World’s Fastest Car Bugatti Veyron launched in India at Rs 16 cr


The benchmark for luxury cars in the country just got higher with Volkswagen Group company Bugatti Automobiles today launching its super premium sports car 'Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport', with price starting at Rs 16 crore, the most expensive car to hit the Indian roads.




"Bugatti has been doing well in America, Europe and the Middle East. Now we see India as an emerging market for us, hence we have decided to bring the car to India," Bugatti Automobiles Sales Market Manager (Middle East, Europe and India) Guy Caquelin told reporters here.















The most extreme car in the world is finally here. If you think you are one among the highest and the mightiest, you can now buy this extreme car in India! Exclusive Motors of New Delhi will be the partner of the company in importing the beauties. The 1000+bhp car is the most exclusive, the most powerful, and one of the most expensive cars in the world. Powered by an 8-litre W16 monster, the car accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in about 2.5 seconds and is capable of crossing 400km/h if you could manage to find that sort of an open stretch anywhere in the world.

Although Bugatti or VW or Exclusive Motors have not confirmed the news, the appearance of the address of Exclusive Motors on Bugatti’s official website as one of its official partners is proof enough for us at the moment. Exclusive Motors also imports Lamborghini and Bentley cars in India.

India is a blooming market for luxury goods manufacturers, and Ferrari plans to follow Bugatti by shipping over its California hardtop convertible sportscar. Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Land Rover are already selling in India... and selling quite well, as the number of Indian millionaires continues to grow.

If you do live in India, are in fact a multi-millionaire and are on the fence as to whether a Veyron belongs in your garage, we think you should re-read our First Drive of the Grand Sport. Case closed.

New Kawasaki Z1000 is going to keep us up at night

It's October once again. Soon, children all across the country will be in a sugar-induced frenzy, young women will apply the prefix "sexy" to professions that have no business endorsing skimpy work attire and all of the major networks will proffer an array of neutered horror flicks for one night only. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Kawasaki has gotten into the spirit of things with its advertisement for the new Z1000. The company has employed one of the most terrifying weapons in the arsenal of horror movies for the spot: the creepy voice over of a little girl.

Throw in a little shaky hand-cam work and you've got an ad that's sure to give your therapist plenty of billable hours in the near future. Hit the jump to have a good look at the video for yourself. Just don't call us when you hear the whisperings of Kawasaki-possessed children in your sleep tonight.
