Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599 GTB Street Racing

June 4, 2008 · Print This Article

If you’re contemplating taking your Veyron out to school the little boys in their 599’s, you best know what the repercussions might be. We know a situation such as this might be, and most likely will be MUCH different if you are in the states, However in the UK, you’d be looking at 3 points on your record and a fine that’s a mere droplet compared to what you paid for the car at £60 (about $120.)

We have two blokes to thank for these numbers, that were out for a little fun in Hampshire, UK. Attention was obviously brought to the two supercars stretching their legs, and a pursuit ensued. The BMW police car got up to 140mph chasing the two, when the Veyron decided to pull over, while the 599 kept going, and ultimately got away.

“We were in hysterics when we saw the Bugatti had been stopped. The policeman had a furious look that suggested the driver was in tons of trouble.”

Said a motorist who managed to snap a couple pictures of the cars, one as the two went racing by, showing the 599 may have been expecting some unwanted attention and was not sporting a license plate. Another of the Veyron while it’s pulled over.
