motorauthority.com— You've gotta love rich people...this guy crashed his Veyron which is less than 1 year old and worth upwards of US$1 million. There are apparently only 50 in the world.

The car has a ?50,000 excess fee and costs ?20,000 a year to insure. That means, roughly......With the 50 in existence that means the insurance "world" gets ?1Million pound a year from the owners per year and made ?2.5Million, in total, from the sale of the cars alone. They know they can charge whatever they like to people who buy cars like those. They will have done the sums and worked out how to cover themselves. 1 crash a year will easily be covered. The owners would most likely pay for minor scrapes.
Dear therealrico,I appreciate your comments. I had NO idea the car was not insured. This does invalidate my point. I can't believe that they allow people to drive cars like that WITHOUT insurance. This is not legal in my state, even for hobby or investment vehicles. In my state, the cost of insuring vehicles IS spread out over the consumer. Please check out the WA state insurance regs. It probably IS NOT that way in England... Since I have NO idea about car insurance in England, the real Rico, I am sorry if I offended you. No offense was meant...Also... as for calling me both an IDIOT and a RETARD, that is not positive or kind. I am new to DIGG, and maybe I was expressing an opinion that you do not agree with, but USE YOUR FACTS to attack me, then I am fine. Please THEREALRICO don't resort to name calling. If the laws for insurance are different in your neck of the woods... please correct me, but don't slam me for no reason. Also please use the spell checker, as you spelled thousands incorrectly.Direct quote from therealrico: "And jrusso9 you are an idiot, this car isn't insured, because no one insured it, and even if it was, it doesn't affect your premiums, unless your insurance company only insures like 15 clients. Think how many cars are on the road, they spread the risk out over thoursands if not millions of cars, retard."

So audi intentionally lost $150-$200 million selling 50 cars?Brilliant business strategy and marketing. This is the first time I've heard of this car.

At least the engine is in the back... it's probably ok.

The driver has more money than brains... or driving skill.

I think I have determined the crash. The owner obviously neglected to search eBay for essential Veyron addons!<a class="user" href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MIRROR-bugatti-VEYRON-06-side-door-2006-part-auto-NEW_W0QQitemZ330094591434QQcategoryZ33649QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MIRROR-bugatti-VEYRON-06-side-door-2006-part-auto-NEW_W0QQitemZ330094591434QQcategoryZ33649QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem</a>
