You can have more subtle combinations but it has to be two-tone. Goes back to the days of the Bugatti Royale apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes back to the days of the Bugatti Royale apparently. I think that one was likely meant to be "blinging" not subtly understated, even though the moron driving it wasn't the owner. And if I was paying that much for a car they'd be painting it EXACTLY how I wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Steve_Howey 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think a lot of people have kind of missed the point as to just why you would buy this car, and why one of them crashing is news-worthy I have a feeling if you started making demands as to what colour you wanted they would politely tell you to fuck of (in Italian of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s like having a shirt with the “right” label on it. It's still only newsworthy (or should be) because they guy was driving like a moron however (still bet he's not charged though).

I think I read somewhere that if you lined it up on a drag strip next to a Mclaren F1, then let the Mclaren have a head start up to 120mph it would beat it to 200mph.

The Veyron is unsurpassed, there is nothing you can buy to match it. The cost is irrelevant, Buggati actually make something like a 500% loss on each car. It is built for what it is, and for the exercise of building it, not to sell to posers or to make money, hence why I said if you went in demanding your own colours they would tell you to fuck off.
