Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Cost of Ownership

Osiris · 03-30-2011, 03:27 PM

little fact i heard on a Top Gear episode: They said that it costs VW over 5 million to produce one veyron but only sell it for 2. Apparently it's one of those "see if we can build such a car" type of things.

But if i had 2 mill and 300k maintenance money to burn...i think i'd buy a couple nice Ferrari's, Lambo's, Ducati's, and have enough left over for a Charlie Sheen hooker binge!!

Dam, at 250k a year I probably could have swung it, but 300k nope.

BTW, Jeffblue came up with the term "Veryonomics." If you do the math the costs work out to the same as just about any performance car on a relative basis.

Tires for a 370 might work out to around 2-3% of the brand new purchase price. Same for the Veyron.

I'll never understand how the school systems screwed up so much. I went to public school and I am a geographical beast.

The fact that they were losing money on it was based on their inital production run. They had originally said thats all they were making, but they made more and now the ss version. Id be curious to see if they came out of the hole yet with the added production

I'm bored with my Veyron, tbh. It's just so slow.
