Wait. What? A Veyron crashed into a lake? When did this happen?

500,000 for a car that doesn't work and has already started to rust????????????????????????

Someone educate me please, does the rust spread or is there a way of reversing it?
Also will the engine ever function properly again?

You can spray paint on rust if you want, but rust is oxydation of metal. In the end you have no metal anymore.

I read the engine is dead, you'll have to change it. So the only thing I see possible with it, is creating 4 wheel tables + 2 topgear style bugatti chairs for your living room ...

I wonder if the intention of the buyer is to part it out? With things like the Veyron engine block watch winder etc? Maybe someone will make some money off it in an interesting way. Either that or its a second dumb ass owner who will make a mistake of trying to fix it.

$500k already? I can't even imagine what that's going to cost to fix. Good luck to the future owner

anyone know if the owner got paid by insurance? that video that surfaced of the crash showed no pelican whatsoever, only the Bugatti driving straight into the lake.

Tires cost $20,000.

I think fixing this car would likely cost you a kidney.

i like the idea of using the parts for tables/chairs. hell might as well just hang the car on a wall while youre at it.
