The Bugatti Veyron is famous for breaking records, but there’s another record the car broke that Bugatti’s management team probably wished wasn’t so well-known: the huge loss the cars generated with every sale. Bugatti’s Volkswagen Group parent doesn’t release individual financial figures for the brand but an analyst for Sanford Bernstein has previously predicted the loss to be about 4.6 million euros (approximately $5 million) for each Veyron sold. That’s about double the average transaction price for each of the 450 Veyrons built over the past decade. The...

If you’ve ever seen a Bugatti Veyron in real life and were lucky enough to actually see and hear it driving, you may have been impressed, but you were almost certainly let down a bit by the exhaust note.
