Came across this Veyron today:

- 1000 hp
- 16 cylinders (2-V8)
- $1.4 Million

Notice the condensation in the left headlight, must be a faulty seal.
The guy should have got the local mechanic to survey the car prior to handing over that cheque.

Surprisingly quiet when it drove away.

Yet more proof that it's not waterproof. (See my latest post in the "Wheels" thread for the initial evidence...)

i think this is a real volkswagen problem, as my parent drive a skoda octavia, which is a czech production of vw, they had that problem too.
pretty crazy they can't solve those problems within a $1.4 million car...

oh, and you can get that one as a used car here in europe for €800k

Peoples, this is what you get for 1.4-Million dollars...pure luxury!

brunick · 11-13-2009, 06:19 AM

naa, i'd prefer a Audi RS6R, 730hp, €160k and its a station wagon

Well, this is pure luxury, a Maybach Zeppelin...

Yacht News · 11-13-2009, 07:31 AM

I was being hint, sarcastic with the Bugatti Lars, but I do agree with you on the Maybach, the interior is ridiculous!

and Jannick, one of my favs is the Audi R8!

brunick · 11-13-2009, 07:53 AM

yap, the R8 is also really great, there are a couple of them driving here

the maybach, yeah, nice ride, but the veyron is more the way "fast-fun"

I second that choice. A "regular" RS6 will do nicely too. You could call MTM in case you get bored by the standard 580hp.

That video made the 6 o'clock news a couple days ago.
The guy said he got distracted by a low flying pelican.
No M. Schumacher there.

colossal waste of $.

Thanks for your four-word-opinion. Care to elaborate or qualify it?

If Hannibal Lecter required a spot of transport to his Gentleman's Club, here I think is his car.

If you don't make the correct impression upon the owner, he will not invite you into the showroom.

With 1012 bhp and 1036 lbft of torque (with up-grades available) and a cigar lighter, the nice Salesman will escort you to Saville Row to get your new tuxedo made. This tux has arms that go all the way around the back and has many leather straps, with matching muzzle.

All for 1/3rd of the price of a Vey and they do sell a few to private collectors each year.
