So you’re in the market for a new supercar and your budget is around $1.2 million dollars – well, you’re in luck. A dealer in the Netherlands has this light blue Bugatti Veyron (looks like the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire) up for sale with a matching Mercedes Atego car transporter for a total of €895,000 ($1,264,815 USD).

The Bugatti Veyron only has 4,802 miles on it and seems to be in mint condition.

Most of you who watch late night talk shows probably know the whole deal currently going on with The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and The Jay Leno Show (we’re not going to get into details). In an effort to anger NBC as much as he can before he leaves, Conan O’Brien is trying to put together little comedy skits that aren’t particularly funny, but ones that are really really expensive.

Last night, he added a new character to his show – a Bugatti Veyron dressed up as a mouse. To make matters worse, the Veyron mouse’s theme song was the original master recording of The Rolling Stone’s classic “Satisfaction.”

The whole skit apparently had price tag of $1.5 million. Gotta love Conan.

You’re probably really jealous of those lucky few driving around in a Bugatti Veyron. Well, once you figure out how much it costs to maintain one, you won’t be that disappointed.

You may think that those lucky guys driving the Veyron can very well afford the operating cost of the supercar but when you hear stories of one Veyron owner who has his trailered to his favorite road while he follows in an executive jet since it’s cheaper – you start to get a little curious.

According to AutoCar, a routine service for a Veyron costs a whopping £12,866 ($21,033 USD), whereas an annual service for a Ferrari Enzo is £1680 ($2,746 USD). A set of new tires will run you £23,500 ($38,417 USD), and that’s because they have to be capable of handling a top speed of 253 mph. Moving forward, every fourth tire change, the Veyron’s wheels must be replaced, leaving you with a bill of £7050 ($11,525 USD) per wheel.

Feel better? Good. So do we.

The big bosses at Volkswagen currently have no plans to offer a successor to the 1,001-hp Bugatti Veyron (and we’re pretty sure it’s the last thing on their mind). However, if they ever do decide on a successor to the Veyron, we definitely think they should consult John Mark Vicente, a Canadian graduate of the Communication Design program at Emily Carr.

Known as the Bugatti Renaissance Design Concept, the study builds on the current Veyron, throws in some Audi R8 touches and steroids.

Bugatti’s been celebrating its Centenary celebration for a while with a bunch of special-edition Veyrons. It is now wrapping up it Centenary celebrations with three custom models produced especially for the Middle East. The three models – Veyron Sang d’Argent, Grand Sport Soleil de Nuit and Veyron Nocturne – will be limited to just 5 units.

You can check out details on each model in the press release posted after the jump.

Bugatti Veyron Centenary Special-Editons for Dubai:

Press Release:

Bugatti honours the importance of the Middle East market
with 2 unique cars and a special series of only 5 Veyrons for the Middle East market

Dubai, 15th December 2009 – Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. finishes its Centenary celebrations
with three tailor made cars, especially developed for its discerning clientele in the Middle East:
the Veyron “Sang d’Argent”, the Grand Sport “Soleil de Nuit” and the Veyron “Nocturne”,
limited to five cars only.

The “Nocturne” – a special Veyron five car edition exclusively for the Middle East Market

The Veyron “Nocturne” strikes with an extraordinary partition of surfaces never used so far,
giving the car a new dimension of lateral length. Bugatti is experimenting with galvanized side
windows continuing the line of the polished aluminium upper body parts to the rear of the car
and contrast vividly with the uni black of the side- and door-panels and the roof. Added to that is
the hood, also covered in polished aluminium which emphasizes this impression of elegant
length. Special polished custom rims at the exterior and a futuristic interior dominated by a black
nanocoated magnesium dashboard and a centre console in galvanized Platinum complete this
unique combination of individualized modern design.

This mini series has been especially developed for the Middle East Market honouring its
importance and its strong partners in the area – Al Habtoor Motors, UAE, Al Zayani Trading
Co., Kuwait, Al Ghassan Motors, Saudi Arabia and Dana Motors, Quatar.

