The Very Last Bugatti Veyron Has Been Manufactured And Sold

(Axion23)
A total of 450 Veyrons were made during the 10 years that the model was manufactured. One expert estimates that Volkswagen, owner of the Bugatti brand, lost more than $5.2 million euro on each car that they sold. This wasn’t the questionable business decision that it might appear to be, of course: Volkswagen’s plan all along was to sow that it could make super-powered supercars and affordable cars in its other brands. Yet having a high-end corporate cousin benefited, say, Audi.
About half of those 450 Veyrons went to homes in Europe, and about 25% were exported to the United States. The final car was exported, as it turns out, to an anonymous buyer somewhere in the Middle East.
