Just wondering what its like to live with? Is it a bit of a ferral beast like the CGT or more domesticised like the SLR? Also how big is it internally? would me a fat arsed 6'3 dude fit in it quite comfertably? Anyone driven one just for the sake of it...not just to reach vmax or prove that it defys phisics...i mean can you go down the shops in it or is it easy to reverse park? has it got parking sensors? etc

Finaly are they still doing the 2 tone combo thing? as in do you have to get it in 2 different colors? and can you pick the color of the wheels? Im thinking a all white car with black wheels or a black and raw carbon fiber car with black wheels?

cheers for any help guys

I'm 6'1 and thought the headroom was fine
One major difference to the Enzo is that it's no where near as loud on the inside (a combination of sound proofing and a crap exhaust)

Unfortunately I only got a short test drive, so didn't have the chance to take it down to Tesco

I have read that the UK Veyron allocation is complete however, I did read that on the internet so IT MUST BE TRUE.

Bugatti Beverly Hills have this on their site

With the current exchange rate it could be a good buy.

Romans have a Veyron sat in the showroom at the moment, a couple of guys were having a good look around/inside it on Sunday.

Surely the thing to do would be to roll up at H R Owen’s Bugatti sales office in your Enzo and make the same noises you are making on this forum about wanting to buy one.

From there I gather you will be flown from the airfield of your choice by Citation / Lear jet to Molsheim and whisked off for a day at the factory, drive one and thumb through the raft of options available for sirs delectation.

For what its worth I do know of somebody (not a PH’er) who did just that and he did admit it was no hardship and how readily H R Owen were willing to help.

Furthermore, there is a thread about a PH’er who made the trip, you’ll find the thread interesting and informative before signing up to eight and a half’s big ones worth of VAG DNA
