Grandes Marques Auto Auction in Monaco Today

Posted May 10th 2008 9:02AM by Jared Paul Stern
Filed under: Wheels, Auctions

London auction house Bonhams is staging a Grandes Marques classic car auction in the principality of Monaco today featuring some of the world's most collectible automobiles. The star attraction - i.e. highest-priced lot - is an historic 1932 Bugatti Type 55 Super Sport that raced at Le Mans in 1934, which is estimated at about $4 - $5 million. However there are several very beautiful and more modern motorcars being sold for a fraction of that price.

For example, the gorgeous 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Competition Saloon pictured here, est. about $320,000 - $360,000, similar to the DB5 driven by James Bond (Sean Connery) in Goldfinger. Among our other favorites, as featured in the gallery below: A 1962 Bentley S3 Continental 'Flying Spur' Saloon, est. about $280,000 - $320,000; a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupé, est. about $690,000 - $760,000; a 1966 Maserati Mistral 4000 Spyder, est. about $420,000 - $500,000; a 1994 Bugatti EB110GT Coupé, one of only 154 built, est. about $340,000 - $420,000; and a 1971 Ferrari 365GTB/4 'Daytona' Berlinetta, est. about $400,000 - $480,000.

GQ Asks: "Is It Worth It?"

Posted Apr 22nd 2008 4:02PM by Jared Paul Stern

In the May issue of GQ hitting stands this week, the magazine gets its hands on twelve of the most expensive items of their kind on Earth to evaluate whether they're really worth the price. From the $5,980 Toto Neorest 600 toilet to the $1.5 million Bugatti Veyron, they try to determine the difference between comically overpriced and extremely valuable.

If you have the money, the magazine says, some things are indisputably worth every penny. The Toto toilet for one, as well as the $64,950 Hastens Vividus bed, a $148,000 pair of ugly but awesome Wilson Audio speakers, and, yes, the Veyron.

Things that are more hype than merit, however, include $6,500 Cheval Blanc wine, $600 java made from the excrement of a coffee bean-eating Indonesian civet cat, the $30,000-per-night Ty Warner Suite at the Four Seasons in Manhattan, and $160 Kobe beef rib eye steak. According to author Benjamin Wallace, "I've had $18 bar steaks that gave me more pleasure." We're willing to take his word for it.

Bugatti Veyron Fbg by Hermes

Bugatti -- the name alone conjures luxurious dreams but when paired with Hermes it just might make your head spin! Together they make a beautiful couple in one sexy car -- the Bugatti Veyron Fbg by Hermes. With the "H" logo on all four wheels and "Hermes" engraved on the fuel door it might sound a bit ostentatious but when it costs more than $2 million what kind of harm do a couple of extra labels really do. Seen at the Geneva 2008 Motor Show I'm sure it turned plenty of heads... for more ogling see the photos below.

The Bugatti Volo Toaster

Apparently Bugatti is hoping to not only fill your garage with their products, but your kitchen also. First a blender, then an espresso machine, and now a toaster. What's next, a bread machine?

Back to the toaster (though I would love a bread machine, Bugatti!). The Bugatti Volo Toaster has features including 6 browning options, extra wide bread slots, a crumpet-warming rack, and a motorized toast lifting system for the ultimate in convenience (and no more fishing for shorter slices with a fork or butter knife). Comes in stainless steel or black, £169.50.

Bugatti Has Arrived -- in Moscow!

Filed under: Wheels

Luxury car maker, Bugatti, recently stated it will begin distribution of its elite vehicles in Russia. To mark the occasion a posh dinner-gala was held at Barvija Luxury Village hosting executives and socialites while highlighting the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 model. Initially, Bugatti plans to market ten cars but may add more in the future with prices starting at $1.7 million! Quite the price tag! If you already know where the Bentley salons are you'll find the Bugatti right alongside. I don't know about you but if I had $1.7 million to blow I would spend it on a trip around world! Cars don't do very well crossing an ocean.

