Bugatti in Bangkok

Post by phuketrichard »

Nice:: note the plate

One of only 20 Bugatti Chiron Sport 110 Ans in the world, valued at US$3.2 million, was spotted cruising around the mean streets of Bangkok on Sunday. Let’s just hope the driver has insurance.

The Bugatti, which sports a Cambodian registration plate that reads ‘BOSS’, is allegedly owned by a Cambodian businessman who is the son of a politician. The mystery man is allegedly married to a ‘High So’ Thai businesswoman worth millions.

The sports car is one of the fastest cars ever made, but probably didn’t get a chance to flex its speed in Bangkok traffic. LOL

I've seen two of them around Phnom Penh, one is owned by Hun To. An oil change is $17,000.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I read somewhere that the car needs to go to the factory to be serviced. It will not be cheap to transport this car once a year to Europe. I also heard that Emirates airlines has a special deal to transport these cars to be serviced.

Wonder how the owners enviromental impact on world emissions compares to my own.

I am sure the owner wont give a f*ck about any maintainance costs. He probably ownes another 10 such cars he can use while the Bugatti is beeing serviced.
work is for people who cant find truffles

Might be safer in BKK than London..

Video: Scooter-riding thieves attack $4.8m Bugatti while driving in traffic

A Bugatti Chiron hypercar was targeted in London traffic by a group of hammer-wielding criminals, dressed as food-delivery riders on scooters.

Driving a fancy car can often attract the wrong type of attention, and in the case of this $4.8 million Bugatti Chiron, it was the worst kind of attention.

The hypercar was reportedly targeted and stalked in London traffic, in broad daylight, by a gang of thieves on scooters. When the car stopped for an intersection, the criminals attempted to attack the driver by smashing the windows with a hammer.

Owned by Kuwaiti businessman Abdullah Al Basman, the Chiron is finished in royal blue with polished wheels and orange highlights. It's a spec that has captured the attention of London's famed 'carspotting' photographers.

Powered by an 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine, the Chiron quotes outputs of 1103kW and 1600Nm. It can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 2.4 seconds and is capable of a top speed in excess of 400km/h.