“Sang d’Argent” and “Soleil de Nuit” – two dreams for 1001 nights

The two-tone-scheme of the Centenary Villa d’Este cars were at the origin of the “Sang
d’Argent”, a one-off Veyron version built exclusively for the Middle East. But the country coded
coloured parts of the car have now been changed to a subtle silver metallic which discreetly flows
into the lines of the polished aluminium parts – doors and front wings – thus enhancing the
“silver theme” of this car; yet another unique Bugatti creation celebrating the 100th anniversary
of the brand. The “Sang d’Argent” has the Grand Sport rims, they complete together with the air
intakes on the roof the overall silver appearance.

Through the windows shines a differentiating Havanna interior with quilting pattern on seats
and saddle and other very personalized items emphasizing the unique features of this very special
Bugatti.

The “Soleil de Nuit” – Sun of the Night – is another stunning example of how a modern
interpretation of Bugatti’s core values “Art, Forme, Technique”: A very unusual colour/material
split characterizes the “Soleil de Nuit”, the second Middle East one-off model created for the
Dubai Motor Show. The horizontal split in the lower part of the car – a synthesis of polished
Aluminium, painted Black Blue Metallic enriched by mirror shine meshes – softens the lines of
this Grand Sport and gives the body a new touch of sportiness. Blue Metallic in the upper body
parts and also in the inner side of the (“Sang Noir”) rims, the outer side of which are in diamond
cut, underline the exquisite appearance of this dramatic looking car. A strong burnt orange
interior crowns the attractiveness of this impressive “Soleil de Nuit”.

The cars will be available for delivery in the first quarter of 2010. Their prices range from 1.65
Mio Euro for the five car series of the “Nocturne” to 1.45 Mio Euro for the “Sang d’Argent” and
1.55 Mio for the “Soleil de Nuit”, the Veyron and Grand Sport one-off models.

All these models are a visible proof of how creativeness and inspiration can be successfully driven
to new limits. Bugatti’s constant strive for new technology, more power with less weight, more
innovative design aiming for improved speed, easier handling and more inspiring elegance has
become legendary. Bugatti’s sophisticated individualization and personalization program has
opened new opportunities for the creative and discerning customers found in the Middle East.
New materials have widened the range of personalized options and have led to combinations and
applications of different varieties of high tech elements never seen before. Thus Bugatti chose
the Dubai Motor Show to present these new combinations the first and only time to a broader
public.

100 years later the Bugatti brand is well established again

Honouring the foundation of the company in 1909 Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S opened the
anniversary with a one-off version of the Veyron, the “Bleu Centenaire”, at the Geneva Motor
Show in March. At the Villa d’Este weekend at the end of April the company paid tribute to
Bugatti’s racing history – which was to a great extend responsible for the worldwide reputation
of the brand – with four very special Grand Sports, accompanied by their respective Type 35
predecessors, all featuring the traditional racing colours representing France, Italy, England and
Germany, namely blue, red, green and white. Bugatti was then one of the honoured marques at
the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California in August and highlighted the event with
the presentation of the “Sang Bleu”, a one off Grand Sport in a breathtaking and unique carbon
– aluminium combination. The “100th Anniversary Weekend” in Molsheim in September was
the platform for a glimpse into the future which might look like the Bugatti 16 C Galibier
concept – intended to be the most exclusive, elegant and powerful four door automobile in the
world.

The presentation of these very special cars at the Dubai Motor Show is the final highlight, with
which Bugatti ends its Centenary celebrations. We are honoured to complete our 100 Years at
this prestigious Motor Show of a very important market for Bugatti.

Yesterday, we saw a Bugatti Veyron being pulled out of a lake in Texas after a man, who wishes to remain anonymous, lost control of the ultra hyper car.

We now have the video of the actual accident taking place. The amateur video was taken by some man who happened to be in the right place at the right time.

As reported yesterday:

Apparently, the owner was distracted by a low-flying Pelican leading him to jerk the wheel and veer into the lagoon in approximately two feet of salty water.

Owning a car over $1 million is a huge responsibility and probably entails a lot of stress.

Meet this Bugatti Veyron owner who dropped the ultra supercar into a saltwater lagoon near Galveston in Texas. Apparently the owner (who wishes to remain anonymous for many reasons) was distracted by a low-flying Pelican leading him to jerk the wheel and veer into the lagoon in approximately two feet of salty water.

The man escaped with no injuries. As for the Veyron, the engine reportedly ran for a quarter of an hour before dying.