Simon Cowell Picks Up A Bugatti Veyron

Simon Cowell blew some serious cash on some serious wheels recently when he had some spare time on his hands (and apparently some spare cash) due to a week off work for the Rugby World Cup. He dropped over £1,000,000 in LA on two new cars: a £750,000 Bugatti Veyron and a £400,000 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. Simon Cowell hardly seems to shy away from flash and attention, and although fast cars don't necessarily mean an ego problem (I would love to have a Veyron myself!) I think in his case they might!

The Colorless Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang

Filed under: Wheels

I love a shiny red sports car as much as the next person, but here's something completely different: how about getting a new Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang and passing on the paint job altogether? The colorless design ends up two-toned, and highlights both the functionality and artistic beauty of the vehicle. The dark carbonfiber down the center covers the W16 engine, passenger cell, crash box, and linkages to the wheels while the shinier aluminum sides give the car its sleek shape and silhouette. The car will be available in limited edition for about 1.4m euros.

So what do you think? I love it.

1927 Baby Bugatti Coaster Car Replica

Filed under: Wheels

Based on a real Baby Bugatti purchased at auction, Authentic Model's reproduction was made to the exact scale of the original and comes loaded with all the bells and whistles one would expect on a 1927 plaything for the rich and famous. Except the battery-powered electric engine and wiring, of course. You'll need to obtain that on your own before you can power around in the height of Gatsby-style luxury. The coaster features handmade aluminum coachwork and frame, cast aluminum wheels and leather bonnet straps and seat. The radiator is chrome-finished bronze and the brakes and gears are included. $4,000.

Riding in Nazarian's Bugatti Veyron

Sam Nazarian is big business. CEO of SBE Entertainment, Sam is quickly making a name for himself with a number of the highest-end restaurants, most exclusive clubs (L.A.'s famous Hyde is one), and most sought-after real estate to name just a few of his many projects. So what does a man like Sam do in his spare time? Drive around in his new Bugatti Veyron, impressing women, of course.

And Sue Callaway, of Fortune magazine, definitely seemed impressed when she got to ride in, and test drive, the $1.4 million sports car. Smooth, exclusive, and "jet-like" (Sue's words) in speed and power, I might never be interested in spending that much on a car, but I sure would have loved having her job that day.

Don't you hate that sick feeling you get when you have some motoring mishap. You know, the nauseous feeling that repairs are needed and are gonna be expensive. Well, try having those feelings about your million dollar Bugatti Veyron of which you just lost control. Our brethren over at Autoblog have all the details about this sad event. My question is, "Why would you drive your supercar in the rain?" Apparently, the crash occurred in the U.K. and there isn't much choice about driving in the rain. We want to warn you, the pictures may be disturbing to some. Luxury super car carnage!!

Bugatti Espresso Machine

Filed under: Dining

Easily one of the most stylish espresso machines on the market, even sleeker than the eye-candy Francis Francis machines, the Diva Espresso Machine, by Bugatti. The unit is made of die-cast aluminum with a chromed finish, has a 15-bar pump for quick extraction and a fast startup time for the built-in heating elements. The machine pulls two shots at a time, either through fresh packed grounds or pods, and has an attached steam wand for frothing milk, a process which is helped along by the easy-to-read gauge in the front of the machine that clearly marks the appropriate temperature ranges for pulling shots and steaming milk. Price: €650 ($825).

Vela Bugatti Blender

Filed under: Dining

This Vela Mixer by the Bugatti design house was originally intended to professional use, but is now available to private consumers. Its base is made from chromed steel and the body is in chrome ABS, so it has a polished, elegant look that you'll want to display on the counter, rather than tucking it away in a cabinet like so many other appliances. The 500-watt blender has three speeds and a pulse function, and due its professional design, the stainless steel blade is able to crush ice and prepare other foods faster and more easily than other blenders are. Price: €180.
