Yes a wine red Veyron was said to have been spotted at Mumbai, but that was considered to be a rumour by most of us as there was lack of proof. But this time around, Bugatti has officialy disclosed it so it is definitely true. But still we don't know the color of the mighty Veyron that is rolling on Indian streets. Dippy what was the color of the Veyron that you saw? |

I had a good 5-6 to minutes to stare at the car when I saw it. I could have managed a picture but I did not because: 1. The car was parked in the owner's private property so even if I did take a pic I would not post it here. 2. The owner was not around for permission. I saw the car from a distance of around 20 feet | |

| ![]() Everyone here is speculating on how the owner must have greased a lot of palms in order to get the car registered. Isn't this the company's problem now after they have appointed a dealer in Delhi? And one important question, is it even a LHD? |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() According to the BS motoring article, the first one in India has been sold to a Mumbai based real estate magnate and is black in colour. There are 2 more heading down south, that too to the same stable! Now that is a whopping 35 crores ! ![]() Source : BSM Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I happened to see a Veyron in the flesh...a blue one in Berlin. Must say i was not impressed, the car looks bug like. The insides look good though. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() ^^ I'll have to agree here but, for most its the power to do what it can do on the roads, that impresses most. For some it is the price tag and whos driving and owing, for enthusiasts the numbers turn them on. Look wise too it is not thaaaaat bad. The Veyron is pretty digestable, lookwise IMO. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I am quite intrigued by this thread. I saw it today for the first time as I guess it was locked in between for lack of evidence that the Veyron was indeed imported by someone in India. I am a car enthusiast and am sure impressed with the Veyron up to an extent. However the crazy price is a put off (Not because I can't afford it but you tend to compare it to the many other supercars many of which are available for around half the cost) The one thing the crazy price is doing is that many of us lesser mortals are excited just to see one picture of the veyron on Indian soil. (No offence to anyone. I couldn't think of any other words to describe us as I am guessing very few of us can afford a 17 cr car) I had seen the car on a recent trip to Europe. I was riding a bus and the veyron passed by and I was wondering... hmmm I don't understand what is the big deal about the car. I tried taking a picture but by the time I removed the camera out of my satchel the car was already way ahead. I live in Mumbai and If happen to see it, i'll try to picturise the car which I saw in europe with another imaginary Veyron riding pillion on the roof (The Indian guy has paid double of what his european counterpart did by way of taxes) and then wonder what's the big deal !! |

We guys are not that lucky even though we are in the same city as the owner does not have a fixed day or time to get the car out. Even if we manage to stand outside his house the entire day, chances are we yet wont get to see the car. Quote:

Chances are you would not see the car Dan. Speedbreakers are too high for it. Hang around next to Mocha and you might see it but after 1.30am. | ||||

Speedy, what would be the total price of the car ? from the BSM article it seems like 17.5 cr is the price of exshowroom, does it mean, 10 Cr more so the buyer paid 27.5 crores total for the car ? |
