I was never a big fan of Jay Leno as a t.v. show host and I've never really been a car enthusiast, but watching these videos have made me appreciate both a lot more. Seeing this guy's passion for the history and restoration of these vehicles makes me want to learn more about cars myself. It's seems like this is his passion and he is lucky enough to do the kind of work that pays the kind of money that allows him to indulge in his passion. We would all do the same if would could.
One thing about Jay. People criticize him for being loaded and just having cars as toys. One thing to keep in mind is HE REALLY KNOWS IS STUFF WITH CARS! He preserves them for future generations as well I think he takes it past hobby and gives back as much as he buys for himself. I think he is a good guy in this regard.
It's funny when he breaks in to professional presenter mode at the end as well. Normally he's so natural, sincere & understated in this show, but then you remember - oh yeah, he has super-polished TV presenter skills.
It's amazing how humble Jay is in a lot of these videos but damn it's strange to see him around cars like this, he has millions in cars yet is taken aback by the price of it all in one, gives you more respect for him really just from the way he treats and respects these feats of technology.
Of all the cars I've watched Jay drive here, this has the most (seemingly) effortless acceleration. It just goes! No loud exhaust note. No lag. Just pure, smooth, power. Incredibly impressive.
Lol same. I've heard this alot about the veyron over the years. I heard it's insanely fast even by today's standards. I've heard it's litteraly insanity on wheels pretty much.
What I love about Jay Leno’s Garage videos is that Jay really knows his stuff, he’s obviously hugely enthusiastic about cars, he has a fantastic car collection. He is just a real, genuine, authentic “Car guy”
+Fahad Alazraqi The guy seemed to be annoyed the entire time, the look on his face told me he was looking down on Jay as 'new money', and likely angry that Jay was going to wear denim into a $3,000,000 car...
Parth Shah Yes you're invited but as a newbie you'll have to supply your own nuts, mine are far too rare and needed for the Veyron when I've saved enough money to buy the lil devil :)
300 000$ for a clearcoat, i personally love the look of carbon fiber. and the weave from panel to panel matches. by that i mean it transitions almost like it was seamless. which on it's own is very time consuming and for a car to be painted they wouldn't bother puting in that effort.
Could spend $300k and buy 3 Dodge Demons. Each of which are faster getting to 60 then this car, and I personally think look far better. And you get your choice of colors. Lol. I bet alot more exciting to drive too.
@Brad Sanchez Alot of people compare it to a freaking beetle and say it's unrelayable but those are mostly koenigsegg fanboys that think the could handle 1000+ hp running on only the rear tires which I find hilarious. I think Bugattis are one of the few cars you should buy in this price class
@@Androm5da I’ve started too many wars for saying this, but I love both Bugatti and Koenigseigg. However, there are also a lot of people who agree with me.
I work for Weissach Performance in Vancouver BC. We are the Lambo and Bugatti Dealership. To answer the question about how much a littler of oil for a Bugatti is? It's $1400 a littler.
They Bugatti rep guy talking about the Veyron was really nice. The nicest "suit" I have sen on this show, he actually knew everything and was very professional and didn't talk about how it's "the fastest car, the most expensive" etc.
I love how Jay just leans on any car no matter how expensive it is. Your one in a million you Scottish goof ball. Live long car guy. I hired my cousin to follow me while I am driving my Bugatti just to clean the bugs off the windshield and put gas in it.
Its so nice to see Jay driving these cars he really understand the cars and not giving stupid questions. Really enjoyed this video. Its polite, gentle and down to earth review
I wish the person Jay spoke to was an engineer, not a bean counter businessman. You can tell the Bugatti rep is just recalling a script, he had no involvement in this vehicle other than the finances.
+kerk tp Yeah, that's pure profit. I'm betting it doesn't cost any different whatsoever to manufacturer. The thing is, these super rich guys will pay for it just because it's showing off that you can blow 300,000 without even caring.
+oisiaa i usedto work at a carbon fiber plant, it costs about as much as dyeing easter eggs to do the same with carbon. i about lost it when that stiff said 300k
+willi3blaz3 Is clear coat carbon fiber any different from painted carbon fiber? I assume that the painted version has the clear coat under the paint so if anything the clear coat should be cheaper.
