Every supercar crash is painful to report but when the car involved is a Bugatti Veyron, it’s particularly painful. Just a day after reporting about the water-logged Veyron salvaged from a saltwater lake in Texas, comes news of an even more exclusive Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport that suffered a crash in the luxury playground of Saint-Tropez in Southern France. Few details are available but allegedly the driver crashed the car into the gates of his own Villa on the Cote d’Azur. To make matters even worse, this particular Veyron Grand Sport is said to be build number 001/150 and was...

Bugatti Veyron That Swam In A Lake Now Up For SaleYou may recall, back in late 2009, a Bugatti Veyron supercar ended up in a lake in Texas due to its driver reportedly being distracted by a low-flying pelican and veering of course.

Video: Bugatti Veyron Curbs Wheel During Epic Parking FailIn fairness to the driver of this Bugatti Veyron, visibility in a supercar tends to be very poor but that still doesn’t negate the lack of skill presented here in this latest video. While attempting to do a simple parallel park, albeit with quite of lot of cars and pedestrians loitering, the...

The latest project is based...

While most of us would be lucky to get a new pair of socks or maybe even a car care kit for our birthdays, rapper Jay-Z has been given a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday by his lovely wife Beyonce Knowles. Jay-Z, who celebrated his birthday on December 4, is said to have been thrilled with the present, despite already having one of the most extensive car collections in the country. Some of the cars he’s fortunate enough to own the keys to include a Maybach 62S, a Ferrari F430 Spider and a Pagani Zonda Roadster. Considering that money is probably no option for...

Video: Russian Street Racers Pit Veyron Against GT-RThis 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...

The Bugatti 57S Atlantic was, in many ways, ahead of its time. Even now, over 70 years later, it features elements just beginning to make their way into the average passenger car, such as aluminum body panels. This example, on display this weekend at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, offers, in a way, a glimpse into the past's idea of future cars. The 57S, particularly the 1937 model year, is highly deisred by collectors--so highly, in fact, that a barn-find car in unrestored condition sold for over $4.4 million at auction last year in the U.K.

Mansory Linea Vincero Bugatti Veyron: the ultimate in vehicle customizationCustomized Bugatti Veyrons are almost as common as the cars themselves, which is to say not common at all.

Rumor: 1,200-HP Bugatti Veyron comingThe 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...

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?

Bugatti Commissions Bespoke $15,000 PenIt's safe to assume that anyone in the market for a Bugatti Veyron probably has more money than they know what to do with, so marketers would be smart to promote a range of a range of accessories for the car with hyper-inflated prices. Not surprisingly, we've already seen several watches--with...
