he considers the Bugatti Veyron a ‘Piece of Junk’ and ‘Ugly as a Pig’. Harsh words. Is he right? No one can argue with the passion that Ron Dennis – CEO of McLaren Automotive – has for the cars McLaren builds and for cars in general. Equally, [...]

The Bugatti Galibier has some startling similarities to the new Bentley Mulsanne. Is the Galibier a re-skinned Mulsanne? A new Bugatti doesn’t happen every day.
