Bugatti enthusiasts apparently can make up their minds quickly to spend substantial amounts of money for their favorite car. The elite Italian carmaker has announced all 30 of the new Veyron 16.4 Super Sport have sold — each starting with a base price of about $2.3 million. 
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport has an eight-liter W16 engine matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch and 1,200 horsepower. It has a top speed of 257 mph.
Last June, the Veyron achieved on a test track a new land speed world record for production cars at 268 mph.
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is still available. It’s not as quick as the Veryon, but has a stop speed 223 mph.
