    Yeah, thats a Bugatti Veyron, silver/burgandy paint job, I think it was spotted in the UK, London, on 8/21/06...It's from Dubai...

    Seriously, the Veyron is a really nice car.

    I know the Veyron is impressive but its still not impressive to me.

    Im more attracted to the Mclaren F1 than iam to the Veyron.

    Are you kidding me?

    I'd take the Veyron over the F1 anyday.

    That's cool.

    Touted as an engineering marvel, or the greatest automobile of the 21st century? Puleeeeaze.

    If someone made a kit car that was a perfect duplica of the veyron (and the veyron didn't exist), it would be laughed at for it's styling, and the power output would be seen for exactly what it is- not that impressive for the key bragging feature of a car with a pricetag over a million dollars.

    But on the bright side- "Oh man it's made by Bugatti!!!1111 Marvelous Spectacular!!! Engineering Marvel WoooO!!!!!!! GREatisT Carr EVAR!!!!1"

    Don't we already have an Official Bugatti thread?
    Veyron is ok, but EB110 > Veyron

    Supposedly that all black Veyron is actually a very, very dark green and black. Although every pic I've seen of it it looks black, who knows. I have several pictures of the car I will post later.

    I believe the all black one is owned by Ralph Lauren. Originally came as black/silver, as Bugatti would not make a solid color car, and he had the silver panels painted. If my sources are correct.

    I saw the car with my own two eyes from multiple angles and it is most definitely black/black. If there really was a color variation you would see it in my pictures.

    I'm not sure I believe the "owned by Ralph Lauren - he had the car painted" story as this car (along with all the other Veyrons I saw) was most certainly wearing VW Manufacturer plates when it was being driven around Monterey which is not something that would be legal if this car were indeed privately owned.

    The car will never be a real race car like the McLaren F1. The McLaren F1 won Lemans and the veryon will never even be entered in a race.

    here's the "ALL BLACK" which actually is dark green & black
    http://community.webshots.com/album/549868827fKwSKd

    You and most guys are missing the point of VEYRON ...
    as I have said several times:

    Veyron is not a performance oriented car
    but a luxury cruisier coupe which happens to be fast enough to spank most supercars
    a Bugatti is meant to be superlative and the Veyron achieves it very well

    for those who expect Veyron to perform in a track
    wait till they launch the Veyron GT version with even more HP and less weight

    rumour has it: they'll fit Veyron powertrain in a future Lamborghini

    2 different finishes would look really strange in my opinion.

    Using the Veyron Configurator website, it is certainly possible to select two identical colors for the Veyron.

    Here's Black/Black:

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Peloton25/temp/black_veyron.jpg

    Clicking on "Options" and "All Colors" will bring up that view.

    I'm sure in the fine print somewhere it said "Rules subject to change for people with ridiculous amounts of money". :D

    Thanks , they look beautiful in ALL combos

    I love it when they say:
    the contrast emphasize either
    the "SPORTY SIDE" or the elegant character of the Veyron

    that must answer everyone's assumptions about Veyron being a supercar
    which is NOT !
    so how come some expect it to be lightweight or even trackable
    not at all !

    I still think it looks like a fast bug, as in VW. After seeing several during Pebble, I am really glad I didn't put down a deposit.
