]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @voodoojoo: This car was obviously doomed from the start - it was built for giants with very short legs. A niche market at best.

Look at the seating position - limited leg room, but the car's topless so the head & torso can stick out. Look at the angle of that steering wheel - you'd have to reach down to it, there's no way a normal sized person could reach it. You've got the swing up doors so you can get all of your mass into the car. And Cameron Thirteen, don't worry about the 8-track in the passenger sill - you'll be able to reach it.

Oh, and OT? I like the monochrome black, but that neon interior's gotta go.

"..No matter what it costs, the grill still looks like it was made out of gutter guard from Home Depot...."

I was thinking that it reminds me of a tombstone.
In that vein, no Bête Noire should have a creamy caramel center.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @Cameron Thirteen: according to what I remember of the car, the tv screen was a reversing camera, seeing as the bodywork didn't exactly allow rear view mirrors

The true nature of the car was to showcase GM Holden's new V8 engine which they had developed. the next year saw the engine being released to the general public with either a 256ci or a 308ci capacity

of course, there's rumours floating around that the Muira was inspired by the Hurricane. hence one could say this is the grandaddy of all mid-engined supercars

(oh, and in those times, Australia didn't have a top speed, the police weren't quite as strict about it in those days, the speed limit was 'unrestricted' but 'no dangerous driving' which was open to interperatation)

Oh, and about the Veyron? it seems like just a regular paint/interior package, There's probably not a heck of a lot different between the specifications with this car, and that of every other veyron on the planet (not that those specs are anything to sneeze at)

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> Well, considering the fact that the word "Halloween" lacks any meaning whatsoever to 90% of the world's population, I am sure that Bugatti won't have any problems selling the twenty or so of these that they mean to produce.

Still approaching complete pointlessness.

And "Bugnutz" would be covered in black satin, in case anyone wondered.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> I was driving home from work on thursday when I drove by this bugatti in santa monica. I naturally parked in the first place I could find. They had it up on a platform the put it at the height of the sidewalk, and marked off with three security guards.

I talked to one of the suits that was sitting with the car, and they said that bugatti was showing it off to about 15-17 high rollers at a private party inside.

He also said that it would cost between $1.7 to $2Million.

Gotta keep that hot--and potentially radioactive--mess contained somehow, after all.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> I like the original Veryon a lot better, it looks more original. This, especially with the Halloween treatment is too much like the Lambos that come in that ugly color for the exterior.
I heard the original Veryon costs 5 mil to build and they sell it for 1.2mil which isn't a bad deal (low production numbers make it hard to keep costs down I suppose).

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @Cameron Thirteen: I think the TV is there to counteract the heart-crushing ennui that comes only after driving for eight hours straight at over a hundred miles per hour and you haven't turned once. Now that's an Australian supercar!

I went and saw it Thursday night and was amazed, very tasteful on the CGI content and very VERY exciting!

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @Sotrain: That'd be logical. A car costing this much, with over a kilohorse behind the seats, defies logic.

That being said, Black Blade would've been a better name.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @voodoojoo: Definitely looks better with the stripes, though I couldn't help but notice that the radio is on the driver's door sill while the 8-track is on the passenger's door sill. All I can say is woe unto the driver who hates the Bee Gees and has no passenger to pop in some AC/DC.

And is that a TV in the console? What would you watch in your car back then? Eastenders?

Hey, seeing as this is really the only post up today, I figured I might as well share here this cool car I spotted over on Supercars.net. It's the 1969 Holden Hurrican concept, that apparently preceded all of the Italian wedges by at least a year. The interior is the really rad part, if you ask me.

voodoojoo

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @Novaload: I agree completely about the Halloween color scheme. Who wants to spend US$1,200,000 + change on a car you are only going to drive one night a year...?

Unless your last name is Leno or Gates or Buffet...

That could indeed be the case, and would explain why we have these pictures and no information, instead of press-release style pictures and... well, a press-release.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @BlackIce_GTS: i think it could just be that rich people order Veyrons in custom configurations and Bugatti just shows them off as "special editions," instead of the Mustang Special Edition syndrome... i could be completely wrong, though.

smokyburnout

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> What? The interior isn't black? Why the hell wouldn't it be black? Isn't that the only logical choice for an entirely black car?

Sotrain

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> On the surface, this looks to be some Mustang-grade sales boosting, but why? They've already made whatever statement they're trying to make here, so it doesn't really matter if they finish the production run (300 cars, ending in 2012). Besides, doesn't it cost them something like twice the sticker price to build one of these? Why bother? What are they trying to do?
Lamborghini doesn't do this kind of crap, does it? (I mean, anymore)
Buggati; you are being tackier then Lamborghini. Think about that.

Not feeling the wheels on this one though.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> It's a good thing that the car is amazing to drive, because it would be tough staring at that orange dashboard for any length of time.

BTW folks, if you haven't gotten out to see Iron Man yet, do so now. Yeah, it's pretty good, and you're going to like it.

NovaloadMissesPolar

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> @smoke~: That's the one thing that bothers me about all the Veyrons. I mean, the rest of the car is just amazing up until your see its nose. I'm sorry, VW designers, but the horseshoe grill only works on a car that can rock it, most of them built between 1909 and 1942.

But I wouldn't mind sitting in one, though.

]]> <![CDATA[Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Special Edition Shows Bugatti's Dark Side]]> You might also need a Geiger counter and a lead suit to sit in this Veyron; I bet that interior just glows in the dark.
