There is something special about being number 1, heck recently a man in Abu Dhabi paid over $14 Million for the priviledge of having the number “1” lisence plate, instant street credit in the Middle East’s oil rich car crazy tuner culture. Here is another kind of first; it is the first Bugatti of the 21st century, it is the first modern super car to demand €1 million for the privilege of ownership. This was the first road going car to be powered by Volkswagen’s W16, making 1001 HP with the help of four turbochargers. If you haven’t figured it out by now we are talking about the Bugati Veyron, and this is the very first one, chassis #001 of 300.

The owner has relinquished his piece of automobile history, and with only 400 miles on the clock, the original Veyron is on sale; the asking price, a cool $2.4 Million. The quadruple digit horse power Bugatti Veyron 16.4 can achieve a level of acceleration previously unheard of in the sports car segment, the speed bubble can go from 0 to 60 MPH in just three seconds and fly past the 200 MPH mark only 11 seconds later. Thanks to the car’s 923 lb-ft of torque, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s powerful propulsion unit is not exhausted until the piece of rolling technology reaches 252.3 mph (406 km/h): the maximum speed for which chassis and drive train have been designed.
