EB110 SS by “Bugatti” to be sold for just 475,000 UK.
Bugatti has earned great respect in the automotive world and their creation known as Veyron has earned tons of awards due to the spectacular engineering involved in it. Usually there are very rare companies which not only improved their standards but also gained some undisputed respect in the fans and People usually think of Bugatti as that kind of a company but thats not true at all.

Other one is just delivered to his island home in Jamaica.

Limited Edition Ferrari to come after LaFerrari?
Remember how we declared LaFerrari the car of the decade? We guess there is one more variant of it coming and it is confirmed by autocar who managed to get an interview of Flavio Manzoni, cheif designer of the car. According to Flavio Manzoni a particular design which he liked was put on hold for the making of LaFerrari, and now it will go into production on a limited basis. The car would be a true limited edition, means less than 10 cars would be made and the price tag will be between £3 million and £5 million. Keeping in view the price tag we wonder what is it that Ferrari is going to offer into this car. I mean they named the previous model LaFerrai which means the ultimate one, but now it isn’t!
