    Man, I hadn't been aware that Volkswagen had bought Bugatti. All the noble brands of yore belong to some mass market outfit these days. :cry:

    Its been a bit of a disaster right from the start. Ffirst they announced the specs, then when they went to build it they realised they couldnt. Once they reached 1001 bhp, by bolting on 4 turbos, it was too powerful for the rest of the car which had to be re-designed. Once it was almost there they realised at the high speed promised it was uncontrollable, so they re-designed yet again, so now it reconfigures itself when you reach the high speeds.

    Some good stuff here

    You could totally get chicks with that car. Well, as long as they didn't realize that it's a VW anyway.

    If it changed into a flying dude carrying a laser cannon, I would totally buy one.

    VW owns a lot of brands, doesn't mean much.. this particular Bugatti has been in production for awhile, I remember seeing models quite a few years back.

    VW owns:

    Volkswagen (duh)
    Audi
    Seat
    Bentley
    Skoda
    Bugatti
    Lamborghini

    But yeah the Veryon has had some major issues.
