Bugatti Veyron Goes For A Swim — Over $1 Million In Water Damage

We’re pretty sure that the Bugatti Veyron has air-conditioning. Despite that, it would never be hot enough for it to have to go for a swim. But alas, the $1.6 million super-duper-car was caught taking a quick cool-out session in knee deep water.

The accident occurred in Texas, and reports have said that the weather has been pretty darn hot there lately.

The video came with the following quote:

“I recorded this 5 miles away from my house in Galveston County, Texas. We have a very rich neighborhood right next to the beach. I was stunned! Third or fourth Veyron Crashed :( A distracted owner of a Bugatti Veyron, one of the world’s fastest production cars, accidently drove Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009, into a lake in Galveston, Texas. The driver was uninjured, but the car, which can sell for around $2 million, was partially submerged in three feet of water.”

  1. There are many ways that water can damage your goods and property. Obviously floods and excessive rainfall do tremendous damage, but there are many other, less obvious, yet very devastating ways water can wreck your precious things. Water stains, foul odors, and black mold are just a few of the ways.

  2. Wow – that has to be one of the worlds most expensive water damage jobs yet…
