Default Got to see a Veyron
I'm not sure I would fit comfortably into it.
Pretty damn cool to see first hand and get to see the craftsmanship that goes into these things.

This was at the Porche dealership in Naples. I guess they are also a Bugatti shop.

Commence the drooling.


















I had to laugh at the scraped up underside. This picture was taken with my camera sitting level on the ground. This should give you an idea of exactly how low it sits.

I'm pretty big. 6' 2"

Didn't have a sticker price on it. But i'm pretty sure its on the north side of 1 million.

I would love to have 922ft-lbs at 2200rpm!!!

I was thinking the same thing I always pictured it as a bigger car and wide also but it does look small compared to the guy standing next to it

Does the gross weight say 4850lbs? Kind of heavy for something that fast.

Nice car, but dumb dealership.
