ok, even if i can stump up the mill to buy one, i just couldnt afford to run it. but why does it cost 12k for a basic service. does it require vintage champagne in the sump ?

and how much are tyres for one ?

Tyres are around £1600 and you get free new TPMS sensor and valve with every tyre change (not the standard BERU OEM sensor but an F1 spec sensor).

Bloody hell, your right. That'll teach me not to do my homework.

I built some of the TPMS sensors for these and remember being told the tyres were 1600 each, but that was when they were developing it.

Maybe I had the decimal point in the wrong place :Blush2:

Seriously Bangor Lad, you had no idea what a Veyron was..? :1zhelp:
You obviously have no electricity in your cave :p

Thats the standard version (at least 1001hp)

Thats the supersport version (at least 1200hp)

Some eyewatering running costs (for us mere mortals)

1st service will set you back over £13000.
This involves 40 litres of oil apparantly (probably not just the engine, but probably transmission and diffs also. I bet they go through some abuse)

Tyres are £6000 each. Bugatti recommends they are changed at 2500 mile intervals . They probably don't last much longer anyway.

Every 4th tyre change (10K) Bugatti recommends a wheel change.. They are £30000 a set!!
