Wolfgang Durheimer, new boss of Bugatti and Bentley, has all but confirmed that the Veyron will be replaced after the Galibier goes in to production. Did the world ever doubt there would be a replacement for the Bugatti Veyron? Did any of us really expect Bugatti would give up its crown as the maker of the world’s […]
Bugatti Veyron – Eight Veyrons sold to one buyer
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 option & Autumn 2012 Launch confirmed
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’: It’s a ‘Potty’ Veyron
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. But the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport ‘L’Or Blanc’ is even more potty than usual – it’s got bits of porcelain all over the car. That’s porcelain as in ceramics; the […]
Bugatti Veyron sold out. Well, sort of.
The last Bugatti Veyron – #300 of 300 – has been sold, although the Veyron Grand Sport and Veyron Super Sport continue. The Bugatti Veyron was never supposed to be a ‘forever’ car. It was, from the very beginning, sold as a Limited Edition of 300 cars. And now that 300 cars has been reached […]
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport & Super Sport China specials
Bugatti has shown two Chinese customer cars at the Shanghai Motor Show, a carbon fibre Veyron Super Sport & a Matte White Veyron Grand Sport. Really, we don’t need to look at economic groups of nations – like the G8 or G20 – to judge how affluent a country is, or is becoming. We should just look which countries buy a […]
Bugatti Galibier: 2013 launch – but you knew that
Bloomberg are reporting that the Bugatti Galibier will go in to production in 2013. Which we reported back in 2009. Well, I’ll go to the foot of our stairs, as my dad would have said. The Bugatti Galibier is going to get built and arrive in 2013. No less a source than Bloomberg says so. […]
Bugatti Galibier: Game on
The four door, four seater 800bhp Bugatti Galibier is signed off for production in 2012. The headline – Bugatti Galibier: Game on – is almost the same as one we wrote almost exactly a year ago – Bugatti Galibier Green Light – but we thought, as the ‘Bugatti Galibier signed off for production’ story seems […]
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: More details & new photos
Bugatti has sent us more details on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport and a pile of new photos. Thanks to a friend of Cars UK with a healthy appetite for hypercars (and the bank balance to indulge his lust) we were able to break the news to the world that Bugatti were building the […]
