2007 Bugatti Veyron Sets Auction Record with $2 Million Sale
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A 2007 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has set a new benchmark for the model at auction, selling for a staggering £1,527,000—equivalent to just over $2.04 million—during Bonhams' prestigious sale at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Modern Collector Essentials: The Best Products for Cars with Matte Paint or Satin Wraps The hammer price marks the highest amount ever paid for a standard-production Veyron at public auction, surpassing previous records by a significant margin. While special-edition models like the Veyron Super Sport or Grand Sport Vitesse have fetched lofty sums in private sales, this standard 16.4 coupe now stands as the most expensive example of its kind ever publicly sold. Originally launched in the mid-2000s, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 revolutionized the hypercar world with its 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine producing 1,001 horsepower. It was the first production car to exceed 250 mph, and its blend of engineering, performance, and exclusivity cemented its place in automotive history. Just 450 Veyrons were produced globally across various trims between 2005 and 2015. The record-breaking 2007 example featured low mileage and a pristine factory-correct condition, making it particularly attractive to collectors. While Bonhams had estimated the car would sell for a figure well below its final bid, spirited competition among bidders quickly pushed the price skyward. 10 Must-Have Tools and Gear for the Modern Car Collector (Amazon Edition) Auction observers note the sale as a strong indicator of the market's growing appetite for early-2000s hypercars. With values for models like the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT already surging, the Veyron's newfound status as a record-breaker could signal broader appreciation for the era's groundbreaking performance machines. This latest milestone confirms that, nearly two decades after its debut, the Veyron still commands awe—and astonishing prices. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Bugatti's New Business Strategy: Become Even More Elitist
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Bugatti, one of the most extreme high-end super-luxe automakers on Earth, is introducing a new car this week called Solitaire. It's fittingly named, as it will be the first of the brand's new 'ultra-exclusive program of one-of-one cars.' So forget assembly lines, we're going back to coachbuilding for kings and princes. There's no indication that Bugatti's existing lineup, which is also basically hand built, is being dissolved, but it looks like the French brand is going to start leaning a little harder into one-offs based on its announcement today. This is not a random pivot. Bugatti's been doing one-off treatments on its cars since its early days, and in fact, some of its most spectacular creations were the result of trying to outclass coachbuilders when the cottage industry for one-of-a-kind cars was thriving. The Type 57 SC Atlantic is an example of such a machine, dreamed up by Jean Bugatti to be art-on-wheels, as it's still rightfully considered to this day. As a middle-class road user myself, I find Bugatti's proclamation of creating not a car but a 'celebration of grace and elegance' a little eye-roll inducing. But as a lover of fine art and fanciful engineering, well, I can't deny that I'm excited to see what Bugatti's people will come up with. So far, this is the only teaser image of the Solitaire we've seen. Bugatti Without the limitations of mass production, there's a whole lot of room for designers and tuners to go hog wild. A return to coachbuilding (the classy way to describe one-off custom cars) makes sense for this moment in history, too, as we seem to be hurtling back towards guilded-age economics with a small group of people amassing so much money that a regular base-model Bugatti just isn't going to cut it. Or, looking at it another way, there might soon be more of a market for a single $5,000,000 car than 10 $500,000 ones. We'll see what exactly Bugatti's cooking up, and get more details on the Solitaire, this Thursday, August 7. Got a tip? Drop us a line at tips@
