    Rare Bugatti crashes into trees!



    A car worth more than £800,000 was involved in a collision with a van before crashing into trees.
    The accident occurred in heavy rain on a 40mph section of Renfree Way, Shepperton, Surrey, on Sunday.

    The rare Bugatti Veyron collided with a Vauxhall Astra van carrying a pregnant woman, who was taken to hospital as a precaution but later went home.

    No one else was hurt but police have reported the Bugatti driver for driving without due care and attention.

    Surrey Police said the luxury car was driven by a man who had a male passenger with him.

    A man and a woman were travelling in the Astra.

    The accident occurred at 1440 GMT and the road was closed until 1630 GMT.

    The eight-litre, hand-crafted Veyron has a top speed in excess of 250mph.

    The 1,000 horsepower Bugatti can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 2.5 seconds.

    I bet the guy was like, "oh look I crashed my car. Lets buy another one."

    YES!

    Before a Supercar can really be called a supercar it has to be crashed in a ridiculous manner.

    Remember Rowan Atkinson crashing a Mclaren F1 into a Mini and nearly writing it off?
    Also, that millionaire's son who took his day-old Enzo out and tanked it...killing himself. The Enzo had 9 miles on the odometer. Brilliant (not for the kid, of course).

    I hate the Veyron anyway, good riddence.

    This is like the 2nd fastest car in the world I've read. That wasn't smart to crash it.

    That's one expensive car...But if the money ain't an obstacle, then why not... But yeah, that makes a big man cry.

    I just checked and that is correct. I thought it used to be the fastest a few years ago and then another car was produced that beat this one. I think I read that from Howstuffworks.com or some other site. Maybe it's not out yet so it's not currently the fastest.

    As i know buggati can reach 420km/h teoretical speed, it has V16 engine and 1001 horsepower run via 4 turbo injectors, i realy doubt that there is car who will beat that.

    i guess if you buy a car with 1001hp and 401kph max.......these things are bound to happen

    whatever....rick james would say "why i wrecked his car? because he could afford to buy anotherone!"

    I don't know. If that was mine, I don't think I'd be crashing it into any trees. I don't know why, though. That just doesn't seem like the best thing to do with an expensive car. Maybe I'm just crazy. Not Britney Spears crazy...



    ...but still crazy, nonetheless.

    Watch your language, please. Joking or not...if the word is censored, do not find ways around it so it is more viewable in your post.

    Because everyone is touting it as a technical masterpiece. It's not in my eyes. Anyone can take a massive engine and stick 4 turbos on it and make it do 252MPH. It's just a fat car with a big engine. I'm not interested.

    Don't be so sure about that



    Koenigsegg CCXR

    4.7 Litre Bio-fuelV8
    Twin Rotex Superchargers
    1018BHP
    1060Nm (781 lb.ft) Torque
    1180Kg

    And all in a car that doesn't look like someone's taken a footpump to Jaguar S-Type

    Bu bye Veyron, we have our new king (and much more handsome than it's predecessor).

    Well they can't really and neither can Bugatti/VW because they are too expensive too make, which is why they only made a few.
    When they were first on Top Gear Clarkson said they only mde them to prove it could be done and that they cost £4million to make to be sold for £850k
