The Bugatti Veyron may be the king and queen of hypercars, but nobody can say the thing is priceless. With anywhere between one and three million dollars, depending on which example of the 450 production run you want to grab, you are free to become an owner. In case you want something linked to the Veyron that’s priceless, the adjacent clip may serve as a good answer.
The footage shows a parking barrier hitting a Bugatti Veyron on its carbon fiber head. The incident took place at a recent Bugatti lifestyle event, where five examples of their four-wheeled gem showed up.
As the cars were making their way into the car park, they had to go though a barrier. One of the Veyron drivers attempted to pass right after the one in front of him, as if the parking entry would’ve been free of any restraints. The barrier obviously closed on the hypercar.
This only goes to show how little certain supercar and hypercar drivers care about their ride. Many drivers have looked at parking barriers with fear, not wishing for these to trade paint with the rides, but not this guy.
The staff at the scene did their best to help limit the damage, but, if our ears aren’t lying to us, the driver is heard swearing the valet who’s trying to keep the barrier from scratching the roof of the hypercar. Oh well, at least the guy didn’t drive his Veyron into a lake as an insurance fraud.
On a more positive Veyron note, the Veyron successor spyshots just came in and it looks like we are dealing with an 1,500 HP hybrid... Steampunk Bug.
