For Sale: Jenson Button's Bugatti

Its worthwhile watching the youtube video that has a GT-R race against the Veyron in a straight line. Its tough to comprehend just how fast this thing is.

This thing is faster 0-60 than a Hayabusa motorcycle. That is scary fast.

Of the 297 remaining coupes, I'm rather surprised to see Jenson Button with one. He's at the height of his career, why sell it now? Actually I think I answered that.

If he really wants to cash in....I would think he'd wait to see if he wins the championship first.

I'm curious whether the ad specifies "serious inquiries only" and what the odds of me getting a test drive are.

OH BOY!!! Only $900,000 ?

What's he replacing it with? A Veryon convertable?

For Owners: how much is the annual expense for running this on public roads, including the insurance premium, and mobile electic fence to keep neighborhood youths from stripping it at every stoplight? I also remember _each_ wheel and tire is roughly $2K or so.

900,000 pounds, that's $1,488,952.81 in the US. According to MotorTrend, changing all four tires and wheels costs $73,000.
