Default Bugatti Veyron in Norway

http://www1.vg.no/bil-og-motor/artik...p?artid=156105


Two Bugatti Veyron was spotted on the ferry on their way to norway today..
Apparently they are going here for some test-driving on the norwegian snowy roads.

They came together with another car, and the german technicians said they were doing some testing on the cars in norway..
The information manager at Volkwagen says they know nothing of Bugatti being norway though..

So, maybe they're testing some new cool stuff under the shell..

Dangerously enough, they weren't equipped with winter tires, so I wonder how this will go images/smilies/tongue.gif

So it would only be €1 600 000? It cost €1 190 000 in Germany and €1 640 000 in Holland, it ought to be more in Norway.

Hmmm the plate says WOB which is Wolfsburg. Nobody lives there who doesn't work for VW.

Norways Bugatti prices are nothing. With taxes the Bugatti is estimated at 25.000.000 kr = 3.300.000 € here in Denmark images/smilies/tongue.gif

It will be around €2.500.000 here in Norway i guess....

What's with the danish price-system? It's worse than ours...do you have 300% envy tax like us? images/smilies/tongue.gif

Agreed. The all blue looks somehow too bland.

The blue does look good, but i wouldn't buy it in that colour. I think i'd get tired of it after a while.. images/smilies/smile.gif
I'd rather have the two-tone in the picture. That looks incredible.

I disagree - I think that looks pretty sweet

But the best looking Veyron BY FAR was the one in the TG Studio for that high speed run episode - that Tuxedo / Piano key Black and White - incredible -

Great find xyrex and Banii
