Top speed of 288MPH

To make all the other Veyron owners feel inadequate

Bugatti producing veyrons that dont have the top speed record is a pointless exercise - hence the need for this one. They have to keep updating it to keep ahead of the silly Americans, no point losing £5 million each car unless you can say its the fastest.

Agree, but I think the picture of the rear looks great. Much better than a standard Veyron. Front looks bloody stupid though.

288mph? 12mph more and 300mph would be the ultimate trophy. 1.8s to 60 though?! What the hell lol

Original Veyron and the later supersport obviously have similar aero. Assuming both are optimised for vMax (which I think is a fairly safe assumption) > Original 987bhp Veyron would theoretically need 1626 bhp to hit 300mph > 1184bhp Supersport would theoretically need 1660bhp to do the same. The Supersport would only need 1470bhp to hit the claimed 288mph of the new car. Looks like cooling this level of power remains a challenge....

We quoted the original slow Veyron as part of a personal fleet policy a long time ago. Even with a great driving record, good area, max NCB blah blah it still came to thousands.

Hardly surprising that any claim on the car would be five figures easy.

Yep, and at the time the car hadn't been out long. And if it had been damaged and required repair, it's not as if it can go to a local repair centre the whole claim would be incredibly complicated.

As a percentage of the cars value its probably cheaper than a lot of people would pay on something boring.

I've heard of high value vehicles (F1/CGT etc being covered at 1% of value) which is as pointed out percentage wise way less than you'd pay for most vehicles.
