Close Call for Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport During Hill Climb

What’s the point of owning a 1,001PS (987hp) supercar like the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport if you can't actually have some fun in it?

Of course, having fun and crashing a $1.7 million exotic are two very different things, but fortunately for this overenthusiastic Veyron Grand Sport driver, a mishap at last weekend's Prescott hill climb did not end in tears.

Video follows right below the break.

rare, unique, or one of a kind...? An unmarried beautiful young woman fashion designer with an impressive inherited car collection, in So Cal

Setorii Pond, was raised by her grandparents, Robert Pond (Navy pilot turned business man) and Jo (Italian benefactor of beautiful genetics) and grew up with the cars. “ My Grandparents and I collected the cars together as a family; each car has a fun, heartfelt and unique story all its own. Some of my favorite cars are the Ferrari 250 TR, Austin Martin AR1, Tucker, and Jaguar XJ13."

Some of the more interesting (at face value, not kowing the stories behind them) cars in the collection, a 1938 Bugatti T57C, a 1931 Auburn boattail speedster, a Muntz Jet, a Fiat Jolly, a Delorean, a 1961 Ferrari 250 Testarossa, a couple Ferrari Daytonas, a 1967 GT40, the 1926 Rickenbacker Super Sport boat tail, a 1943 Studebaker Weasel (WW2 military transport) , a Tucker and a Vector W8

I had misssed in my looking through Driven.UrbanDaddy.com that they had posted about Setorri's book twice http://driven.urbandaddy.com/2012/03/15/the-art-of-setorii/ and http://driven.urbandaddy.com/2012/02/28/the-collector-2/

Bugatti Veyron Replica Based on Honda Civic Now Offered For Sale as a Complete Car

Remember back in February when we told you about the availability of a fiberglass body kit that attempted to replicate the looks of the $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron on 1992-1995 Honda Civic Coupes?

At the time, the seller was offering the eight-piece kit alone for $4,500, but we have now discovered that you can buy a completed model on eBay.

Supercar Matchup with Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador, Lexus LFA and McLaren MP4-12C

Bringing together some of the most exclusive and powerful supercars in the world is a challenge well worth the effort.

In this exotic matchup, Automobile magazine assembled four of the fastest carbon-fiber-bodied rides in America to find out which is the king of the quarter mile on an airport runway.

The challengers are the almighty, 16-cylinder Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the new V12-powered Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, the Lexus LFA V10, and the eight-cylinder McLaren MP4-12C.

To see how the race went down, head past the break and watch the video.
