Very Very Nice Car!!

I saw this video of this car and I love it!
I could only imagine how much it would cost though.
This is the car I want.

Set you back about £750k I believe. And if you have a heavy right foot you'll get around 3mpg (8.0 L quad-turbocharged)

yeah i remember watching a couple of top gear episodes where this featured in it.

really nice car but you cant buy it anywhere (one of a kind). i remember in one of the episodes they tried ringing up to see how much insurance would be and they couldnt find the car on theyre system so couldnt quote.

against the jet fighter was the best though!

I love Top Gear. I miss getting UK Programming. I use to watch UK Programming when I lived in Germany. There are some really funny commercials too!!

It's a bit of a bargin as well, they make (or probably made as the production run has probably been sold, if not actually built, by now) a huge loss on each one. You'd be a fool not to buy one, if you can find a bit of spare change from somewhere.

Top Gear is legendary! You can catch it on-line via the BBC I-player, but I have a feeling this is only available inthe UK I'm afraid - BBC iPlayer - BBC Two - All programmes - Page 1

Yeah, i seem to recall they cost going on £4 million to make.

EDIT: "After the release of the car, it has been reported that while each Veyron is being sold for £840,000, the production costs of the car are approximately £5 million per vehicle."
