it must be nice to see one in real life, but god are they some fugly overpriced cars. They must not live too far away, or else they'd run out of gas half way to get it refilled lol

the front is way ugly but the back is ok....i guess

 
Rep Power: 317

well ok, to accomodate those of you who don't care for the Veyron...spotted one of these as well:

A guy in NC got a Skyline, its a nice car

actually, the cars can come from anywhere in the world. If you're refering to the Veyron running out of ga after 12 minutes, that's only when it's at it's top speed.

I'm going to post up pics of other cars that appeared for the week. People come from all over the world for this Concours...Cars here sell easily well over the million dollar range. One sold at an auction for $7.4 million. a 1967 Bugatti I believe...

This is also one of the types of places where the rich begin the process of purchasing one of these machines. There was a guy talking to the Bugatti rep, exchanging info as well, about getting one himself. Bentley, Rolls Royce also had reps there!

Crazy, the Veyron came in a targa top as well? I thought the Murcielago was the only car with a removable top to break 200 miles an hour.

 
Rep Power: 317

it's brand new...the one in the picture is production #001. It was auctioned off that night. ( I wish I knew how much it went for!)

When you purchase a Veyron, you get flown to the factory, given a tour of the place, viewing other cars for people while in production, and deciding on your interior fabrics & colors, exterior colors and materials that the skin is made out of

Quote from event Program:

Chassis Number 001 of the new 2009 production model will be sold on Concours Sunday at the Pebble Beach Auction presented by Gooding & Company. The high bidder will have the chance to specify the car in Molsheim/Alsace. Proceeds in excess of the MSRP will go directly to one of the Pebble Beach Concours charities--the Pebble Beach Company Foundation, which supports educational programs to aid the youth of Monterey County.

you mean 5 ground-going airplanes.
Who the **** cares what they look like. They are engineering masterpieces. Just cause you (or me for that matter or 99.9999% of the people on here) cant afford it, doesnt mean you should hate.

 
Rep Power: 0

how does thinking a car looks ridiculously ugly have anything to do with the price of the car? please take your insecurities somewhere else.

 
Rep Power: 236

All he is saying is who cares what it looks like, it's un-godly fast and an amazing engineering masterpiece. Sometimes it's difficult for ricers to understand functionality before cosmetics though I guess.

 
Rep Power: 280

lol just because it is fast does not mean it deserves respect.

Most gear heads will droll over a fast engine in a car that looks like crap like these cars and d00ds

Others will enjoy the fine lines and quality of a car's design, then appreciate the finely tuned engine.

Sorry those cars are made to impress tasteless individuals, much like a ferrari.

but..hey it is just my opinion keep your nickers on..

 
Rep Power: 280

This is a perfect example of my point. *waits for **** to hit the fan with OMGWTF waffles*

 
Rep Power: 236

I just think it's a very impressive vehicle and just for full disclosure I don't think it's ugly. If anyone hasn't seen it you should watch the Top Gear episode that showcases the Veyron with James May driving it to its top speed.

 
Rep Power: 251

they are nice cars but they break no new ground...if they were fuel efficient and that fast they would have more respect from the "plenty"

 
Rep Power: 317

if they were fuel efficient and that fast, they would be daily drivers, and we would probably all be on veyronforums.com....and there would be a lot more stupid ricers crashing these things.


sorry, just thought of that when reading your post

I love it how people call others ricers for not liking ugly fast cars. In fact that makes no sense so I'm not sure why you said that.

99% of all ricers have slow ugly cars.

 
Rep Power: 236

Don't cry about it I was just making a little jab, I wasn't calling you a ricer. I was just making fun of people who put form over functionality, which is what a ricer usually does (whether it's actually ugly or not).

 
Rep Power: 317

i wasn't calling anyone here a ricer...it was just a statement in general...

 
Rep Power: 365

wow the veyron is so controversial lalz

 
Rep Power: 236

^ apparently, although I don't understand why? Unless people are just ignorant to how truly amazing the vehicle is. I can't afford a Maserati MC-12 and I don't think it's very pretty but I don't hate on it... It's just a re-badged Enzo but I don't hate on either of them I appreciate them for what they are.

damn so many haters on this site!! If U want to hate then take ur *** to HT. If not stfu!!