@@howey935 I remember Jeremy Clarkson from UK Top Gear drove this, and he called a company and asked. After 10 minutes trying to explain to the person on the phone what car it was they just said - "No. We don't insure those" :P
@@compass412 Not really, as the rep said, the average owner puts on 1500 miles per year. Insurance companies know that a person who is attempting to insure this car would probably not be using it as a daily driver. Hence, you actually pay "reasonable" insurance rates.

Exactly my thought when hearing this. Sounds so much cooler if they would have said picture a V8 with another v8 worth of cylinders stacked on top of each side slightly offset or staggered as you said so poignantly
originally the "W" shaped engines had 3 banks of cylinders. the W16 that bugatti uses today is not really a W, it is 2 V's at 60° connecteed by the vertex.
+Cara Institute of Advanced Hypnosis I can afford a ball of lint if I can finance it for 10 years and if there was any lint to be found. Maybe 1 fiber of carbon...
Management. If you let the engineers talk, they will tell you about their grand ideas that would have made it better but management wouldn't accept the risk.
I love how Jay asks questions that he may already even the know answers to. I've learned so much from these videos and just enjoy the laid-back experience and intimacy. #TeachThePeople #SharingTheExperience #StoryTelling
Jay owns about 1,000 cars. Veyrons are not his bag. Jay would rather FIND a new old V-12 Packard that had been stored by an old car nut after he had filled the engine with motor oil and coverd it in a barn and Dropped dead. His grat grat grandchild wanting it to have a good home would call Jay and say "Please give it a good home"...LOL.
People have no idea how "high end" this car truly is until you stand next to one, and hear the engine. Then you just "get it". I cringe when some internet mechanic says "I'd rather have a Supra or GTR hurr durr". No you actually wouldn't.
I prefer the sound of a V10, so that automatically means I'd like the sound of something like... a Viper over this. And to be fair, sure, the Veyron is basically a luxury car and it'd be a nicer place to sit, but imagine trying to get the tires for it. And then imagine how much you'd spend a week on gas. I think they'd rather have the Supra or GTR for more practical reasons (providing they don't plan on building rice rockets.).
DeltaPhi79 Listen buddy, if you can afford a 3 million dollar car, you don't care what the tires or gas costs. People with this kind of money don't drive GTR's, and they certainly don't drive Supras lol.
Anders Kristensen You're right. Thing is, when they don't drive one of these, chances are they'd either want something that'll turn faster than a boat (I'm exaggerating, obviously) or something that won't break their back.
''Looks classic''.. It looks modern, ''Well equipped''.. It totally has seat heaters, a navigating system, an AWESOME speaker system, cruise control, traction control, an extremely efficient fuel consumption. Yup, you know an awful lot about Bugatti cars, please tell me more.
How the fuck can anyone compare the Hennessey Venom GT with this? One's a kit car, a stretched Lotus with a Chevy engine and Ford transmission and the other's a hand-built masterpiece.
+Kern O'Leary There is a you tube vid on build of the car , It will take you thru detail parts build up. Most all radiators if there a opening for air a radiators is located there.
the guy that was test driving with Jay Leno had the face like we wanted to say "Careful. mutherfucka, dont break a damn thing on this car! This goofball better fallow my instructions." Look at the test drive guy in the passenger seat's face. Just look at him, he is watching leno's EVERY move. lol
I love how Jay is shocked that it's $3 million, while in his garage he has not only a lot of vintage Bugatti's that are worth more, but also a 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC worth AT LEAST $30 million...!
The representative is as stiff as the chasis. I wonder if he has ever heard a funny joke in his life. He's also quite condncending in his tone towards Jay
PETER MAINWALD TBH I think its Jay Leno who is condesending. He's seem like he has no time for the expert. The german guy, Jens is one of the best automotive enginners in the world with an F1 background yet Jay can't pronounce his name and takes the piss about him.
I didn't get that impression at all with Jay's attitude towards Jens - seemed more relieved to be talking to someone more on his wavelength. The marketing director seemed "bothered" to have to answer any remotely useful question.
It's that expensive because they have to align the fiber weave from panel to panel, which is almost impossible to do. Otherwise it would like an 6 year old built it. .
Anyone else notice that he said "three banks of cylinders instead of two".He should have said "four banks of cylinders instead of two".You can't devide 16 cylinders by three.
I don´t think that he couldn´t afford the Bugatti, i think he doesn´t want to buy one, because his collection is so expensive and stuffed with that much cars that cost more than 2 million dollars that he could buy one easily.
