Not that you probably thought it was
From EVO magazine
The first Service on a Veyron costs £13,645 – and then they get more expensive. Bugatti says the bulk of the cost is labour £6000 which includes the checking of the many and complex systems on the car. Then there’s the monumental cost of replacing the Veyron’s bespoke tyres (which are 365-710 R540A), something Bugatti insists is done every 2500 miles. They cost £6325 each and to make matters worse only Bugatti can fit them. Also all 4 wheels need to be replaced every third tyre change (after 7500 miles tops) and that will set you back £29,900. At least you get a 2 year warranty with a Veyron but if you want to extend it then you’ll be asked for an extra £38,000 for a year or £63,000 for 2 years. Just 4 years of ownership, 3000 miles and £275k of depreciation would cost £38.51 per mile.

...alternatively, you could buy a couple of decent specced Sciroccos every service...

Sounds depressing..
..and stupid. it was great when the Mclaren out dragged it up to 120, before the extra power of that big bus took over.

I was thinking the exact same thing but probably not for likes of us you don't like wheel poke. They'll be fatties!

Potential for a nice coffee table though!

I've always wanted a glass coffee table set ontop of some nice alloys. Good shout
