Volkswagen Plans to Bring Rs. 12 Crore Bugatti Veyron to India
The Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 is a mid-engine grand touring car produced by Volkswagen Group subsidiary Bugatti Automobiles SAS. The delivers performance of a Formula One car clubbed with luxury of a Rolls Royce and drivability of a Honda car. It 8.0L 16 cylinder engine with four turbo-chargers delivers 1001 hp that makes the vehicle zoom past in a blink of an eye. Volkswagen AG may boost its process of bringing the model in India too soon. The car is not only the fastest accelerating and decelerating model with a 0-100-0 kmph in 8.6 seconds but is also one of the most expensive cars in the world.
The car will cost between Rs. 5 crore to Rs 12 crore in India and is expected to hit the Indian roads by mid-2010. “It’s the independent decision of every brand to decide on the India strategy. The brand checks on the viability and whether there is a market potential, and then decides on its launch plans,” commented Kurt Rippolz, Head of communication Volkswagen India. He refused to confirm or deny any such developments or divulge any more details about the car’s launch.
After acquisition of brands like Porsche, Bugatti, Bentley and Lamborghini, VW has become one of the largest car makers in the world. The company aims to introduce all high-end models in India. However, the process of homologation or adapting high-end to the driving conditions of importing country is a long and costly process. Thus, importing Bugatti in India could seriously mean compromise on its performance given the Indian driving conditions.

Even if the cars like BV is launched in India for a price of 5Cr, we do not have roads to even test drive.....This is all stupidity even thinking of releasing,.........

The car has a listed base price of 1.6 million US Dollars.....Thats 8 Crore INR approximately.And over and above that slap a 100% rate of tax on that , and thats 16 crores...5-12 crores is definitely not the range of cost of the car.I am highly even doubtful if this car is made in right hand drive.Till date it has only been produced in LHD....It has never ever been produced in Right hand drive and Volkswagen have not made a statement saying that they'd look into the RHD matter.Seems very very unlikely.