19:29 hilarious when Jay tries to turn the key. He's owned or driven just about everything and tries to turn the key? I know he found that funny. It would have been even more funny if he broken it. That would be $45,000 Mr Leno. LOL
Well it was built to be the fastest in the world, not the most convenient... At the cost and speeds this goes, i wouldnt want drinks in my car; to spill and create messes in it or to damage it
The car cost $3 Million because it's made in France and it uses the most expensive materials and is all hand made by very well paid Craft Man, if all this was done in china the same car would cost $30,000 dollars, top speed 120 mph if lucky and you run the risk of everything braking apart on the highway surrounded by angry truckers, buy.....
plus its rarity, it is the fastest super car in the world *that is street legal and non track based and that didnt need a extensive or very curvy aero dynamic design or light wieght to reach its record top speed* , highest luxury standards of any of the fastest super cars, its advanced technology, and huge Brand name's reputation. Hahaha So eat that vemon gt and agera R.
While people like Jay have more money than he will ever spend in his lifetime, just miles away, are people living homeless and would happy just to have a half eaten doughnut they found in the trash. What a world we live in.
Plus, I used to help out at the local food kitchen, but could not handle what goes on behind closed doors. Those running it, keep all the good food that is donated for themselves and drive around in new cars and do not even need it and the scraps are given back to the public, who actually do need it. The pastor who runs our local shelter, is a millionaire, who became one, from leaching off everything and the shelter is run like a sweat camp. They force the people to work for free all day, and the money goes into the pastors pocket and most homeless rather sleep in a tent in the dead of winter, than to go there. They don't help people get back on their feet and you are not even allowed to have your own job and that is a fact. And the same thing happens there, all the good stuff donated, the pastors and their families take and the scraps are given back to the public and it is downright disgusting. Example, I helped bring in food that a wedding party donated, which consisted of huge trays of fried chicken, meatballs, pasta, huge trays of salad, trays of pizza, all kinds of stuff, which would have been a feast for the public that day. But no, the pastors and their families kept it all and only thing they gave back to the public was a small plate of pasta with a few drops of sauce on it. Yah I was told I could have a huge potion for myself to take home, I said no thank you, walked out and never went back.
Now I get it why so many people click this footage, just because of this 5 -million- dollar brand new modern sport baby. I thought Jay was gonna show me the classic Bugatti old grandpa car instead of this new baby that I have seen it tons of time in Top Gear. Nothing fun at all except the spike of adrenaline joy.
The point is that when this monster was made, it demolished all competition hands down (was there any “competition” at all ? ) it’s important to remember. This car was the ultimate machine. All others hypercars makers had to step back and review all they’re strategies after the Super Sport and just follow it. A Bugatti will always be a Bugatti. It’s simply the best car Brand ever created.
I thought the same when he mentioned the 3 banks, but on the other hand... VW has also sold VR5 engines not too long ago, they may as well design a hyper car with 5+6+5 cylinders. :P
How are you measuring yours? Here we use an averaging system that is virtually meaningless, but each grade is measured in the same manner so you get a relative idea of what you are getting.
Eric Esquibel Uhm it is not a different measurement system... Generally, in Europe, petrol is leaded and thus the octane level is higher, whilst in the majority of states in the US petrol is unleaded and have a lower octane level. There is no such thing as a metric octane system and an imperial octane system.... Octane is octane.
Yeah... except you're wrong. Most of Europe rates there gas by the RON rating while America uses the AKI rating system (which takes the average of RON and MON.) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
I'll never understand people that use "and" in the place of "an". Like, do you think people are saying "and" whenever they say "an"? e.g. if someone said, "I would like an apple", do you think they're saying, "I would like also apple"? Presumably, these are the same people who think you call something "bias" instead of "biased". Anyway, nobody will ever see this comment on an ancient comment string, so I guess I'm just talking to myself; just thought it ironic that someone could be so blatantly stupid while calling someone else an idiot.
I'd love to drive a Bugatti Veyron for it's speed., but I'd never want to own one, cause honestly I think it's hideous. If someone gave me one for free, I'd sell it. Just my opinion though.
eRa Hyznberg A quick Google shows that one of the main cons of adding sissor\vertical doors is extra weight. Means adding more strength and struts to the door so it can open and stay vertical without falling back down, thus adding more weight, not a lot more, but more. Lamborghini only do it for two reasons, wank-factor and that their cars are already extremely wide to start with.
