(from Bugatti Press Release) From 11th to 18th October 2005, the new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was presented in Madonie in
Sicily, an area known throughout the world as the setting for one of the most illustrious motor races, the Targa Florio. For the first time,
on the roads of the legendary course and on the Autodromo di Pergusa in Enna, a wider group of media professionals were able to
convince themselves of the qualities of this new super sports car. As Dr. Thomas Bscher, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.,
explained: “It is no accident that Bugatti is presenting the new Veyron here in Sicily.
Here in Castelbuono I can state clearly – and this is a source of pride for us all – the Bugatti marque is alive and the new Bugatti Veyron
16.4 will ensure its future!”

Don't understand how on the 2nd pic, you can't see the grils of the intakes/airdams...which leads me to assume that they've been doing some choppin' here.

I say we all chip in and buy one of those. Kinda like a timeshare. Damn i wonder what it's like to drive one of those. So fast it blows women's clothes off.

That guy is driving the car like it was a used camaro! I would hate to see the scratches (third picture) on the back of the car after that drive!

shimshimhada · 03-15-2006, 05:50 PM

I'm pretty sure Bugatti has the resources to fix some scratches.

Funny enough, it looks smaller in person than I thought it would. About 2 months back, Bugatti had one floating around here for a few days, giving test drives out for prospective buyers. If you saw the pics/vids of a dark Veyron running around on city streets about 2 months ago, I bet that was the one. I had taken some crappy cell phone pics of it: http://www.t-mobilepictures.com/2837222/BugattiVeyron

I also had a chance to see this supercar up close at the Geneva Motor Show. Yup I gotta say it was suprising to see so much car in such a compact package.
