Vroom in Bugatti

The ultimate name in speed and style in the automotive world, Bugatti will finally make its presence felt here in India by next year. Rich lads with their father’s pockets deep enough to buy this will have a field time when they flash their Bugatti Veyron.

Volkswagen AG, the German automotive giant, which also is the parent company of this legendary French super car maker, has made it official that Bugatti is in the list of things that VW has made for India in 2010.

Being the second fastest car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron can hit a top speed of 407km/h and can sprint 0-100km in an amazing 2.6 seconds. This fast car comes in a coupe as well as in a sports car body style.

The legendary Bugatti Veyron tops the list of the world’s most expensive street legal car available in the market today with a price tag of $1,700,000. If converted this sum in Indian rupees, it will cost anywhere between Rs 5 Crore to Rs 12 Crore. Alright, we here are talking about rich kids only.

The world’s fastest car, the SSC Ultimate Aero will also be introduced in India some time in 2010. Though the Ultimate Aero is the fastest car on earth, it is half the price of the Veyron with a price of $654,400.

Volkswagen will import the Bugatti brand to India. Currently, the other brands of Volkswagen like Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini are imported in India by independent dealers.

Actually, it is not very practical to import completely built vehicles of high-end cars to India. It is mainly because of the high cost involved in homologation and the small number of sales. Moreover, homologation, or checking its road worthiness and adapting to local conditions, is mandatory for every model that comes into the country as a Completely Built Unit (CBU).

But, considering the growing liking of Indian customers to luxury products and the country’s high growth rate, many marquee car makers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen are their cars. Volkswagen, which has launched the iconic Beetle and the Touareg on 4th December, brings these cars as CBUs in India.
