Private jet travel works out cheaper that driving a Bugatti Veyron!


Bugatti Veyron, whether you like it or not, will remain in history for many reasons, including performance, number of special editions produced, price and even maintenance cost. According to an article from Autocar, one British owner has ended up having his Veyron trailered to his favourite roads, following it there by jet. This way, it works out cheaper than driving all the way along to his destination.

So, let's do the maths:
  • Routine service: �12,866
  • New set of tyres: �23,500 (they have to be capable of 253mph, more than 100mph faster than Concorde�s landing speed)
  • Every fourth tyre change, the rims must be stress tested for cracks � a sensible precaution in a car this fast � and replaced if they are found wanting at a cost of �7,050 per corner!
