Über Fail: $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron loses drag race to Nissan GT-R

Matt Hardigree — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:00:00 EST

The appeal of the Bugatti Veyron is it's so fast and so well-engineered any obscenely wealthy person can hop into it and be faster than other, poorer, people. Not this guy. He appears to not understand how the vehicle's launch control works and sits there, lamely, as the guy in the GT-R blows him away. More »

What a 1920s Bugatti Veyron would look like

Peter Orosz — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:00:00 EDT

I took this photo of an unpainted Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport and its 8-liter W16 engine at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with my father’s old Minolta XD-7 camera on Kodak’s T-MAX P3200 film, a black and white negative developed for extreme low light. A contemporary motor show with its profusion of high-power spot lights is, of course, the antithesis of extreme low light, but combined with the T-MAX, I got an image which reminds me of those old black and white photos from Bugatti’s original, lightweight heyday. Of spindly blue magnesium cars racing under the Mediterranean sun, under a blue sky never captured on film. More »
