The Bugatti Veyron Mouse on Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien

January 24, 2010

Bugatti Veyron Mouse

So the news about Conan O’Brien being kicked out of the NBC’s Tonight Show has been the stuff of legend. Sad to say that it even trumped the devastation of Haiti in some younger circles.

As part of O’Brien’s final hurrah, the Tonight Show featured a running gig that aims to spend as much money as possible on NBC’s tab. And one of their featured bit was this Bugatti Veyron Mouse which is basically a standard Bugatti Veyron.

Currently, the Bugatti Veyron is one of the most expensive production cars in the market where it’s price tag is currently north of $1.4M.

Conan later admits that it’s just all for show. So we’re wondering who really owns the Veyron used for the bit. And thanks, Conan for showing us that with proper attire, the Veyron does look like a mouse.

Top 10 Best Cars of the Decade

December 30, 2009

So it’s the year and the decades end and it’s all about lists. So we’ve made our own and checked it twice on our pics for the best cars of the decade. Largely our basis for choosing is the car’s impact to motoring. If it’s all about speed and performance supercars will pepper the list. For some reason, it does, but that doesn’t stop us from looking at the sensible side of things.

Toyota Prius 550

10. Toyota Prius

While die-hard gear- and petrolheads aren’t throwing in the towel yet in this econmentalist revolution that has affected the motoring industry, we have to admit the the impact of the hybrid. It might be slow to drive and you might look like a smug and sanctimonious bastard who likes the smell of his own farts owning one. But it did challenge the status quo regarding cars and saving the planet. And quite frankly, whether we like it or not, that’s where motoring is headed.

Bugatti Releases Three Limited Edition Veyrons

December 16, 2009

Bugatti Veyron Sang D'Argent

Bugatti might be planning its new car (remember the Galibier concept?) but that doesn’t mean that the Veyron should be forgotten. Bugatti made three limited Veyron editions just for the Dubai motor show.

Yup. You read that right. That’s three. And you have to wonder if Bugatti stylers have started snorting powdered aluminum.

The “Nocturne” which features a black and polished aluminum body. To round up the shiny bits, the car featuyres galvanised side windows, custom rims, a platinum center console and black magnesium dashboard.

Next up is the “Sang d’Aergent” inspired by the old Centenary Villa d’Este cars. The car features a two-tone exterior and polished aluminum.

Rounding up the trio is the “Soleil de Nuit” (meaning “sun of the night”) which comes in a deep blue exterior, aluminum finish and a bright orange leather interior.

The cars bear a few hundred thousand on top of the price of the regular Veyron. Despite the Dubai recession, there’s no question that the middle east pretty much is one of the most viable markets for such an expsnsive cars.

Bugatti Bordeaux Coming to Frankfurt

July 15, 2009

Bugatti BordeauxSo Bugatti has been quite busy creating limited editions of its Veyron hypercar. For those wondering when will the company ever show us a new model, well, September’s not that far away.

Yup. Bugatti is reported to be unveiling its four-seater hypercar (dubbed the Bordeaux) at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October. And that bit of teaser’s even accompanied by this grainy teaser picture. Now, see that, Bentley, now that’s how you tease.

The car was first reported to be dubbed the Royale but Bugatti has finally settled for Bordeaux. Better share a name with wine than a quarter-pounder in France. Despite the grainy image here, reports have it that the car will get a shooting-brake-style body and horseshoe-shaped tail lights.

The car will have four seats inside. Speculations also have it that the car will be powered by the same 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 found in the Veyron. That will definitely make the car the fastest four-seater around. Imagine being driven in one of those at 250 mph while sipping Bordeaux.

Rent a Bugatti Veyron

May 24, 2008

There is a huge demographic of people that will never have the chance to sit behind the wheel of the worlds greatest super cars. Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Aston Martin’s… they are ‘untouchable’ for the majority because they could simply not afford to buy or lease one. High end rental agencies are slowly bringing that opportunity to more and more people as they are becoming more widely available, easier to actually rent, and a greater variety of cars are being offered.

Up until late, the standard ‘baller’ cars that could be found on rental lots catering to those looking for something a little flashier and faster than the PT Cruiser, were the Ferrari 355 and the 360, and assortments of Porsche’s. That has changed quite a bit over the past year or so, we now have Lamborghini’s being offered, and not just the Gallardo either.

But Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car download assassination bureau the free has truly stepped up the game. Offering the all mighty Bugatti Veyron to the likes of all. Well all who have $25,000 to spend on the car for a 24 hour rental of the mega car. We at CarFront were quite intrigued, and phoned up Beverly Hills to get some more information, and find out answers to pertinent questions like:

Is doing 250mph+ frowned upon?

How many supermodels can fit comfortably and uncomfortably in the car.

I’ll give you my wife, house and first born… how about we call it square?

But unfortunately I didn’t even get the chance to ask my pressing questions as their customer service seemed a tad below helpful, after getting transfered around for information. At my last stop I was told to simply send an email, two days later, I’m still waiting.
