garcon magnifique Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Just been mentioned on the news on Radio 2! Said police were investigating the accident, and that the Veyron was in collision with another vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Looking at the damage, I very much doubt it was doing alot more than 40mph on impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think it was at a fair old speed, don't forget its made of carbon fibre which doesn't exactly break easily. I don't think we know the facts though, it might not even be the drivers fault if could be anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitas3 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm no expert but I'd be surprised if they write that off. When I saw it on the truck, only the front end was damaged with one drive shaft clearly visible and the doors will probably need work - the interior and rear end etc was unmarked.

CabGirl Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 If you can afford a Bugatti Veyron do you really want one that's been in a smash though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgwz Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 this car has been over on wreckedeotics.com for a week now this is their description This is the first Bugatti Veyron to be wrecked on the streets. It is the fastest and most expensive production vehichle in history, list price about $1.6 million. The Veyron was doing around 100mph when it spun out of control, spinning 3 times before hitting a Vauxhall Astra with a 7-month pregnant woman inside. It then smashed into trees up a 3 foot embankment. The Bugatti driver was with a younger male passenger. The car was taken away by the same truck driver who had delivered it to the owner just a week earlier. The owner is a businessman in his 40's who runs a rental car company with his brothers.
