Qatar Motor Show: Bugatti Introducing Custom Veyron Grand Sport Special Edition

I am a sucker for a one-off vehicle especially when the one-off is a variant of the fastest production car in the world. Bugatti will introduce yet another version of their Veyron, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Special Edition at the 2012 Qatar Motor Show.

Score That Bugatti Veyron 1, Tuned Nissan GT-R 0

If you own a car like the Bugatti Veyron in south Florida, there aren’t many places where you can mat the go-pedal, at least for long. One of the better options is Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR), which used to be called Moroso Motorsport Park. Aside from the fact that the track is in the middle of nowhere, and has absolutely no elevation change (like every other track in Florida), it isn’t a bad facility. Its drag strip is often open to the public, and its road course can be run with an instructor or during high-performance driving events. Read more…

Lust-Worthy Cars In The Canyons Of Southern California

Southern California is the center of the collector / exotic car universe, and nowhere is that more evident than the canyons of Mulholland Highway, near Malibu, California. YouTube poster RNickeymouse makes a living by filming motorcycle riders in some of the better corners, then selling them the footage and stills. Occasionally, he captures a few cars worth noting, too, like the ones in the video below.

If you’ve got a keen eye, you’ll spot Jay Leno (twice, in fact), and the list of cars captured is pretty impressive. There’s a Ferrari 599 GTO, a McLaren MP4-12C, a prototype Audi eTron Spyder, a few Ariel Atoms, a Caterham 7, a Bugatti Type 57 SC and even what looks to be an original Shelby Cobra. If idiots crossing double-yellow lines mid-corner raise your blood pressure, there’s some sweet justice in the middle of the video, too. Read more…

Can’t Afford A Real Bugatti Veyron? How About A Copy?

Let’s face it: the list of people who can afford to buy a Bugatti Veyron is a short one, and the list of people who can afford to drive and maintain a real Veyron is even shorter. The annual major service runs around $20,000, and a set of Veyron-specific Michelin tires runs around $35,000. Every four sets of tires (roughly every 20,000 miles, since the tires only last 5,000 miles per set) the Veyron requires new wheels, too. Read more…

Want To Buy A Cheap Bugatti Veyron?

When it comes to buying used cars or bikes, I have two primary rules to follow. First, never buy a vehicle with a salvage title, and second, see rule number one. Just in case you’ve never heard the term before, salvage title vehicles are ones that have been written off by insurance companies, then re-purchased (at a fraction of the original value) either by the owner or at auction. Some states even frown on registering vehicles with a salvage title, and finding insurance may take more than a few calls. If you’re trying to sell one, don’t expect to get more than a fraction of what a regular-title vehicle would sell for. In short, salvage title vehicles are the red-headed stepchildren of the automotive world. Read more…

Veyron Replacement Given Green Light

If you’ve been holding out on buying a Bugatti Veyron because it just wasn’t fast enough for you, even in Super Sport trim, I’ve got good news: AutoExpress is reporting that a replacement for the storied supercar has been given a green light. If rumor is to be believed, the Veyron’s replacement will push the envelope as much (or more) than the original car did. According to inside sources, the new car will be lighter and even quicker than the Veyron it replaces, but don’t look for a significant change in the car’s unique styling. A Bugatti Veyron must look like a Bugatti Veyron, no matter what. Read more…
