Default Actual Bugatti Veyron on Ebay!

apparently there is a Bugatti Veyron on ebay for sale?! it is one of the first 50 to be produced. i was browsing edmunds.com and saw this on their site.

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...icleId=106026#

This Veyron apparently comes with a VIP package? which includes a visit to the manufacturing plant at Alsace in France, a test-drive and a personalized driver-seat adjustment by Bugatti.

make sure to get your bids in now guys lol, its only at 1.7 million.

here is the link

It is just a bid for a SPOT of on the list to buy one.

The people with that kind of money will simply call dierctly and use business and and other influences to get on the list.

Those that are only super rich and influencial, and not mega rich and influential will just have to fight for the table scraps from the few speculators who manage to get on the list and then sell their alloted cars.

The bottom line is that I am sure, if you are not yet confirmed bespoke customer by now you stand very little chance of getting on the short list.

not weird at all... such a crappy car that they are going to sell at a loss. So now, they try to even up their loss by doing this.

I doubt there is any VIP package for a car like that. Every customer deserves all that stuff.

Engine: Unknown

I wonder if they are serious. Someone has already bid 1.7 million on it. Even I know that it is a quad-turbo W16, so how can they expect to sell this seriously . Anyone know when they will start producing customers cars? I know that they have just finished one of the 1st pre-production cars.

"It also has 4 turbo superchargers." :fist:

What the hell is a turbo supercharger. Supercharges run off a belt, and turbos run off exaust gasses. I am pretty sure that they are turbos

sounds sketchy to me, whoever wrote up the description knows nothing about the Veyron.

vw/audi are considering combining turbo and supercharger on the same engine to ensure low end torque and high rpm hp at the same time, this was done in racing cars before, some rally cars if I remember correctly; maybe EB has one of these, I don't know, but it is possible, as the car is supposed to have around 1000 hp (depending on rating used)
