Bugatti EB110 totaled at Bavaria Moscow City Racing event
There is now one less Bugatti EB110 on the road, after the model shown in the video here crashed in Moscow. The car, one of only 139 ever produced, looks to have crashed into a cement gutter and embankment on the side of the road during the 2009 Bavaria Moscow City Racing event held on city streets around the Kremlin.
Shuffle forward to the 25-second mark, and you will see the rear passenger wheel snap off and fly up into the air. The rear bumper looks to have been partially torn off from the impact, which also forced open one of [...]

Salesperson Takes Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport for a Quick Spin
If you're looking for a salesman going "slideways" or 200mph on the highway with a $2 million supercar, then sorry to say, you'll be disappointed. This video of the topless Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport was created by Adrian Hill, client advisor at St. Louis Motorsports located in Missouri. Apparently Adrian has found a different way to pitch the dealership's products by creating a string of videos that are somewhat goofy, yet charming due to their simplicity and his personal down-to-earth attitude.
Can't say if this particular video actually reaches the right clientele, but watching it makes you feel no different than [...]
Bought the Farm: barn-find Bugatti Atalante sells for $4.4M
Bugatti Atalantes don't come up for sale very often, so when one unused example was unearthed from the garage of the reclusive late Dr. Harold Carr, enthusiasts and collectors alike stood up and took notice. The rare barn find 1937 Type 57S rolled across the Bonhams "Retromobile" auction block in Paris this weekend as scheduled, where it sold to a European collector for the equivalent of $4.4 million. While that may sound like a chunk of change – and certainly is by most standards, especially in this economy – it's only half of [...]

Bugatti Veyron Vincero by Mansory
Just in case you have a few million dollars you haven't spent on a Christmas present for yourself yet, we thought we'd let you know that this Bugatti Veyron, modified by Mansory, is sitting on the showroom floor at Prestige Cars in the United Arab Emirates. There's plenty of online disagreement as to whether this car is a Sang Noir that's been further modified by Mansory, or a Veyron that's been redone to resemble another tuned Bugatti. The only common thread we've heard is that Mansory was involved in the conversion, and that it goes by the name Vincero Limited.
The [...]

Faster, More Powerful Bugatti In The Works?
A development project under the guise of "Project Lydia" might sound all very inconspicuous, but with Bugatti at the helm, this ain't no picnic. According to German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Bugatti have finalised plans to develop a new supercar set to rival if only its own model for sheer speed, but they as yet remain just that; plans.
