It's nearly impossible to secure seat time in a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport (http://www.autoblog.com/bugatti/veyron+eb+16.4/). Not only are they hard to find (production volume in the low hundreds makes the supercar as rare as active members of the Right Said Fred fan club), but the $2 million sticker price dissuades most owners from handing over their sacred keys. When an opportunity to drive one of the world's fastest vehicles does present itself, it is most often a short jaunt on a restricted route, as each mile on the odometer is understandably very precious.
But some of us do win the lottery.
As luck would have it, Bugatti (http://www.autoblog.com/bugatti/) North America was entering a factory-supported vehicle in the Goldrush Rally. The cross-country jaunt would be following a discontinuous route from Beverly Hills to Miami and the automaker was looking for someone to drive the first long leg. With a solemn poker face hiding my giddiness, I accepted the invite.
One expects a supercar experience and the sensationalized bloody fast acceleration - the Veyron delivered both - but I didn't realize the Bugatti would reveal so much more about its true personality during my extended date.Continue reading Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/26/bugatti-veyron-16-4-grand-sport-review-video/)
