Bugatti Veyron is currently the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive street-legal production car in the world, and also the world’s second supercar with 16 cylinders and powered by a W-16 1000bhp engin, after the Cizeta Moroder V16T. Each Bugatti Veyron costs between £830,000 to £850,000 ($1.5 million), and likely to be the world most expensive production sports car too. On March 4, 2007, one Bugatti Veyron which was drove by an unnamed 40-something businessman, has managed to turn into world most expensive scrap in what may be the also the world costliest road clash, where the Bugatti Veyron supercar hit a Vauxhall Astra van on the B375 near Chertsey in Surrey, England.

The clash is also the first known wreck of a post-sales Bugatti Veyron on public roads. Previously, only prototype of Veyron was known to be clashed during development testing. The Bugatti Veyron was reportedly driving at speed which is going at around 160 km/h (100 miles/h), according to what the police believed. The Bugatti spun three times due a a patch of water on a wet road surface following a rain before colliding with a Vauxhall Astra and then went up a three-foot bank to clash into a tree, on a 40mph stretch of the B375 Renfree Way, Shepperton, at 1630 on Sunday (4 March).

The front of the Bugatti Veyron was completely ripped off with every panel damaged and the front wheels pointing in opposite directions. Worse still, it’s reported that the eight-litre, hand-built Veyron is one of 300 worldwide and one of only 12 in Britain, and the model in Sunday’s crash had been delivered to the owner only a week before, and was rented by the driver who caused the accident for £20,000 a day.

But owner of the Bugatti unlikely to lose a big sum of money due to insurance claim. If it can’t be repaired, it’s going to be the most expensive vehicle write-off in the world.
