Some other Veyron trivia and outrageous expenses associated with the car.

So you want upgraded wheels? No problem, these Sang Noir will set you back "only" $120k...







The Veyron uses special Michelin PAX tires found on no other car. They were designed specifically for the Bugatti's capabilities and can only be removed from the wheels in France, a process that costs $70,000. The tires themselves cost $17,000 per set. At 250 mph, the Veyron's tires will last fifteen minutes! Its 26.4-gallon fuel tank goes dry in twelve.



The Veyron's seven-speed, twin-clutch Ricardo automatic costs over $120,000 to replace.