10 years later, the specs of the Veyron are still insane! Although the Veyron isn't the fastest road legal car anymore, there are only a handful of cars that are faster. The fact that only a few cars have beaten it since 2005- 2008 shows how fast it is!
oil change require 27 hours and costs $21-$25k. A new set of tires (which must be changed as a set) will cost $30,000 and after the third tire change, a new set of wheels is required to the tune of $120,000

"How many times do you get to take a 3 million dollar car out?"
I'm guessing Jay does it 2 or 3 times a week, lol.
iPad hookup...
It's amazing how quickly these cars age.
17:58 he quickly moves the women's knickers he has collected while pretending it's his car 😂😂😂😂
Brilliant
would hve really been interested to see where these 11 radiators and 4 intercoolers and 4 turbos and 4 fuel pumps are located.. with 16 cylinders !!
+Kern O'Leary There is a you tube vid on build of the car , It will take you thru detail parts build up. Most all radiators if there a opening for air a radiators is located there.
+Kern O'Leary Most are up front, behind an intake or positioned underneath the car.
specifically engineered to be more expensive
Absolutely love the education. This is one of the most awesome and beautifully styled automobiles in the planet.
He also said "we opened up the front end a little more to draw in more heat".Should be "more air to draw out more heat".
Robert Longo yes I thought it was odd
the guy that was test driving with Jay Leno had the face like we wanted to say "Careful. mutherfucka, dont break a damn thing on this car! This goofball better fallow my instructions." Look at the test drive guy in the passenger seat's face. Just look at him, he is watching leno's EVERY move. lol
Lol I know that guy has a stick up his butt the whole time
That's funny actually lol. :D
P.S. Frank, do you work in ABB? There's ABB in Croatia and my brother works there. :)
he looks,because this car is owned by someone, its a really shame to break somethin on it ;)
aoprishor But DAMN it's liberating to know if you did, it wouldn't matter in the least....oh to be FILTHY RICH!!
filthy individual EXACTLY!
When I hit 115 in my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, I always wish I had a spoiler to come up.
You can always see the love Jay has for cars in his videos
I love how Jay is shocked that it's $3 million, while in his garage he has not only a lot of vintage Bugatti's that are worth more, but also a 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC worth AT LEAST $30 million...!
Yes, but those are one off vintage cars that weren't that expensive when new whereas this is a production car and each one costs that much new.
The type 57sc is a rebody not a true 57sc
The representative is as stiff as the chasis. I wonder if he has ever heard a funny joke in his life. He's also quite condncending in his tone towards Jay
PETER MAINWALD TBH I think its Jay Leno who is condesending. He's seem like he has no time for the expert. The german guy, Jens is one of the best automotive enginners in the world with an F1 background yet Jay can't pronounce his name and takes the piss about him.
yeah, he's like a Butler for cars.
+PETER MAINWALD He isnt rude or anything, he's on the job remember.
hes german.
I didn't get that impression at all with Jay's attitude towards Jens - seemed more relieved to be talking to someone more on his wavelength. The marketing director seemed "bothered" to have to answer any remotely useful question.
I bet if someone decided to turn off traction control the car might just take flight.
Krishnan Ravichandran yes it will fly and it will fly off a cliff hopefully...
Can't go too far with only 25 gallon gas tank
Krishnan Ravichandran You turn off the traction control and the car rejects you.
Jay is a great guy -- very humble. I don't think he is a great comedian but he treats people with kindness and respect and that matters more.
does jay own any other color shirts?
Yes of course but he wears what is effectively a uniform to present these videos.
RockRocky09 no
2:30
wait what it costs 300k to NOT put paint on it? wtf
geen naam No it's 300K to have the carbon fiber finish.
It's that expensive because they have to align the fiber weave from panel to panel, which is almost impossible to do. Otherwise it would like an 6 year old built it. .
3 million? I would hate the see the car insurance bill. Then again, if you can afford a car like this..God bless.
3 million dollars and the brakes squeak pulling into the garage ??? that's hysterical !!!
Anyone else notice that he said "three banks of cylinders instead of two".He should have said "four banks of cylinders instead of two".You can't devide 16 cylinders by three.
Have a look here and read somethings about THREE banks....: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_engine
I find it hard to believe that Jay couldn't afford one of these. he's probably just being modest.
I don´t think that he couldn´t afford the Bugatti, i think he doesn´t want to buy one, because his collection is so expensive and stuffed with that much cars that cost more than 2 million dollars that he could buy one easily.
Lukas Börning agreed.
yeah right..he doesnt want 1..fkn idiots.
