Bugatti Boy

Going through my list of dream cars, I came up on the car brand by the name of Bugatti.  Now we all know about the car brand Bugatti, right?  Flo rida is busy talking about being THE Bugatti boy in every song he makes.  One of his songs came on the radio yesterday, and he had mentioned Bugatti boy, so I said “yes that is what my blog will be about this week.”  Quite the way to pick what car to write about this week, huh?

So starting in the beginning, it all began with a guy by the name of Ettore Bugatti.  Side note, pretty sure that's one of the coolest names ever.  Anyway, he was the original designer and creator of the first Bugatti, called the Type 1.  After that, the Bugatti brand won medal after medal, and started to make more models such as the Type 2, the Type 51, and many more.  Possibly the most interesting thing I found was that Bugatti filed bankruptcy around 1995, and then Volkswagen came in and claimed rights to the brand.  Still to this day, Volkswagen has the rights to the company.

Models, models, models.  Oh yeah, did I mention new models?  The incredible car brand came out with 4 new versions of models from last year, all beautiful inside and out.  The first model is the Veyron 16.4.  This models literally costs almost $1,500,000.  If that doesn't make your jaw drop, this next model will.  The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse costs $1,695,000.  Honestly, I thought Lamborghinis were expensive.  This gives a whole new meaning to the word expensive.

We will be looking into the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse a little bit now.  Below are a couple pictures of the car, and then I list a couple of specs about the car from Bugatti’s official site.

Horsepower-1,200
Top speed-410 km/h or 254 mph
0-62 mph-2.6 seconds
0-124 mph-7.1 seconds

Overall, this car is one of the most beautiful and pricy cars in the world.  If I ever get to the point of being able to own a Bugatti, I still will probably buy a Lamborghini or two instead.  Honestly, not because I don't like the Bugatti, but just because I really like the look of Lamborghinis better.  But this car seriously shocked me with the price, and I think it actually may be overpriced for the actual car itself.  However, it's a very nice-looking car and goes very fast, no doubt about that.
