"Galveston County, Texas. We have a very rich neighborhood right next to the beach. I was stunned! Third or fourth Veyron Crashed A distracted owner of a Bugatti Veyron, one of the world's fastest production cars, accidently drove Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009, into a lake in Galveston, Texas. The driver was uninjured, but the car, which can sell for around $2 million, was partially submerged in three feet of water."


That is gonna be expensive!!!

RC4

he might have had to swerve for a child or something,why call him/her a twat? till at least you know the full story
insuance renewal will be hefty mind you if he/she can afford to run a veyron it will be pocket change
sad sight i.m.h.o

Rich_bloor

what i want to know is would a insurance company write a veyron off? how much did they cost to build anyone know? i heard volkswagen iirc took a big hit to make them,so obvoiusly parts must be dear as fook?

Mk1-stu

here's why. If the driver was going fast enough to land that far in the lagoon, then he/she is a twat. Even more so if there were children in the area for him / her to need to swerve and avoid.


that good enough for you ?

Veyrons are getting smashed left right and center at the moment - you see the amount of vid's & pics on the net with mangled ones ? i think it's quite funny that people buy these cars and expect to be able to drive them fast. fucking idiots.

bazzal

iirc the Veyron cost VW Ł5million to build each, and were making a huge loss on every one they sell.

i think this particular car should now be called the Bugatti Failron

3feet of water? if thats the case, the guy in the water must be about 10feet tall

kosman

so they would be taking a hit making spare parts? is there a law that says they have to make spares for em? if not then insurance would have to write it off and someone would make a fortune breaking it for parts.

Are you guys for real it ain't an RS or Cosworth ended up in there

Few grands worth of shonky old RS or Cossie or near Ł1million car on another fucking level

Physio

It's 'usually' people who are a tad jealous of someome having a nicer car than them that come out with daft comments like that

If it was a few grands worth of most 80s/90s Fords then there wouldn't be a picture of the car for the article as it'd have just just melted into a big cloud of rusty water as soon as it touched down in the water.

The rear spoiler also raises when you hammer on the brakes, which I'd do if I thought I would going to spear off into a lagoon.