$800K more for the Super Sport? I can't even afford a $200K house!
Watching this again 8 years later... oh how times have changed
I'm saving up for a Veyron. So far I've got enough money to buy one of the dust caps.
Tire valve cap?
Cant work on it cant hear engine growl = no interest for Jay Leno I'm guessing.
19:29 hilarious when Jay tries to turn the key. He's owned or driven just about everything and tries to turn the key? I know he found that funny. It would have been even more funny if he broken it. That would be $45,000 Mr Leno. LOL
if the key is worth 45 k it better not break with a simple twist
It's amazing that as fast as this car is that it works in rush hour traffic in Palm Springs in the summer with the a/c on.
VW rocks. Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti and Porsche, there you find qualitiy
And Skoda and Seat.
3 million and no cup holders..smh
Well it was built to be the fastest in the world, not the most convenient...
At the cost and speeds this goes, i wouldnt want drinks in my car; to spill and create messes in it or to damage it
It is not advised to be distracted by your beverage at 240mph
correction 268mph
John Ryan Lewis hi
John Ryan Lewis correction 269mph
The car cost $3 Million because it's made in France and it uses the most expensive materials and is all hand made by very well paid Craft Man, if all this was done in china the same car would cost $30,000 dollars, top speed 120 mph if lucky and you run the risk of everything braking apart on the highway surrounded by angry truckers, buy.....
*Breaking
plus its rarity, it is the fastest super car in the world *that is street legal and non track based and that didnt need a extensive or very curvy aero dynamic design or light wieght to reach its record top speed* , highest luxury standards of any of the fastest super cars, its advanced technology, and huge Brand name's reputation. Hahaha So eat that vemon gt and agera R.
What a gorgeous car!!! I’m in love. Corvettes always did it for me. That and the Ferrari 550 Maranello. Just sweet looking cars.
Now you can buy a Hennessy Trackhawk at about $120K and it has 1012 bhp plus it will get your kids to school and do offroading
Sounds like a bargain ! 😆🤣
Compared to this Bugatti car
@@Porkchop999 true !!!
that sounds he makes at 5:10 actually means "I have no clue what I am about to say "
While people like Jay have more money than he will ever spend in his lifetime, just miles away, are people living homeless and would happy just to have a half eaten doughnut they found in the trash.
What a world we live in.
Yeah? Why don't you do something about it with your money instead of criticizing others about it?
Plus, I used to help out at the local food kitchen, but could not handle what goes on behind closed doors.
Those running it, keep all the good food that is donated for themselves and drive around in new cars and do not even need it and the scraps are given back to the public, who actually do need it.
The pastor who runs our local shelter, is a millionaire, who became one, from leaching off everything and the shelter is run like a sweat camp.
They force the people to work for free all day, and the money goes into the pastors pocket and most homeless rather sleep in a tent in the dead of winter, than to go there.
They don't help people get back on their feet and you are not even allowed to have your own job and that is a fact.
And the same thing happens there, all the good stuff donated, the pastors and their families take and the scraps are given back to the public and it is downright disgusting.
Example, I helped bring in food that a wedding party donated, which consisted of huge trays of fried chicken, meatballs, pasta, huge trays of salad, trays of pizza, all kinds of stuff, which would have been a feast for the public that day.
But no, the pastors and their families kept it all and only thing they gave back to the public was a small plate of pasta with a few drops of sauce on it.
Yah I was told I could have a huge potion for myself to take home, I said no thank you, walked out and never went back.
*****
Everything evil is unavoidable, and we all have choices to make, proving it is unavoidable, if we have choices, correct?
+parodyisms most of those doughnut eaters are watching this video on their Iphones and Galaxy's -- instead of eating.
Now I get it why so many people click this footage, just because of this 5 -million- dollar brand new modern sport baby. I thought Jay was gonna show me the classic Bugatti old grandpa car instead of this new baby that I have seen it tons of time in Top Gear. Nothing fun at all except the spike of adrenaline joy.
Is it bothering anyone else how he's saying "Veyron?" It shouldn't bug me but it is.
Joshua Miller "it shouldn't *bug* me..."
I see what you did there
Will it do a burnout?
no
Will it blend?
+Chris Trick Good one... love the Blendtec videos. I'm not sure the Blendtec will blend carbon fiber.
No its AWD
there is probably a special key or factory setting that would allow it to do all wheel burnout. 1200 hp would spin tires without traction control.
Leno: "Does it come in denim?"
