Bugatti Veyron interesting facts

Found this off the net. Interesting to note that VW loses some GBP4.25mln for every Veyron sold!

Some other interesting stuff...

Trivia ( Bugatti Veyron )

* In a speed race, if the McLaren F1 were allowed to reach 120 mph before the Bugatti started, the Bugatti would still be the first to reach 200 mph, according to the host of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson.

* In one of Top Gear's races, Richard Hammond and James May attempted to beat Clarkson in a race across Europe using transport other than a car, from Italy to England to transport a truffle. Clarkson used the Veyron, while Hammond and May used a variety of transport, with May flying the Cessna 182 due to his newly obtained pilot's licence, and the use of the Eurostar, when it was revealed that May was not qualified to fly at night.

* The Transformers: Cybertron character Crosswise transforms into a noticeably modified Veyron.

* According to Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, Volkswagen's cost per Veyron is approximately £5 million (ie VW would lose £4.25 million on each Veyron sold).

You're joking, right?
Either that or Jeremy's joking!
Are they (VAG) out of their minds....?!?
All that money could have been better spent to make cheaper VWs (I love the new Golf MkV GTi... yummm!!!)

Justice done than! I cannot forgive him for beating to pieces the poor Kelisa and his tongue for using all the negative remarks under the sun. Did you guys saw that video clip?
