Upset that everyone and 300 of their brethren have a Veyron? Step up to the Veyron Pur Sang, one of only five being built.
What differentiates the Pur Sang is its aluminum body shell, which is made from an extremely pure alloy that Bugatti specified, as ordinary aluminum can polish irregularly. Underneath that skin is a carbon fiber monocoque which not only makes the entire car extremely light, but also incredibly safe - something worth considering when the 4,200-pound Veyron, which still weighs less than a modern Saturn Vue, has a top speed of 248 miles per hour.
There is no word on pricing, but the usual disclaimer about asking applies.
There are several pictures we took in advance of its reveal in the gallery.
Unfortunately, hackin' it is a way of life in auto journalism. Hemingway was able to drive an ambulance and write a book; most of these guys couldn't do either.
When I read the thread title for the first time, I thought it said Veyron Pur Wang.

I'm going to swap this engine into Iceland and rescue them from their financial crisis by doing a sweet burnout on Greenland.

Xzibit could learn a thing or two from Wendelin Weideking about pimping rides - the 911 has 14 different outfits, from the naughty-schoolgirl submissive Carrera to the alcantara-clad dominatrix GT3.
Never been a fan of "polished aluminum" cars...this one being no exception.
Nein danke.
yeah a pic of 50 cent's chrome lambo is posted and everyone wants to kill him for it but Bugatti is right on the money with this one
i'd still take it though
Look twice, save a life. Motorcycles are everywhere.
If you think the Subaru Impreza hatch is ugly in pictures, see it in real life. I thought it was disgusting, then I sat in one and played with the bells and whistles. Loved it.

I am tired of everyone and their dogs with a uber rare hyper car. Thank god that this one is only 1 of 5. But I want a 1 of 1, maybe made of gold plated diapers or something......geez.

Raining Blood is one of those songs where it comes on the system and people KNOW you mean business. it's not like some emo/R&B/top 40 dreck: it's a SERIOUS tune reserved for only the BEST of parties.
Ri-god-damn-diculous. Who buys this sort of thing?
yeah, yeah, Arab oil sheiks, I know.....
Taking a macro perspective though, in terms of global wealth, we're at the proverbial tip of the iceberg, with regards to the liquidity events generated by the retirement (and subsequent passing of) the baby-boom generation, Chinese economic growth, and various other trends. As much as this "Pur Sang" Veyron seems over the top, one has to wonder what is in store for the years to come.....
If you have an aluminum car, push the envelope a bit and do something different. Anodize it.
I would mash a a litter of kittens to death with a sledgehammer in front of a pre-school during recess to get a hold of a black anodized aluminum Veyron.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
something worth considering when the 4,200-pound Veyron, which still weighs less than a modern Saturn Vue...
There is nothing at all impressive about a supercar weighing as much (well actually a little less) then a Saturn SUV. The McLaren F1 weighed ~2,500lbs, the F40 weighed ~2,600lbs, the Zonda F weighs 2,800lbs. The Veyron is a pig of a supercar (it even has a snout). Give me any one of those three over the Veyron, you can keep your top speed and 1,000 hp.
On second thought, lets not go to The Car Lounge. Tis a silly place. "And this is the Lamborghini Murcialago SV... which is as mad and wonderful as the president of the country where it was made"
-Jay Leno sticks two in his garage, -Good ol Rasist Ralph the rickster Lauren buys one just to curate, -Lindsay Lohan backs this one off a cliff mid-coke snuff, -And finally.... Eddie Griffin crashes the last one on the set of his next cheeseball movie...
As for the car, I think it looks like a 1950s era aircraft.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?
But there has yet to be a head to head that I have seen.
True, but there its top time around the N-ring that I've seen is 7:40, tied with the LP640 and the McMerc SLR, putting it behind the Carrera GT, Zonda F, Koenigsegg CCR, and a few others according supercars.net's giant Nurburgring track times list-
Granted, we don't know the absolute specific conditions of each run or the difference in drivers, but none-the-less it is at least an indication of performance.
Now I know people are going to say, "but its meant to be a road car, not a track car." Fair enough, but personally, if I'm going to spend a million dollars on an ubercar, it better beat cars half its price, maybe thats just me. The Veyron is definitely an exposition of the best in street car technology, but that doesn't really seem to translate into a great performing car, at least not on a road course.
When Caparo was developing the T1, they did some number crunching to find how much power a car could have before the added weight and complexity made any more power pointless. They came up with a figure around 600hp or so which is interesting, because thats about how much power as the Zonda F, CGT, McLaren F1, Enzo, and T1 all have. Essentially they are saying that had they given the T1 a larger, stronger engine they would have actually lost out on performance due to the weight and drag.
