Bugatti Veyron
-
Bugatti’s production run of 300 Veyrons is quickly approaching its finale so you’d better get your order in real quick or you may miss out. All jokes aside, production of the Veyron is almost at its end but to keep things interesting--for both fans and serious buyers alike--Bugatti has launched a new online configurator for its over-the-top supercar. The configurator lets you modify most of the Veyron’s details, including everything from color combinations and grille designs to wheel patterns and seat belt coloring. At the end, once you’ve arrived at your ideal Veyron...

Video: Russian Street Racers Pit Veyron Against GT-R
This no-holds-barred contest of raw material excess and skillful value-conscious performance yields no surprising results--the Veyron is far and away faster than the modified GT-R. But it's downright amazing on two levels: production value and sheer stupidity. Exceeding 160 mph on multiple...

Bugatti Veyron Voted Worst Environmental Offender By EPA
Every year the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) produces a list of the best and worst cars for fuel efficiency and not surprisingly this year’s worst offender is the 2011 Bugatti Veyron--a car fitted with a quad-turbocharged 16-cylinder engine displacing no less than 8.0-liters. This...

Ralph Lauren Has Something He'd Like To Show You
Charity auctions are curious things. Some of the goods are what you'd expect: artwork, jewelry, Botox gift certificates. But when celebrities get involved, the Wow Factor can shoot through the roof. Or not. We once saw Gregory Hines auction off a tap lesson for one lucky bidder and three of her...

Mansory Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron: the ultimate in vehicle customization
Customized Bugatti Veyrons are almost as common as the cars themselves, which is to say not common at all. But this particular car, modified by Mansory, is less common than even most other custom Veyrons, so much so that you could say the new Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron is the ultimate in vehicle...

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport sets 267.8 mph top speed record
It’s been known since the onset of the Bugatti Veyron that the bespoke supercar would be limited to an exclusive production run of just 300 units, and even from the very early days there has been talk about a special run-out model. There have even been reports claiming Bugatti is already...

Rumor: 1,200-HP Bugatti Veyron coming
The Bugatti Veyron, an all-star of the supercar world may soon get a healthy power boost. At roughly 1000hp, I wouldn't exactly say the current Veyron lacks motivation. Even so, Bugatti apparently plans to boost this impressive figure by 200hp. I can only speculate that the increased engine power...

William Shatner's Fave Rides Seem Highly Illogical
William Shatner was not always the hep-cat daddy-o he is today. Sure, he was a hot property in the 1960s, during the original run of Star Trek, but then the series was canceled, and there was that "Rocket Man" thing, and the $20,000 Pyramid, and before you knew it -- bam -- Shatner was the Erkel of...

Video: Where Does Jay Leno Go After Driving A Bugatti Veyron?
Okay, okay: we owe you an apology. That post from yesterday? The one about Snooki from Jersey Shore? That was completely cruel and uncalled for. Half of you probably didn't even know who Snooki was when you clicked through from Twitter or Facebook or whatever. How could you have known what lay on...

Video: Bugatti Veyron Dressed As A Mouse. Yes, A Mouse.
Leave it to Conan O'Brien to do something so weird and wacky.

Walter de Silva is a powerhouse of modern automotive design. With cars like the Audi R8, TT and A5 among the many to his credit, his exteriors have a way of capturing the mind as well as the eye. But it wasn't always thus. In 1999, when Volkswagen was just beginning the revival of Bugatti, then-head of Volkswagen Design, Hartmut Warkuss, asked de Silva, then at Seat, to pen a preview of a Bugatti hypercar. De Silva delivered what you see here. While it does bear some resemblance to the final Veyron, there's enough different to mark it out as its own entity. The aggressive wrap-around side...

Video: New Footage Of Bugatti Veyron Crashing Into Lake
With only 15 examples in the country, and 300 being produced in total, it’s safe to say the Bugatti Veyron is one of the rarest cars on the planet. So it pains us to see this video of one example that ended up in a saltwater lake in Texas. What makes it worse is that the driver of the vehicle...

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport First Drive
At 253 miles per hour, an eerie calm settles in. The whuffling behind your ears dims its din, the flapping wastegates of four turbochargers are unanimous in their openness, and the ensuring white noise filters out everything but the sound of your own atria defibrillating as you stare at the single...

It's the most powerful passenger car on the planet. Also, one of the fastest. And the most likely to bankrupt small South American nations forced to decide between it and, say, a military. It's the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. Or, rather, the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the targa-topped version of the singular two-seat coupe that's been around since 2005 with its 987-horsepower, quad-turbocharged, W-16 engine, dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. It's also the most expensive car ever tested by the scribes here at MotorAuthority. We had the special opportunity last week to drive the Grand Sport...

Customized Bugatti Veyrons are almost as common as the cars themselves, which is to say not common at all. But this particular car, modified by Mansory, is less common than even most other custom Veyrons. In March, at the Geneva Motor Show, the modified Veyron was put on display for the first time...

Bugatti reveals more photos of Veyron Grand Sport as production ramps up

The Bugatti Veyron experience isn't priceless: it's $25,000 a day
With only about 300 of the Bugatti Veyrons in existence, a single-day rental may be the only chance some get to experience the car first hand. And for £16,000 ($25,000) the folks at Holders Vehicle Contracts in the UK will deliver exactly that. The single-day rate might sound like a pittance...

Burmester unveils 16-speaker audio system for new Porsche Panamera
For many, the most enjoyable part of driving a high-end sports car can be that rumble coming from the exhaust pipes as you wind the engine up to its shrieking-point - but there are also times when you'd like to just sit in the car and listen to your favorite album on your way to your destination...

Bugatti unveils more ‘Centenaire’ special edition Veyrons
Early last month we revealed details about Bugatti's new special edition variant of the Veyron, the 'Bleu Centenaire'. Designed to mark the company's 100th anniversary, we thought that there could not possibly be any more special editions of the Veyron on the horizon, but at this past...
