Bugatti

Ettore Bugatti, an Italian man described as an eccentric genius, founded Bugatti high performance vehichles in 1906. The original company is legendary for some of the most exclusive and fastest cars in the world. The original Bugatti brand failed like many marques did at the beginning of World War 2, and the death of Ettore's son, Jean, was also a contributing factor. The company struggled financially into the 1960s eventually being purchased for its airplane parts business. Today the name is owned by Volkswagen AG who revived the brand as a builder of very limited production sports cars.

A 3 Million-Dollar Drive: Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador and Mercedes SLR McLaren Hit the Streets!

Indulge in this short clip of three of the world’s most celebrated supercars strutting their stuff on the streets of Arizona! It is a rare glimpse of a Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador and a Mercedes SLR McLaren doing a bit of team work in the showing-off department—a must when you own an exotic sports car of this magnitude!

A special thanks to Robert Simyar for sharing his beautiful fleet of exotic automobiles on YouTube, a bit of car porn goes a long way! Watching this clip puts me in the mood to grab a pair of shades and take one of our exotic car rentals out for a spin!

Birdman Adds Lamborghini Aventador to Arsenal of Exotic Cars

It is good to be Birdman—I just want to get that out there. The rapper has a virtual abyss for pockets and his taste in exotic sports cars is top-notch, which is an awesome combination! Not only does the Birdman own a Bugatti Veyron, Maybach Excelero and other mind and speed-blowing machines, he is also the proud owner of the new Lamborghini Aventador. Insert seething jealousy.

It is rumored that Birdman will receive delivery of his Aventador in December, and we are still waiting for our Lamborghini Aventador rental to arrive! I suppose it pays to be a famous music artist.

What Slows Down the World’s Fastest Car?

What can slow down the world’s fastest car, the powerful Bugatti Veyron? That would be a speed bump, as shown in the short clip below! The Veyron Super Sport is possibly the most coveted car available on the market, and footage of it in action are always in demand--like the pictures below of a Bugatti parked illegally in a disabled spot!

Supercar Hits Supermarket--Just a Bugatti at a Grocery Store!

Seeing a supercar in a supermarket is certainly a strange spectacle! It is quite rare to witness a Bugatti Veyron on the streets, yet one has been spied in an isle of someone’s local grocer. This set of wheels would be an awesome addition to that lame trip down the produce isle negotiating the shopping buggy with the inevitable bad wheel! Follow link for additional funny car photos--you know you want to.

Does this look out of place to you?

Video: A Very Bugatti Birthday Includes SS Edition Mereveillux!

I do not know who Simon is, but he received a very special birthday video from Bugatti to thank him for his Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Merveilleux purchase! What do you think of the carbon and chrome? This makes a fantastic gift idea, remember when Beyoncé gifted a Bugatti to Jay Z? Nothing spells love like the fastest and most expensive hypercar on the market!



Simon in China apparently treated himself to the Veyron SS Edition Merveilleux to celebrate his 40th birthday. To show their appreciation, the good people at Bugatti sent Simon the above video along with his new prized possession. Many in the video mention time spent with this Simon character, so one is left to assume he is quite an important somebody!

2012 Mosler RaptorGTR Vs. Bugatti Veyron

When you are officially the fastest car in the world until proven otherwise, you are going to have both official and unofficial competition…constantly. The 2012 Mosler Raptor GTR (a Florida-based supercar) is stepping up to record-wielding Bugatti Veyron, begging the masses to compare the specifications of the two supercars! I accept this challenge, thank you.

Why is the Maybach Exelero $8 Million?

Even the world’s fastest supercar is under $2 million USD…so why is the Maybach Exelero a staggering $8 million? Yeah, it packs a power punch and is certainly a luxury vehicle, but without bragging rights and world records, where is the incentive to drop that kind of cash?

Flo Rida Pimps Out His Bugatti…Literally!

Rapper Flo Rida seems to be very creative when it comes to protecting his precious luxury items…for example, he leaves his prized red Bugatti Veyron with a local exotic car dealer while he is out of town or on tour. The bonus? Aside from the car being defended against theft and the elements, Flo Rida pays nothing for the storage!

I assume Flo Rida’s DUI arrest in Miami cost him plenty, so saving on his storage is a bonus.

WTF: Just A Supercar Traffic Jam!

Traffic jams…hated by all…unless, of course, you find yourself confronted head-on by a gathering of supercars jammed together!  This scenario is not so bad. The video below shows around 150 exotic cars caught leaving Gurston House in England following…you guessed it…a supercar convoy! Video at bottom of post

Just a Bugatti with Custom Forgiato Wheels

The fabulous Forgiato Wheels has released photos of the first Bugatti Veyron to hit the streets on aftermarket wheels, following the Lamborghini Reventon. Should a Bugatti ever be altered from its original form--What do you think of the custom wheels on the matte white Veyron? Forgiato video at bottom of post.

White Hot Drag Race: Bugatti Veyron Vs. Koenigsegg CCXR

In the video below, you can see a clear winner in a white hot flash (I won’t give it away for you). The contestants are the Bugatti Veyron and the Koenigsegg CCXR—two hypercars who have been at each other’s jugular since their birth. Video at bottom of post!

How to Nonchalantly Take Delivery of a Bugatti Veyron

The most interesting man in the world may have multiplied! These two strapping fellas take delivery of the Bugatti Veyron supercar with the enthusiasm level one has when picking up Chinese takeout! It is unclear who the owner of the new Veyron is, as it seems the two guys are simply taking delivery for the actual owner.

 

 

Bizarre Bugatti Concept Busts Out

This Bugatti luxury car concept seems to have burst a lot of bubbles…because most comments on the YouTube page are negative and the car is quite a departure from the typical Veyron-esque shape! If this Bugatti concept makes it to production anywhere close to this form, there will be an outburst about the bubble-butted car…I gather this by skimming through the funny comments.

The Ugliest Bugatti is a Civic in Disguise!

Because the Bugatti Veyron is the fastest car in the world and possibly more attractive than Megan Fox, it does not surprise me that those who cannot exactly afford the million-dollar-plus supercar may mimic it. But a Honda Civic transformed into a Bugatti Veyron? This may be worse than the current condition of Charlie Sheen’s liver…which may be deteriorating as rapidly as Aston Kutcher gains 'Men' fans because he is all the awesome and none of the ego. Sorry, Charlie.

Megan Fox

Megan Fox...yes, please.
