When bad things happen to good cars, this hurts even looking at it, I'm sure it's an Insurance companies nightmare!!!

According to Sky news it was out on rental for 20K sterling per day.

For 20k I would have wanted to cause more damage to it than that! Gotta get your money's worth! If the indicator stalk fell off during the crash and you pocketed it you'd be 15k up!
 
Is Chris Brightwell (copywrite for the photos) collecting material for an insurance induction training course??
 
Some of you might be interested in this.

Cunningham Higgins Specialist Cars is offering you a chance to see the most expensive and powerful production motor car ever made at its garage this week.
Petrolheads, motoring fans, and passers-by will be able to see the Bugatti Veyron 16.1 in the Cunningham Higgins garage in the Briarhill Business Park all this week.
Yesterday the Bugatti, along with a number of other specialist cars, was showcased in the Clayton Hotel, and this week members of the public will be able to see the incredible machine.
The car will be displayed on the second floor of the Cunningham Higgins garage for the week
 
So how much would the owner be paid to allow his pride and joy be transported around the country to let us mortals drool over. Investment for sure, all he needed was the initial outlay
 
I'd love to see this...but Galway is a fair trip for 20 minutes of ogling. Plus I'd want to drive it...

You'd really need to get this thing on a track for a day to enjoy it properly. You'd kill yourself and other people if you tried to have fun on public roads.

That's a bit of a stretch; the 5m is the total cost of development divided by the number of units produced in the first year. It'd be like saying a 10m euro Punto is a bargain if they had only made 5 of them. (Assuming it cost more than 50m to develop.)

They are making a roughly €4m loss on each car. Only 300 will be produced and when the total costs of R&D are factored in each car will costs them €5m. It was purely a technical exercise by VW (owner of Bugatti) so prove that they could develop the most technologically advanced car in the world that it unlikely to ever be bettered by any other manufacturer. The Bugatti Veyron is the Concorde of the automotive world and with only 300 to be built will likely appreciate in value as a collector's item. I marvel at it form a technical viewpoint and the little boy inside me would love one but it is ridiculous.
