To get there I believe the body shape will actually deform to create less drag and also create a light amount of lift. Also heard that the tyres only last approx 15mins at top speed. But that's okay because a full tank of fuel gets used in 12minsThat's kinda scary.

Felix Large Member Member 564 Member For: 18y 3m 4d Location: Brisvegas Posted 03/04/08 07:19 AM Share Posted 03/04/08 07:19 AM Ummm think there is a misquote there, that car is worth 4.3 million AED, which is about AU $1.3million. Bugatti Veyron Pegaso Edition. The plates that were purchased along with C 2 through to C 12 would be worth alot more.Urban legend story attached to the pics... Quote hes a russian guy who lives in burj al arab. he hangs out with/works with sheikhs as far as I know. his collection of cars are the following (correct me if im wrong - and im sure there are some I havent mentioned): red on white pegaso edition bugatti veyron (plate C 1), white mclaren mercedes slr special edition (plate F 12), yellow pagani zonda F (plate F 13), white maybach 62, black benz G55, red ferrari f430, white lambo murcielago, a 760, a hummer H2 and probly loads more... The man, who happens to actually live in Dubai's Burj Al Arab seven-star hotel, snagged himself a Bugatti Veyron and then decided it was necessary to spend a little bit more money with some pimper of autos who's recycling the name of an old Spanish coachbuilder that worked with Alfa Romeo and Ferrari during the 1950's to boost the output on the machine by an extra 200 horses. That brings the final number to an absolutely ree-dic-u-luss 1200 HP, and we're thinking may even pop that top speed well over the 250 MPH+ mark it's already at — unless of course it just explodes. But really, our only question here is — does the man wipe himself on the toilet with hundred dollar bills, or does he pay someone to do that for him? Oh yeah, and the going price we're assuming is significantly more than the $1.2 million for the standard Veyron.There was a 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe that sold for $8,700,000 in the 80's.

Well, if it is only $1.3 million. Was waiting for the new FG T Ute but seeing it's so cheap should just get one of them. Dont know where the hell I will put all my work gear though. I will just check the Bugatti site, might be able to option a towbar for a trailer.Cheers,Geoff Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44152-the-most-expensive-car-in-the-world/#findComment-653981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bugatti is limited to 405 due to the tyres only being rated to that speed, and its not recomended to stay at that speed for anymore than a couple of minutes unless you want the tyres to let go. Not exactly sure how long it is though, I've read it somehwere but can't remember, but outside of a high speed bowl where could you find the room to do it anyway, and it drains the tank at full speed in 12 minutes.
