And I bet they'll be all sold out before production even begins.

I would say 1600 is more than enough? I don't really want to go through a set of tires on my way to work.

You might want to read this then. A set of tires cost over almost $10,000 per tire.

Here is cost of ownership for a year.

I love reading those things... really makes me laugh. 60k for wheels? Seriously!!! And I thought Volks were expensive! Tires every 2500 miles you say? Hell the way I drive I'd be buying 12+ sets a year lol.

Yes it is enough! but if I were to spend that much on a ride it wouldn't be no stinkin bugatti! I would go to wolfsburg and see if I could purchase the Golf GTI W12 Prototype and make them agree to not make another so I could be the only person with one.

IMO the GTI W12-650 screams play with me and is very sexy and unique, while the bugatti veron just screams MEH! Would I drive one if given the chance? yes I would in a heartbeat! But a 1200hp Supra RZ 6MT can do the same if not more for cheaper.
