I hope you weren't planning on shopping at your friendly neighborhood Bugatti dealership today, because the last Veyron 16.4 has been sold. Bought by someone in Europe, it was No. 300 of the iconic super car that will go down in history as one of the fastest and most technologically advanced automobiles ever produced. It's asking price of more than $1 million is notoriously far less than the actual production cost.
However, should you have a few extra hundred thousand dollars lying around Mr. Potential Bugatti Customer, rest assured that it's only the lowly base model Veyron that's run out. The Veyron Grand Sport is still trickling out of the factory in France. That's the car that achieved the current top-speed record first set by Top Gear's James May and then bested by VW's own test driver. However, there is rumored to be a carbon-fiber-extensive Veyron successor launched in 2014 capable of breaking that record.
Phew, maybe it was a good thing you didn't get there in time.

It was a Veyron Super Sport that broke the world record. The Grand Sport is the convertible. So which is it?

Another great editing job by IL, I guess.
Sold out? Oh well, I guess I shouldn't have spent last Saturday at the mall with the kids. I knew I should have pulled the trigger and bought one. Now I'll have to wait until 2014.
