mdl Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 They were trying to create a carbon copy here in the US but I think the plans fell through. I read rumors of Adam Corolla co-hosting with someone else but they were rumors. The videography has definitely drastically improved over the past few years.

leadpipecinch21 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 yeah, i really think vw could have done a better job on that car...i mean for chrissake, just take the r32 suspension for awd and indepenent rear, and stiffen it up a bit to turn. though, i doubt they ever really intended for it to be taken to a track, so they've got that excuse...

Each car costs 5-6 mil to produce.IMO thats the reason they are rolling out limited editions and such, to recoup some cost cuz they are sure feeling it in todays market.

NickReppinThe909 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 100% false they cost around $550,000 for VW to produce the production loss is only for bugatti because they have to pay VW to produce and assemble each one of the cars so VW is making a profit but bugatti is not. and if you think about it why would a company take a 2-3 million dollar hit on a ugly ass car like the veyron ?
