December 31st, 1969 Possibly one of the rarest Bugatti Veyrons on the planet was spotted at a car show in Dubai sporting an equally rare United Arab Emirates ‘1’ license plate. You’d think that only the Sheik would have enough influence to own such a car and number plate but info sourced from Autoblog.nl suggest that the car is owned by a Russian project developer living in Dubai. Other cars said to be in his collection include a SLR McLaren, Pagani Zonda, Maybach 62, Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Murcielago, Hummer H2 and a G55 Mercedes. Some reports also suggest that the special Pegaso Veyron develops more power than the official 1,001hp figure, with most estimates around the 1,200hp mark. Pegaso was a Spanish coachbuilder that built a series of luxurious sports cars during the 1950s and worked closely with Ferrari and Alfa Romeo during this time.

    That color combo is one of the best that I have seen yet. And it is good to know that he has an extra 200 bhp to top all the others running around in the desert.

    Zeyad,

    Undeniably, this is best of the best and the pinnacle of exotic spotting. You are so lucky to have spotted such one-of-a-kind Bugatti Veyron which the standard is already exotic enough but this, its just being comprehensible. Superb shots my friend, Zeyad. It's a beauty and a feast to the eyes. Wonderful wonderful..

    Regards,
    weilik from Malaysia.
