Ralph Lauren Adds Another $100 Bill To His VAST Supercar Collection

You know why I don't mind buying racks of polo shirts from Ralph Lauren? Because I know somewhere down the line he'll buy another ridiculously rare car and in a way I had a part in that.

Oh-kay, I am not entirely serious. If I were that'd be pretty pathetic.

I recall someone once equated Lauren's Ferrari collection to something like this: "Sure, there are collectors out there that have a dozen or so Ferraris but here's the thing. Ralph Lauren's collection is like 10 $100 bills while the other guys all have 10 $10 dollar bills."

Well, it looks like the infamous clothier has added yet another $100 bill to the collection in form of a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition.

Now that end bit, "World Record Edition" is a big deal. That's because there's only five in the world and one in the U.S. However, Lauren's is said to be the sixth and his vehicle is now the second in the States.

I came across these pictures recently which show Ralph's Veyron Super Sport (world record edition) with a few nice touches of his special customization. It looks pretty incredible and is yet another unique car to add to his mind blowing collection!

Unless he regularly drives his "collection" the way it was meant to be driven, I'm not impressed. He's got money, put 20,000 miles on these things and let it breathe.

Understandable point.

If only there were more Jay Lenos, Jay Kay or James Glickenhaus' in the world to REALLY exercise their collections.

I love in one video how Jay Kay is driving his Miura and says something about how he loves taking his cars out and stretching their legs because "kids just don't have the chance to hear a Miura screaming past at 3,000 revs" anymore. Something to that effect.

Yeah, I screwed that paraphrasing horribly.

He is commenting on how some fools buy these cars and hide them away while the kids today never see them today and won't know what it's like to see a Lamborghini Miura "busting past you at 130 140 miles an hour."

Awe, I was vastly disappointed by this article, I thought someone actually had a car collection worth over 100 billion dollars. :'(

Instead it's simply just one of many exotica purchases.
