Crashed Bugatti Veyron...

A moment of silence, for one of the greatest cars in human history, has been wrecked.

Only 300 were ever built. I wonder how many are left?

show as this link

Dunno why it's greylisted, there's nothing bad about it. The pictures tell the story, and it doesn't look like the guy was driving like a complete jackass. With a car like that though, it's only to be expected that most of them will be totalled, as the people who tend to be able to afford them have no idea how to drive.

Holy Hell thats Crazy~!!

Luckily it should be able to be repaired... Wonder who was cited and then what their insurance company will do about it.

how...why...

oh my god! did he bought his license?!?
a car like that makes you feel invincible, but obvious you're not!

"Maintenance will be possible at Bentley dealerships, but repair service will require a flown-in mechanic, whom the company promises will be available 24 hours a day."

# Zero to 60 mph (97 km/h): 2.5 s
# Zero to 100 mph (161 km/h): 5.4 s
# Zero to 150 mph (241 km/h): 9.3 s
# Zero to 200 mph (322 km/h): 20.2 s

From wikipedia

i wouldn't want that repair bill...

NNNOOOOOO.. why is it everytime they make a mechanical marvel someone ruins it

It could be potentially the highest single car insurance claim ever!

And answering the question how many are left, it would still be 300, as it isnt destroyed!
But if that was written on by the insurers (most likely!) there would be 299 left, as this is the first recorded crash of a Veyron! Trust a Brit to Crash it first!

Why go 100mph in the rain anyway?

Only the super rich idiots with the big bucks and no brains
The guy was a complete jackass! In the rain at that speed? WTF! Was he thinking?! Wait he was'nt thinking.

You would have to breath on that accelerator and be doing 100mph, in the rain or not!

I reguarlly hit 80mph in the rain, and its perfectly fine in a golf gti mk3, he was in a Veyron, a performance car that also should be fine at 100mph in the rain!

so not really an idiot for driving in the rain, just an idiot for crashing!

The guy paid £20,000 a day to drive that car. What did you expect him to do, drive slowly??

Just a one piece of shit out of the roads. Good.

No, the car. I never liked it anyway. Nothing fascinating in it. You can find lots of more special cars out there.

Man you have no clue what you are saying, the Veyron is an amazing piece of engineering

Why the fuck everyone always tell how amazing it is? No, it's a dull looking and too fucking expensive shitbox imho.

Where skyline can output 1200hp from 2.6 liter inline-6 with 2 turbos, Veyron needs 8 liter W16 with 4 turbos to output 1001hp. Really impressive.

I have a video where skyline does 0-300km/h in 13.7 seconds.
Bugatti needs 16.7 seconds.

God I love modified cars with some real effort.

Damn I forgot it is IMPOSSABLE for a hiperformance street car. Or any car to hydroplane on wet pavement. At 100mph. If that's what happened. My bad...

Yeah but Modded cars are not the future, i compare the Veyron in engineering terms to the Concord, its the worlds greatest personal vehicluar engineering feat, mass (sort of) produced time and time again.
Modded Skylines are amazing, but if they were meant to have 1000+ bhp, then They would have been made like that from the start.

Veyron = Class = superiorority.

Put the two cars next to eachother, and everone wouldnt even bat an eyelid at the modded skyline, no matter who lairy the graphics were!
