(CNN)Bugatti unveiled a new high-performance supercar at the Geneva Motor Show on Monday.
The French car maker currently produces only four models -- all variations of the famed Bugatti Veyron. The Veyron was introduced in 2005 and the "Veyron 16.4 Super Sport" was named the world's fastest production car by the Guiness Book of World Records in 2013.

I have a song chosen for ride number one.

I wonder how many miles per year a person puts on a car like this. I bet they just sit in a fancy garage most of their life.

Says they will make 500 of these. I guess that is just about enough to call it a "production" car. Didn't the big 3 American car manufacturers used to play that game to get special models into NASCAR? That is, make just enough for public sale to qualify as "production" so their race teams could use them as a starting point?
Anyway, neat car. But if I hit the lottery I think the most exotic I might go would be a Tesla and/or a high-end Audi.

FYI: Just outside of Sun Valley, ID for one day a year a stretch of highway has it’s speed limit removed while ‘normal’ traffic is routed on another stretch.
This Bugatti Veyron did a tad over 235 MPH.

One of the ‘little’ things that go unmentioned in this story is tire life.
Once a Bugatti Veyron does a stint at 200 or more, the tires MUST be replaced.
Simple? Sort of.
1) Remove tires and wheels
2) Ship to Michelin in France
3) Include $20,000
4) Wait for your new tires and old rims.
BTW I saw a Bugatti Veyron in my town last summer. It was around the time of the Sun Valley event so some of these owners do drive their cars. I live 7 hours from Ketchum.
Pretty cool.

I think the darned things are ugly. Would love to drive one though just once, and would love to own one so I could sell it for what it’s worth and buy things I’d really like to own.
To: ConservativeStatement
Meh, for my $2 million, I'd rather have one like this...
