Bugatti Veyrong

In the world of cars being first is everything. That's why there's an industry in being able to supply the must-have car du jour. Hard to believe but for a while there was a healthy premium being charged for supplying a new Beetle. I know, a new Beetle.

And what is true in the world of cars is truer still for supercars. There will always be a queue of footballers, rappers and other assorted dimwits willing to pay 30% over list to be the first to roll up at Shaggers Nightclub in the new Lamborgarri Fasterossa.

So one can only speculate at the favours, threats and billfolds that are exchanged to secure a 'first' in the rarefied world of the hypercar.

Ladies and gents, the first Bugatti Veyron to get binned. Smacked up having aquaplaned on some standing water - is there a more boring and tedious accident to be had? I hope it was worth it.
