Bugatti Veyron in Berlin

gerbear1

I'm kinda curious about this. Has anybody seen the Bugatti Veyron in a showroom in Berlin? I saw it there about 5 years ago, then I saw somebody posting a photo of a Veyron from Berlin on Facebook recently, so I'm thinking the car is just always in the showroom. I think there's about 300 Veyrons in the world, so I presume they would be in very high demand, yet one just sits in a showroom in Berlin of all places. Why is that? Why aren't they selling it to some rich buyer? Who owns it?

Looks more like a mini dedicated museum than a showroom. There's a ford gt sitting in a showroom in Athlone. Strange things happen!

Ah so that's where I left it after my heavy night out in Munich!

I guess it's their money, so they can do whatever they want with it.

If I could afford veyron, I would park it on my roof with extra lightning, so everyone could see, how big of a dick I am .

O.A.P

Agree best I have been too anyway by a long way.
There could be better cities in the world but I have not found it yet.

I saw this one in a showroom in Berlin (city centre) a few months ago

That Veyron was still there a few weeks ago. Saw it myself. On Unter den Linden just up from the Brandenberg gate.

.Longshanks.

It has no working engine in it afaik and is possibly missing other vital components like the electrical system. It is not a running car anyway, so not really costing VW as much as one might think. They state this (or they did the last and only time I saw the car up close) on a plaque.

This area of Berlin is somewhat of a showcase for the big manufacturers to display their wares in plush showrooms. I presume the marketing return of millions of tourists Facebook pictures justifies it for them as well as the sales themselves.

Because it's the poorest city in Germany and there's a Veyron sitting there. Just seems a bit odd.
