So, in the continuing saga of the Bugatti lake crash footage that we showed the other day, new details have just emerged. In a strange twist of fate, we have learned that the driver was Andy House, who just happens to own Performance Auto Sales, a company that actually restores wrecked exotics for resale. Is this starting to sound a little too much like the Balloon Boy incident?   In any case, he bought the 2006 Bugatti Veyron EB for $1.25 million last month and it was fully insu... Read Full Story

  After a very long wait, the Bugatti Galibier 16C Concept has finally landed on US soil, making its public debut in Los Angeles. Let's just cut to the chase; this is the greatest sedan ever made.

No shock the SSC Aero beat the Bugatti's top speed. But beating isn't besting, it's not just about speed. Many of these cars look cheap and thrown-together. They lack the “it” factor. Now we have the Zenvo ST1 and I must say it seems to have “it.”   A/S Zenvo Automotive opened in 2004 just outside of Copenhagen, Denmark. ... Read Full Story
