Me like it a lot!
Okay, everyone, I am the royal price of a land far away, and I would like to offer you some of my long lost grandfather's gold. But first though you have to help me out by contributing at least $20,000 to me because I am starting a plan called "buying Bugatti" and I need your help. I will assure you your donated amount will be paid back at least 10 times more than the amount you contributed. I will only accept the amount in a cashiers cheque. I am located in a small town in Nigeria. ;)

Sorry, just had to do that. That car is freakin' awesome! Not as cool as the Carrera GT though.

Quite the Volkswagen!

Pretty amazing car, but I could never get used to that ugly horseshoe mouth.

Even the tires for the Veyron are unique. They're specially designed by Michelin to handle the stress of driving at 250 mph. The tires need to be sticky like a race car's and able to handle 1.3 G's on the skidpad. However, they also need to last longer than the 70 or so miles of a typical race tire.
Michelin therefore created completely new tires to handle the Veyron's unique requirements. In the rear, the tires are 14.4 inches (36.6 cm) wide. Specifically, the tires measure 245/690 R 520 A front and 365/710 R 540 A rear, where 245 and 365 are the width in millimeters (9.5 and 14.4 inches respectively). The rims are 520 mm and 540 mm in diameter (approximately 20 inches). These tires, in other words, are massive -- the rears are the widest ever produced for a passenger car.

The tires use the Michelin PAX system. Their pressure is monitored automatically, and they can run flat for approximately 125 miles (201 km) at 50 mph (80 kph). According to Michelin, the run-flat detection system "plays an integral role in active safety in PAX System. Its role is to inform you of a loss of pressure, either gradual or sudden." Once warned of an air leak by the PAX system, you can reduce your speed and head toward a tire repair center.

I'm with Dantilla on this one. It IS FUGLY!

That is some piss-poor styling detail on a conspicuously nasty shape.