You can check out a video of the Veyron being pulled out of the lagoon after the jump.

We’re pretty sure that you remember the Mansory Bugatti LIENA Vincero - you know that Veyron that Mansory managed to tune to extract an additional 108-hp from (which we think probably made no difference to a car of such power). Well, we now have more photos and a video of the special Veyron from Mansory along with some pricing details.

So who’s going to buy this car? Well, the LINEA Vincero was created in partnership with Mansory’s Middle East partner “Prestige Cars Abu Dhabi.”Exactly – people who have the ability to throw down additional money on their Veyron to have the right to say “my Bugatti is tricked out by Mansory.”

The small visual changes and performance upgrades cost an eye-popping $985,776 – the car itself costs close to $2 million

Of course, for most of us the over $1 million price tag of the Bugatti Veyron can seem a little steep. Well, now you can get behind one for just $25,000… a day.

Believe it or not a Berkshire-based leasing company called Holders Vehicle Contracts has the world’s fastest car (or one of the world’s fastest if you will) in its rental fleet and will let you cruise around in it for a whopping $25,000 a day. Oh and did we mention that you have to throw down a $160,000 deposit as well.

Nonetheless, Holders VC says it already has had a few willing to rent one of the world’s most expensive cars. As far as we know, this is probably the world’s most expensive rental car.

Ahmed Almuhairi of United Arab Emirates manage to capture the Top Gear crew, including The Stig, on location with four high-performance supercars.

While Almuhairi said that police created a 1.86 mile blockade, he managed to capture a 38 second video in which you will see a Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR 722, Lamborghini SV LP670-4 and the old McLaren F1.

Of course, this means a very exciting episode in the works which we’re anxiously looking forward to.

How do you make one of the world’s most exclusive vehicles even more exclusive? By painting it gold and making it look gold-plated. Bugatti has just dropped new images of what may look like a gold-plated Veyron; however, it’s just a two-tone gold colored exterior.

Of course, there is no better place to take pictures of a golden 1001-hp Bugatti Veyron than in Dubai – where one can afford to flaunt such an exclusive looking supercar.

Sure other Veyron owners may be able to go from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds – but you can now do it in a more elegant manner.

If the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire just didn’t do it for you, Mansory has just unveiled its new LINEA Vincero at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. Mansory, which is known for offering nearly all parts made from carbon fiber, added a new front apron, side skirts, larger air outlets on the sides and the back along with a new diffuser. The tuner also added LED daytime running lights in front mount along with a “V” on the grille for the “Vincero” name.

Starting off with a base 1,001-hp Bugatti Veyron 16.4, power was slightly increased to 1,109 with a maximum torque of 966 lb-ft. The increased power comes from an increased cooling air supply and optimized exhaust system.

The LINEA Vincero was created in partnership with Mansory’s Middle East partner “Prestige Cars Abu Dhabi”

Mansory Bugatti LINEA Vincero:

Press Release:

World premiere at the 79th Geneva Motor Show 2009
LINEA Vincerò – Mansory refines the Bugatti Veyron 16.4

“Vincerò! Vincerò! ¬– I will win”, that is the self-confident exclamation from Nessun Dorma, probably the most famous tenor aria from Giacomo Puccini´s opera Turandot. And Vincerò is also the name of the latest automobile accessory line by refining specialist Mansory. Mansory already finds many parallels for the new name: The plot of the aria stems from a Persian tale of 1001 days which also relates to the standard motorisation of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with 1,001 hp. On the other hand, it should also refer to the origin of Kourosh Mansory, the founder and CEO of Mansory Corporation. And the opera has another reference to the offered product portfolio by ending after three acts. The LINEA Vincerò edition is also not infinite – the project is strictly limited.

It goes without saying that such a sonorous name is only suitable for an absolutely high-quality programme. Already the Bugatti Veyron serial edition sets standards in terms of price, maximum speed and engine power and leaves its competitors far behind when a contender for the super sports car is to be crowned. Whoever now thinks that everything possible has been achieved, can be proved wrong. Already visually, the changes clearly show. The front part gets a comprehensive face-lift including modified wings, a shorter hood and a striking front apron. The LED daytime running lights integrated in the front mount and the implemented stylised “V” as a special tribute to the name “Vincerò” draw even more attention to the car. The newly developed side skirts are the visual and aerodynamic connection between the axles. Larger air outlets at the sides and at the back render optimal engine cooling and in combination with the new diffuser, they underline the powerful car design. Mansory manufactures nearly all auto body parts from ultra-light and high-strength carbon. The applied hardening technique with strong pressure and high temperatures in the autoclave thereby enormously improve the material quality.

