Mansory presented his latest work, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 “LINEA Vincerò d’Oro.” The car with a gold touch, has received a facelift of the front containing two small strips of LEDs that seem to continue in the central “V” in this template (just shows the word “win”.) On the side make a fine show if the alloy wheels and new side skirts, while in the rear is a new speaker.

But the strong point of the car is the body made of carbon fiber, in addition to clear advantages in terms of weight gives the car an extremely unique (if a Bugatti needs it). Their “golden” filter in the interior of the car, loads extremely wide color and finished with several LEDs at the belt line. Fortunately, the preparation is also available without the special colored gold. The circulation is obviously limited.

Although fresh in presentation, the Bugatti Veyron could not miss the Super Sport with Top Gear. The stratospheric supercar was tested by two of the four protagonists of the popular British show, an antipodes of the other. In fact, the first video sees busy James May – also known as “Captain Slow” – atthe wheel of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in its latest evolution. Instead, the second movie is dedicated to the fastest lap on the track by The Stig of Dunsfold Park.

A car legend, the Bugatti 57SC Atlantic has become the most expensive car ever purchased. A museum has acquired it  for the incredible amount of 30 million dollars!

A Bugatti 57SC Atlantic  built in 1936 made forgotten every other car sale we could think of.  The highest prices for collectible cars were shattered by the sale of this vehicle to a museum for 30 million dollars being three times more expensive than the previous “most expensive car”.

Bidding was done discreetly only between the legal representatives of the seller – Dr. Peter D. Williamson and the buyer: Mullin Automotive Museum.

For a museum, this acquisition seems incredible, and some people say it would actually be for an anonymous collector. Read the rest of this entry »

If “the development becomes an art form”, then we must take a moment and look back. Trace the production process, focusing on technology, give weight to innovation. The stand thus presents a glimpse of the Bugatti Veyron, “exploded” to show its secrets: from the frame into two sections (together with titanium joints) to the fuel tank disposed in a protected position, the dual-clutch gearbox to the propeller W16.

With these conditions, the Franco-German manufacturer can afford to offer versions Grand Sport to be crazy prices: copy painted Dark Royal Blue and Arctic White side panels have already been sold for 1.75 million euros, 100 thousand euros more than the Veyron open top finished in carbon fiber and aluminum present along the bottom edge.

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is a violent, taunting, confounding and punctiliously engineered maelstrom. It is a handmade wonder built in a castle, and yet resembles a slightly squashed jelly bean. It has a $30,000 stereo, but it’s too much work to actually listen to it. The 16-cylinder, quad-turbocharged engine with 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque is programmed not to let you damage it, but in just one afternoon, the leather-trimmed coachwork on the doors will be a mess of shoe marks. The car’s brake rotors are chaperoned by 28 brake pistons, but using them forcefully is like begging someone to plow into the aforementioned engine. The car will cost you €1.6 million (roughly $2.24M USD), for which you get, as a soft top, an umbrella. That’s right, an umbrella. Own it and you’ll be master of the quickest accelerating production car in the world, and yet you’ll probably never remember what that acceleration is like. Read the rest of this entry »
