BUGATTI Veyron with F1 number plate

The world’s most expensive Bugatti Veyron, complete with F1 number plate, will be a star attraction at this year’s MPH Show featuring Top Gear Live at London’s Earls Court between 5-8 November.

If ever the phrase ‘if you need to ask the price, you can’t afford it’ was appropriate it’s now. But at the right price the car could be up for sale, according to owner Afzal Kahn.

He’s hoping his soft white 253mph supercar could be the perfect choice for newly crowned Formula One champion Jenson Button since it features the most expensive number plate sold in the UK.

Capable of catapulting the driver to 100mph in 5.5 seconds this particular 1,010 BHP Bugatti Veyron has no close modern rivals in terms of price tags. But show goers can be sure, if rivals exist, they’ll all be at MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show.

Already the ultra rare GTbyCITROËN, worth over £1 million, is scheduled to appear at the show alongside fire-breathing examples from Pagani and Koenigsegg. Rumours about the Ferrari FXX, Lamborghini GT600 and Pagani Zonda R making an appearance are also widespread.

This is Blasphemy....The McLaren F1 diserves that plate they only made 67 road cars vers 300 Veyron's and 150 Veyron Convertibles. The Bugatti is faster but The McLaren F1 is a more exotic supercar, more of a drivers car, less like a robot/boeing747!!

The McLaren F1 isn't a current car. If this were 1995 I would agree with you.

You do realize that you can pass a stationary Veyron in a McLaren F1 at 100mph, and be OWNED to 200mph, right?

I mean the McLaren will always be astonishing, but the Veyron is a testament to sheer engineering omnipotence.

And for the record, the person who mandated that a freaking license plate be put on the front of that car should be killed.

I saw on some car website some time ago, that Jenson Button has recently sold his Bugatti Veyron.
