Our friends at Teamspeed.com tipped us off on a new video of a Bugatti Veyron, the fastest production vehicle ON LAND (no pun intended – haha) priced at $1.6 million, being pulled out of a lake. From the information posted on the video this happened in Galveston County, Texas. Supposedly the driver was “distracted” and “accidentally” drove into the lake.  By the looks of it, his insurance company is going to be a little upset! Enjoy the video below!

UPDATE… We have obtained a link via YouTube to the actual crash video footage!!! NSFW (language not suitable for kids!)

UPDATE – The actual crash footage! VIDEO below!

From Galveston Daily News:

The two-seater, with 16 cylinders and four turbo chargers, can reach speeds of more than 250 mph. New models sell for about $2 million.

The man, who refused to give his name, was looking at real estate in Galveston.

About 3 p.m. a low-flying pelican distracted him as he traveled north on Interstate 45 just south of the hurricane levee near Omega Bay.

The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone, and the car’s front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon.

The Veyron’s powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.

    I’d get my blow dryer out for this one… wonder if they will part it off or sell it.

    Lol, that really sucks. But if the person that put it in the lake could afford the $1.6 million price tag they can probably afford another one.

    That wreck is wicked. Sucks to be him, how embarrassing.

    My question, though, is why the two dudes filming the thing didn’t stop to help when they saw the guy wipe out? Its like, wth, you can film him but you can check to see if maybe his forehead didn’t hit his doorframe at 100 mph? I think Seinfield would have something to say about that.

    Why in the he** did he or anyone not shut the engine off? Wonder if his insurance company has heard the pelican excuse before? lol

    I don’t think Bugatti would let him buy another one after what happened. Having this attitude towards such a car is outrageous! Don’t let him buy another, Bugatti people!!! :) )))))))
