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.

"Simple? Sort of."

You wouldn't let these guys do it, would you?

$20,000!! Gasp!

That's more than my whole Harley. I guess I'll be really content with the Harley for my big dollar vehicular toy.

That 8 Liter W16 with 1500 hp is amazing.

Pretty much like a race car which needs tire changes during a race. Granted if you can afford this car tire changes just go with the cost of driving.
