ABU DHABI - Psst, buddy, can you spare me a sports car? Yes, evidently, three of them. This weekend Top Gear, the UK-based car magazine, which is in the country for a photo shoot, sent out an urgent request for an unusual car, the million-dollar Bugatti Veyron.
It was hoping for one. Instead, it was offered three of the vehicles, which cost more than Dhs 4.4 million (USD $1.2m) each. “No other place in the world could we have found three Bugattis in a span of 48 hours,” said a relieved Charlie Turner, the creative director for the magazine.
The cars were tracked down by the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and belong to local owners who wish to remain anonymous. Built by Volkswagen, the 1,000-horsepower vehicle can reach 255 MPH (407 KPH). One car in the shoot, a gleaming aluminium-bodied model, is one of only five in the world.

I think we all would love to drive one. Problem is regardless of if you want to drive it just once or more than once, you only get one shot at it. This being because with that much horsepower and that light of a car, its impossible not to wrap it around a tree, LOL.
Great looking car though, gotta say. Poor VW looses soooo much money on each one of those things when they sell em. Costs them nearly 3-4 times the selling cost to make em.
