Love the idea of a "limited edition" Bugatti.

I would definately get one, hate to see two other regular Bugatti's in the supermarket carpark, how embarrassing!

If youve got the money to drop on an investment of that size, its almost guarenteed to double in value within the next 5 years! You cant drive a house or shares at 430km/h

After watching the TG boys struggle to maintain ~220km/h on those autobahns with the trucks pulling out, I wouldn't be game to pass a truck at the frankly ludicrous speed of 430km/h. Thats just insane.

Want one. Bad.

Top Gear should try dragging the MacLaren F1 with it again. The F1 clearly beat the "old" Veyron off the line and to a decent speed. Also the Veyron wasn't even on the top 4 of the fastest lap times on the track.

If you can afford the price, then the cost of a repaint shouldn't be a problem LOL