You can see the sales guy wincing every time Jay puts his hands on the car...
I'll take a mint '69 dodge charger and pocket 3 million.
Same thinking
That guy was stiffer than the chassis 😅😂😂😂
The most advanced dinosaur.
The point is that when this monster was made, it demolished all competition hands down (was there any “competition” at all ? ) it’s important to remember. This car was the ultimate machine. All others hypercars makers had to step back and review all they’re strategies after the Super Sport and just follow it. A Bugatti will always be a Bugatti. It’s simply the best car Brand ever created.
"Well you would see 3 banks of cylinders..."
Oh dear. It would help if 16 divided into 3
I thought the same when he mentioned the 3 banks, but on the other hand... VW has also sold VR5 engines not too long ago, they may as well design a hyper car with 5+6+5 cylinders. :P
He was thinking of a W
why are octane levels lower in the usa? Here in europe all i ever see is 95 and 98...
How are you measuring yours? Here we use an averaging system that is virtually meaningless, but each grade is measured in the same manner so you get a relative idea of what you are getting.
European 98 octane is equal to American 93 octane, it's just a different measurement system.
Eric Esquibel i see...
Eric Esquibel Uhm it is not a different measurement system... Generally, in Europe, petrol is leaded and thus the octane level is higher, whilst in the majority of states in the US petrol is unleaded and have a lower octane level. There is no such thing as a metric octane system and an imperial octane system.... Octane is octane.
Yeah... except you're wrong. Most of Europe rates there gas by the RON rating while America uses the AKI rating system (which takes the average of RON and MON.)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
3 million for a car but you get a break squeal at the end wtf
+Rusty Kuntz Carbon brakes squeal like crazy when they're cold.
+Rusty Kuntz oh look, and idiot.
You do know that all ceramic brakes squeal?
Yeah because a car good for >240mph should behave like my moms civic....
I'll never understand people that use "and" in the place of "an". Like, do you think people are saying "and" whenever they say "an"? e.g. if someone said, "I would like an apple", do you think they're saying, "I would like also apple"?
Presumably, these are the same people who think you call something "bias" instead of "biased". Anyway, nobody will ever see this comment on an ancient comment string, so I guess I'm just talking to myself; just thought it ironic that someone could be so blatantly stupid while calling someone else an idiot.
Where can you drive 200 + mph? Most places you’re stuck in traffic going 10mph
I'd love to drive a Bugatti Veyron for it's speed., but I'd never want to own one, cause honestly I think it's hideous. If someone gave me one for free, I'd sell it. Just my opinion though.
Yeah, I mean just look how sealed up the engine bay is. This is a car you can't even think about servicing without custom-made tools.
YESTWENTY WINS Ettore Bugatti made that grill in 1909.
Bugatti's have proudly used hat grill for ages.
Stephen Bagnell Cool man, I don't think that changes how he views it aesthetically :l
all of this technology and they didn't bother to put any gull wing doors on it
lol, ewww
That would have put the weight up.
Kristoph109 No it wouldnt... it's just ugly. How would it put the weight up if the whole car is basically carbon fiber?
Its not ugly you pancreas!
eRa Hyznberg
A quick Google shows that one of the main cons of adding sissor\vertical doors is extra weight. Means adding more strength and struts to the door so it can open and stay vertical without falling back down, thus adding more weight, not a lot more, but more.
Lamborghini only do it for two reasons, wank-factor and that their cars are already extremely wide to start with.
Why does he call the veyron a veyrown?
Thanks guys...really enjoy the video.....Ultimate car truly.
21:03 camera man on skateboard. LOL
Dude, you're everywhere.
Rico Suave Wait until I have a million subscribers! :)
Carlyle's Picks Let's do this!
24:07 Can you hear that squeaking? I don't need a squeaking car. It's settled then, not gonna buy it.
Tom Cruise bought one
10 years later, the specs of the Veyron are still insane! Although the Veyron isn't the fastest road legal car anymore, there are only a handful of cars that are faster. The fact that only a few cars have beaten it since 2005- 2008 shows how fast it is!
300 grand to have them NOT paint your car. LOL
i would rather go for a koenigsegg
Israel Mbalabu duh
Gio :c pagani
For three million I don't ever wanna hear my brakes squeak.
oil change require 27 hours and costs $21-$25k.
A new set of tires (which must be changed as a set) will cost $30,000 and after the third tire change, a new set of wheels is required to the tune of $120,000
