Jay Leno is a car nut and especially so when it comes to Bugattis. Here’s the latest edition of ‘Jay Leno’s Garage’ in which John Hill, Bugatti’s Director of Marketing for North and South America, stops by with one of their chief engineers and a test driver for some geek chat. And a spin, of course.
Back in 2003 when Bugatti announced the Veyron 16.4 (the anything-but-standard coupe) was ready for order, the company announced it would make a max run of 300 units. Some thought they’d never reach that goal what with a global recession, an astounding price tag, and equally astounding maintenance costs. Luckily for those of us obsessed with the world of motorcars and what vehicles like this mean to an industry on the receiving end of ever-growing scapegoat eco-legislation, Bugatti has announced that a European customer has ordered car #300. We’re still jealous.
The first Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has arrived in the US. Not just the first, but the vehicle is 1 of the 5 über-exclusive ‘World Record Edition’ models finished in the now iconic black and orange. The official ‘fastest production car’ retails for a cool $2.58 million. Though it was delivered to Symbolic Motors in San Diego we’re assuming some lucky billionaire has already snatched it up .. probably before we even knew of its existence.

[/caption] Bad things happen to good cars and these are the ones that make us cry. This Bugatti Veyron Gran Sport, worth well over $2 million, crashed on the Autobahn while traveling at a brisk 125 mph. Another vehicle while neglecting to pay enough attention to their rear-view mirror pulled out in front of the Bugatti to pass a 16-wheeler. Unable to slow down in time, the driver of the Gran Sport attempted to squeeze through the gap without enough room to do so and clipped the back of the truck. While…
[/caption] Our friends over at Jalopnik have secured two photographs of Shelby SuperCars’ new Ultimate Aero II, the car they hope will reclaim their fastest production car record back from Bugatti and the Veyron Super Sport. While the design of the original Ultimate Aero TT appeared to be so derivative it resembled something we would have drawn on our text books in middle school, the new car has been penned by none other than Jason Castriota. Jason’s previous work, most notably the Ferrari P4/5 and Stile Bertone Mantide, are evident throughout the Aero II. The…
[/caption] While debuting the new Veyron Super Sport this past weekend at Pebble Beach, Bugatti also released the full specifications for their newest ware. In short, it’s fast and thirsty. The Super Sport’s W16 engine is confirmed to be packing 1,200 horsepower and mated to its 7-speed DSG gearbox 0-62 mph comes in a neck-wrenching 2.5 seconds and 124 mph in just 7.3 seconds. Fuel economy come in equally low with 6 miles-per-gallon city and 16 mpg on the highway. And to no surprise, it requires 98 octane fuel. To reduce tire wear, top speed…
