I'd rather see Charlie's sd1 make 200mph though . I saw a vernon at beaulieu and wasn't impressed .

It's been reported that VW make a lose of £300,000 on each one they sell. It's really a VW. The engine was invented by VW the W engine. The company went bust years ago. And VW bought the name and then stick it on a car with a VW engine That's the world most expensive VW I'll pass thanks

And it's still F**King ugly

if he was just cruising along and a 'pelican came close' to him,how come the car is set in its high speed hunkered down setting,which you have to do manually? naughty naughty!

Ummm....I don't see ANY pelicans in this video. Amazing that someone was actually filming this Bugatti at the same time he decided to go into the lake. I bet he doesn't want his insurance agent to see this video.

Idiot had "down-force" setting too with the wing up

The second vid of the car actually driving in doesn't seem to have the wing up though, strange :?

I don't believe they are a pointless car, i think they are an engineering show piece and nothing wrong with that.

What a waste of a car though on that idiot, give it to me!

I bet the electrics fried the car once it was submerged and caused the rear wing to deploy.

i think the car had a last ditched attempt to save itself from the idiot driver!

And thats the whole point! From an engineering point of view its genius. I'd personally love to be be involved in an engineering project that just pushes limits and doesn't have profit margins in mind.
Hats off to VW imho

Agreed. It's that type of philosophy that was at the root of many of the 90's MTB brands that put many of them out of business. Yet without that type of thinking where would the MTB industry have gone? I'm happy for the passionate ones that said "costs be damned" ;-)
