BMW teams up with Italian styling gurus at Pininfarina for slick new coupe
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 – 1.18.3
The standard version of the Bugatti Veyron (if a 16-cylinder, quad-turbo hypercar with 1,000hp can ever be termed standard) recorded a 1.18.3 for the Top Gear power lap in 2008. It’s since been overhauled by the even more insane Super Sport version.

I love supercars and I love Top Gear - but these extravagances are the last gasps in an era where super-rich who don't deserve to be, are wasting money they don't understand the real value of on obscene toys. These cars depreciate like a rock, such that they cost their owners tens - perhaps even hundreds - of thousands of pounds per year to sit on their drives. Take the Bently Continental GT - you can buy one two years old for £100,000 less than the new price, but even then you'd be mad to do so - you may be able to afford a £60,000 second-hand Bently, but you not being super-rich, you're still going to find it's 10.5 MPG and £5,000 servicing costs difficult to justify. Flash cars, from whichever financial point you look at them, don't make sence.
What a shame.
