    Does anyone know how many Veyron's there are in the USA? Europe? or Asia?

    Is there a register somewhere on the web I could find this info out?

    "The UAE has accounted for five sales so far of Bugatti Veyron, the world's fastest and most expensive car, with another five on order, according to Emirates today." http://www.ameinfo.com/93322.html = 10 :O

    From Wikipedia:
    Confirmed owners include:

    The wife of Ferdinand Piëch - the former VW chairmans wife, who requested chassis number 007, was the first person on the waiting list

    Tim Cahill - the Australian footballer's girlfriend Rebekah Greenhil was caught trying to park it in central Manchester

    Michael Fux - a car collector who test-drove the car during a trip to Pebble Beach in August 2005

    Ralph Lauren - the fashion designer, bought one in black

    Bob Manoukian - dodged the waiting list by buying his Veyron for £1.1m at a charity auction in London in June 2006

    Tom Cruise - The famous actor arrived at the Mission Impossible III premiere in a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 2006

    Hamdan Bin Mohammad in Dubai owns 1 and his brother Ahmad also owns 1...Rashid Al Nuami from Ajman also owns a Veyron.. All 3 are currently in London. There is 1 more Veyron in Abu Dhabi owned by Sultan Bin Hamdan so that accounts for 4 in the UAE..dunno who owns the last 1!

    Not sure why this thread is posted in this section. Bugatti is a French (OK, mostly German) car.

    I guess it's here because Bugatti originally was from Italy. Definetly a French company though, yes.

    All I know is that the first Veyron delivered to the US went to Ron Cadwell, CEO of CWIE and he recently ordered another one.

    Tom Cruise owns a Veyron just as much as Vik owns a GTC!

    Scott Storch, hip-hop producer, spotted quite a bit in Ft. Lauderdale, but currently residing in Philadelphia owns one. I know this for a fact.

    Really ?

    The Chassis and Body Panels are made in Italy by ATR Group.
    The Gearbox and Brakes in UK.
    Engine in Germany
    And all are put together in France.

    Hardly a german car

    Way to be picky! :)

    My statement from way back stands. It's a French car by Germans.

    I ask again: Why is the Bugatti Veyron in this section? It's a French car and the company's historically French. The only exception is when the Italians owned the name and built the EB110 and various concepts.
