Second $2 Million Bugatti Veyron Crashes, This Time Into British Wheat Field

Apparently the second known Bugatti Veyron accident has occurred in the British countryside near West Berkshire, UK. The $2 million plus supercar lost control on a sweeping curve, plowed through a hedge line and ended up backwards in a wheat field. The pictures are of poor quality, but the damage seems pretty extensive (and expensive) with a thoroughly reshaped left fender, destroyed lower fascia and shattered windshield. Seems like another case of the driver not knowing the limits in a car far exceeding his abilities — won't someone please think of the supercars?

Bugatti Veyron Replacement Coming In 2012, Plans For Entry-Level Model Scrapped

If the current Bugatti Veyron and its 1001 HP quad-turbo W16 just aren't doing it for you anymore, fear not, for Bugatti may be developing a high-end successor, and canning plans for a more-affordable model. In addition to an even more extreme version of the current hypercar, known to some as the "Veyron GT," which will come at the end of the Veyron's production run, a second saloon model may be launched to rival Rolls-Royce. In a recent interview Autocar had with Franz-Josef Paefgen, the Bugatti boss said: More »

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Number One Auctions For $2.9 Million

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours last weekend, and chassis number one was promptly auctioned off the following day by Gooding & Company for the obnoxious sum of $2.9 million. "Standard" pricing for the ultra-exclusive convertible is set at €1.4 million, or about $2 million, so a paltry $900,000 for the privilege of owning the first one is totally worth it. Thanks to the magic of the internet you can watch the entire sales process below the fold. It certainly is a whole different world.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport: A Targa For The Rest Of Us... With A Few Extra Million To Spend

The open-topped Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport has officially been set loose on the world in pictures ahead of its planned Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance reveal in only a few weeks (chumps, don't they know the world will be watching the Woodward Dream Cruise that weekend?). According to Bugatti, the company busily trying to make the multi-variation Veyron the Ford Mustang of supercars, no sacrifice has been spared to get the sun shining in. We're told Bugatti's used a number of innovative reinforcement strategies to keep the car as stiff and safe as the original. We'll take two.

Matte Black Bugatti Veyron Soaks Up The Dubai Sun

Logically, a matte black car in the middle of a sweltering desert climate makes no sense. Why, then, has someone gone and painted their Bugatti Veyron in this sun-absorbing hue? If they wanted something more special than a standard Veyron, they could have ordered up a Pegaso, Hermes, Pur Sang. Nah, this isn't just about exclusivity or suitability: It's about having a badass ride. We want one even more than we want a flat black GT-R. [CarZi]

Bugatti Veyron Targa To Bow At Pebble Beach, Car Snobs To Feign Disinterest

The Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance usually plays host to the reveal of at least one high profile, high-dollar piece of driveway candy every year. This year is no exception with the Bugatti Veyron Targa expected to make an appearance and drop its very expensive top. And when we say expensive, what we really mean to say is ridiculously expensive. More »

Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Production To Be Limited To 15

We already assumed when we saw the new Sang Noir special edition of the Bugatti Veyron first-hand at the Frankfurt Auto Show it would be an extremely limited edition run of the world's most exclusive super car. We just didn't realize how limited. Evo magazine's reporting this month that the new Veyron dressed in black will be limited to a mere 15 units when it goes on sale. Expect the competition for those 15 pieces of polished perfection to be simply staggering. We're half expecting to see a new game show hit CNBC pitting 10 of the top .0001% having at each other for a chance to buy one. Now that's reality TV we'd like to see. [via evo]

BBC Facing Calls To Sack Clarkson Over Boasts Of Speeding 186 MPH On British Public Roads

The Beeb's facing some criticism today from road safety activists over comments made by the very lovable, huggable and downright loud, Jeremy Clarkson. Actually, it's not just criticism — it's an outright call for his firing from the venerable Brits who broadcast. Apparently, during an interview by Daily Mail columnist Rosie Boycott, the 48-year-old host of the world's bestest motoring show was asked what was the fastest he had ever driven. Mr Clarkson replied: "On the public roads...186." Jeez. Didn't they know he was obviously talking about public roads with unlimited speed limits — like the Autobahn? Oh, wait, what's that? He was talking about the the Limehouse Link tunnel between Central London and Docklands in a Bugatti Veyron? Oh. Well, then he's a silly twit, isn't he for making mention of it? This isn't the first time he's had run-ins over road-going incidents, despite his proud claim of having "never been pulled over for speeding." More »

Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side

There's not that much you can do to a Bugatti Veyron to make it more powerful (and still drivable), so Bugatti has been creating slightly revised special editions for those with slightly deeper pockets, such as the tame Bugatti Veyron fbg par Hermes and the wild Veyron Pur Sang. Now we have the Sang Noir, which translates directly to "Black Blood" though dark blooded is probably more appropriate.
