OH Buga! A supercar worth £830,000 is loaded on to a truck after the world’s costliest road crash.

The sleek Bugatti Veyron — one of only a dozen in the UK — was wrecked in a smash in pouring rain.

It is understood the wrecked car was taken away by the SAME truck driver who had delivered it to the owner just a week earlier.

heh

"Bugatti super car is left a wreck" - should read 7 months pregnant woman and baby survive being hit by a nut doing 2.5 times the speed limit in a Bugatti!

The crash would hurt - both physically and financially.

Link to the beast doing 235mph at a test track. Tires only last for 15 minutes at that speed, but it runs out of gas in 12. :)

Good point. I like how they're glossing over the reckless driving.

From the article

The Bugatti driver... was reported by police for driving without due care and attention.

Doing over 100mph in a 40mph zone is "driving without due care"?

This guy should be charged with reckless endangerment. He hit a pregnant woman!

Looks like minor damage. Some bondo and fresh paint ought to do it.

[BufordP]

I must admit I didn't read the rest of the article. I hope the woman is alright and they prosecute for more than just reckless endangerment.

I recommend duct tape.

[geezerwheezer]

Gee, maybe he can put it up on blocks in the front yard while he works on it too! Ain't nothin' better than duct tape and bondo to fix your car/truck, and a spray can of matching rustoleum to paint it!

So the owner bought this car for 925,000 UK dollars. Is my conversion correct that we are looking at almost $1.8 mil?

[Niteranger68]

Who buys a Bugatti to drive it in the rain????

[xp38]

There is a reason pit stops were invented. :)

[USMCWife6869]

That's what I got.
