Close Call for Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport During Hill Climb


What’s the point of owning a 1,001PS (987hp) supercar like the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport if you can't actually have some fun in it?

Of course, having fun and crashing a $1.7 million exotic are two very different things, but fortunately for this overenthusiastic Veyron Grand Sport driver, a mishap at last weekend's Prescott hill climb did not end in tears.

Video follows right below the break.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Fbg by Hermes: Official Image Gallery

Revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Fbg by Hermes is a special edition version of the 1,001 Hp supercar that was created in partnership with Hermes, a French fashion house that specializes in leather goods. The fashion-pimped Veyron features a two-tone carriage work (in toning colors of ebony and étoupe, or ebony and brick) while the same theme is carried over in the cabin that’s been dressed in bull calfskin leather.

Additionally, the leather-lined trunk holds a specially-fitted "Toile H" and leather case, hand-made by craftsmen from the Hermes workshops. In the rare case that you’re not only interested but also capable of paying the 1.55 million euros or about 2.4 million USD (not including tax) that Bugatti is asking, the Veyron 16.4 Fbg by Hermes will be available at the end of the year. – 31 Images after the jump

Bugatti Type 12-2 Streamliner: 2+2 GT Concept Design

To our knowledge, Bugatti’s near-future plans don’t include the addition of an all-new model and in particular a GT. But lets say owner VW Group wanted to create a 2+2 seater to take on the likes of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti; what do you think it would look like? 31-year-old freelance designer Reuben Zammit from Malta has an idea as he penned a four seater Bugatti with a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Zammit’s Streamline Type 12-2 design concept was created to fit the VW Group’s twin-turbo W12 engine (hence the name Type 12-2). Check all the renderings right after the jump. -Continued

Bugatti’s Special Edition Hermes Veyron Scooped

Bugatti has joined forces with Hermes to create an ultra limited version of its 1.001 HP Veyron supercar. In case you’re wondering, Hermes supplied leather for Ettore Bugatti’s cars early last century.

The above picture was taken by the guys at “Caradvice”, and according to their sources, the Veyron Hermes will make its public debut at the Geneva Show next month. Apart from the ultra high-end interior package, the special edition model seems to feature a series of exterior mods including the two new vertical slats flanking each side of the grill.

Autoblog Drives The 1001 HP Bugatti Veyron

Now isn’t that neat; a blogger taking one of the most exotic, powerful and of course, expensive cars of our time for a spin.

You can check out Jonathan’s impressions by clicking the link below. PS: I wonder how many “I hate you” comments he’ll get by the end of the day LOL!