In order to perfect the entire visual appearance, Mansory devised new, striking fully-forged turbine-design wheels for the Linea Vincerò in serial dimensions.
.
Also, the power engine is refined by Mansory. Technical innovation is combined with technical expertise and thereby, an increased cooling air supply and optimised exhaust system produce an unbelievable 1109 hp and 1310 Nm.

The interior is exclusive and yet functional. Also here, Mansory understands how luxury and technology can be harmonically combined. When traditional craftsmanship, selected materials and stylish design merge, the result is an interior of automobile excellence.

This mainly shows by the LED lights of the new Ambiente-Illumination-System which are fitted in the seats, door linings and the dashboard. The entire passenger compartment glows in a soft light which does not only render a comfortable feeling, but also emphasises the high-quality carbon applications and the especially grained leather. The ergonomically designed airbag steering wheel is both sportive and particularly pliable and is equipped with rocker switches.

The Mansory individualisation programme for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is offered in a limited edition via the Middle East partner “Prestige Cars Abu Dhabi”.

The Mansory Cooperation GmbH solely offers proprietary developed modification accessories under the name LINEA Vincerò. They do not market entire automobiles and also do not sell any such vehicles.

Bugatti today unveiled the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show celebrating the company’s 100th anniversary. Rumors have proven to be false as the Veyron Bleu Centenaire does not get a 350-hp increase and “shares all performance characteristics of other Veyron models performance.”

Nonetheless, we do have another special-edition Veyron that gets a two-tone variation of the lightest shade of Bugatti Blue - sprintblue matte and sprintblue gloss. The roof stripes, exterior mirrors and other trims are made of polished aluminum. The appearance is further enhanced by the bright red brake-calipers. The inside of the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire is fitter with special “snowbeige” leather with quilting on the seats.

Bugatti also said that LED lights, park distance control and a rear-view-camera have become a part of the standard equipment for all Veyrons from this year onwards.

Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire:

In 1909, an Italian man by the name of Ettore Bugatti founded a company that one day would produce very expensive high-performance vehicles under the ”Bugatti” name. Well, it is now 2009 and the Molsheim automaker is celebrating its hundredth birthday.

According to new reports, Bugatti is working on a special-edition Veyron for its 100th birthday that will make its debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show next week. Known as the Centenaire, the special-edition Bugatti Veyron is expected to get custom styling and a neck-snapping 1,350-hp (an increase of 349-hp over the base Veyron).

Top speed is rumored to come in at 425 km/h (264 mph). Is the Centenaire Veyron real? We’ll find out early next week.

It’s not like that there were already enough limited or special edition Bugatti Veyrons running around in the world, tuner Mansory has decided to put their touch on one of the most expensive and fastest cars in the world.

While there is plenty of online debate whether the car is a Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir that’s been further modified by Mansory or a base Veyron that’s been redone to resemble the famous limited-edition Bugatti. Nonetheless, it is widely known that Mansory was involved with the project that is known as the Bugatti Veyron Vincero Limited. The body features a blackout trim and smoked chrome, new front fenders and door panels in chrome and a carbon fiber hood. The interior features a black and white upholstery, woven seatbacks and carbon fiber and suede trims.

It is unknown how many Vincero’s were made but what we do know is that there is one that sits at Prestige Cars in the United Arab Emirates.

Looking for a used Bugatti Veyron? Yeah – so are we. We’ll we’re both in luck because a 2006 Veyron has just popped up on Craigslist with only 874 miles on the odometer. The car was listed on the popular classified advertisement site two days ago in the Los Angeles, CA section.

The car is located in Benicia, which is just north of San Francisco but for a car that does 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph – that’s not too far. Plus, it’ll be a great driving the 1001-hp car on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The asking price? $1.3 million – which is probably the highest price-tag a car has ever carried on Craigslist. Nonetheless, if you’re interested, contact the dealer (contact info is available on the listing).
