The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is a stupidly quick car; we know this. It has a top speed over 431km/h and can reach 100km/h in just 2.5 seconds. Here, in this short teaser video, Chris Harris explains what that speed feels like.

Recent reports suggest Bugatti will shelve sportscars for luxury saloons once the Veyron has reached the end of its production cycle. With that in mind, now seems a good time to pay homage to the all-conquering Veyron. So, over the last couple of days AUSmotive has raided the Bugatti press archive and come up with [...]

Reports from Germany suggest Bugatti will end its sportscar production in favour of a return to luxury saloons. It is understood the next Bugatti creation will be based on the Audi A8 and should come to life in 2014. At last year’s Geneva Motor Show Bugatti presented the Galibier Concept (pictured above). The Galibier is [...]

If you think our Luxury Car Tax is bad then spare a thought for those unfortunate Bugatti Veyron buyers in India. You see, the Indian government laughs in the face of our measly 33% rate and says if you can afford to buy one Veyron you can afford to buy two. Only trouble is, you [...]

Well, with 1200 horsepower, 1500 Newton metres of torque and costing around £2,000,000 what else would you expect him to say? Him is Steve Sutcliffe from Autocar and the car is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Yep, that’s the one that set a new landspeed record back in June. The magic number then was 431km/h [...]

The 1200bhp Bugatti Veyron Super Sport recently set a new world record for the fastest production car ever made. The average top speed recorded during the record run was an astounding 431km/h. But what is it like around the Top Gear track? Watch the clip from episode 15×05 below and see just how the Super [...]

On 26 June 2010 this lairy orange and black Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, with 1200hp (882kW) if you don’t mind, set a new landspeed record for production vehicles. The bar has now been set at 431km/h. Astonishing! Following normal protocols for such records the top speed is calculated as an average of two runs in [...]

A 20-year-old Dutchman has had his father’s Bugatti Veyron impounded after doubling the posted speed limit in Rotterdam last month. The Veyron belongs to wealthy businessman Michel Perridon, who is a director of Trust International, former sponsors of the Red Bull Racing and Spyker Formula One teams. His son, Thomas, was caught doing 160km/h in [...]

This is the second and final part of the Bugatti Veyron doco. As noted in part 1, the Veyron provides some epic numbers, but it also brings with it some horrific over expenses, too. How does $17,000 for a set of replacement tyres grab you? It’s okay, though, because your tyres should be good for [...]

The Bugatti Veyron is an engineering masterstroke made simply because it could be. Or perhaps it is a vulgar exercise in excess at the expense of financial discretion. The only certainty is that the Veyron polarises opinions. Indeed, McLaren Automotive boss Ron Dennis reckons the big Bugatti is “pig ugly”. Dennis didn’t stop there, either, [...]

The images you see here are the work of John Mark Vicente, a recent Communication Design graduate at the Emily Carr University in Canada. Using a Bugatti Veyron as a base Vicente has penned a creation that would sit very nicely in the Batcave. The exercise formed part of the student’s university work and as [...]

You’ll remember yesterday’s sad story of the Bugatti Veyron taking a dip. Amazingly, the incident has been captured on video and can be seen below after the jump. Adding some humour to the tragedy is the expert commentary provided by the guys behind the camera. Let’s call them Lloyd and Harry: Lloyd: [murmurs] That will [...]

Now kids, this is why you shouldn’t talk on your mobile phone while driving, okay. It has been reported the anonymous owner of this Bugatti Veyron was having a yak on his phone when a pelican flew in front of the car’s windscreen. Startled by Mr Percival‘s fly-by, the driver dropped his phone, filled his [...]

With the Global Financial Crisis and all that hyper cars are selling for a mere portion of their true worth. Naturally, the exceedingly and obscenely wealthy are not even fazed by a minor correction like the GFC. And so it follows that the exceedingly expensive cars do not have their values affected by such trivial [...]

Car enthusiast heaven, otherwise known as the Autostadt, in Wolfsburg, Germany, recently saw its 18 millionth visitor through the turnstiles. Visitor numbers are nine years ahead of schedule. The Autostadt opened its doors on 1 June 2000, with predictions of 1 million visitors per annum. A figure which, in reality, has turned out to be [...]
