Jeez; where's a dashboard camera when you really need it? Well, for now, the only piece of evidence we have about this extremely costly accident between an Aston Martin (reportedly a DB9, but we wouldn't be surprised if it's another model) and a Bugatti Veyron is the single photo seen here.

Scoop: Transformers 4 Robots Undisguised, Including New Camaro Bumblebee [33 Photos]

The best thing about the Transformers movie series is catching a glimpse of the new vehicle characters before the film hits theaters. According to some, the worst thing is actually watching the movies, though, opinions may vary on this one….

Back to the pre-viewing part of this story, while cruising around GM's Proving Grounds center in Michigan in search for prototypes, our spies were surprised to see a filming crew for the upcoming Transformers 4 blockbuster, and together, an assortment of new Autobots, including the new Bumblebee dressed in a 2014 Camaro Coupe suite.

Besides the trademark yellow and black color scheme, the new Bumblebee model sports a slightly different front end than the facelifted 2014 Camaro with an even tighter grille and headlamp assembly plus a restyled bumper, along with a fixed rear spoiler, a grounds kit and a vented rear bumper.

A Design Concept for a Baby Bugatti Veyron Supercar

Unless there's something else cooking in the VW Group's kitchen, the next car to wear the "EB" (the initials of the brand's founder, Ettore Bugatti) logo will be the production version of the 2009 Galibier super-saloon with over 1,000 horses and an expected date of arrival after 2015, following a recent push back of the project.

So, what if Bugatti wanted to enhance its range with a different (see smaller and more affordable) supercar than the famed Veyron, what would that model be and look like?

Rapper Flo Rida Buys Gold Chrome-Wrapped Bugatti Veyron to "Floss and Stunt"

If you thought flossing and stunting were two unrelated words, one meaning to clean one’s teeth with a string, while the other referring to jumping through a window made of sugar, the English language slang says no!

Flossing and stunting is what “ballers and gangsters” do, and it basically means to show off one's opulent material possessions, and really make sure everybody has seen you, so that you make insecure less financially fortunate people feel uneasy.

EVO Puts Bugatti Veyron GS Vitesse Up Against Pagani Huayra

The latest video from EVO Magazine is not about exact horsepower numbers, or zero to sixty times, as their latest drive is all about how one feels driving two hypercars in the south of France.

The first contender is the classic hypercar choice, the Bugatti Veyron, in Grand Sport Vitesse guise, and it is driven alongside the first right-hand drive Pagani Huayra, which has just reached its first UK customer.

Watch What It's Like to Drive Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse for 3 Days and 1,000 Miles

While the Bugatti Veyron is the absolute superlative of car ownership, the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse can only be the…superlative of the superlative. With 1,200PS (compared to “just” 1,001PS in the regular Veyron) and the option of open-top driving, the Vitesse is the fastest roadster in the world, as it can reach 410 km/h (255mph). Furthermore, the massive 8-liter W16 engine catapults the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 2.6 seconds. Read more »

First Official Video of 2014 Need for Speed Movie

Over the past few months, we've seen photographs (scoops, if you will), and even a couple of videos from the film sets of the Need for Speed movie, which is scheduled for release in March 2014, but they were all shot by fans, nothing official, until earlier today, when Ford shared a picture of the hero car, a specially designed, wide-body 2013 Mustang.

If that picture got your engines running, then the first official video from the makers of the movie will surely hit some high revs.

Koenigsegg Agera S Hundra Tries Bugatti Veyron On for Size in Lengthy Video

These are good times for those wealthy enough to purchase a hypercar, and despite many regions of the world battling it out with an acute state of economic uncertainty, the market still offers up a wide selection to choose from.

For the more discerning and restrained older customer, there is the Bugatti Veyron – the classic choice, while for the more flamboyant (Oriental) buyer there is the 100th car Koenigsegg has ever built, the suggestively-named Agera S Hundra. Well, actually not this particular one, because its gold-laden interior is going to be used by a wealthy Malaysian collector who commissioned it for himself.

Sounds Like a Great Deal: Pre-Order a Bugatti Replica for $150,000 from Craigslist…

Ask anyone who knows what a motorized vehicle with four wheels is if he or she would like to own a Bugatti Veyron, and the answer would be a great, loud "yes". Aspiring to own one, and being able to do so, are two very different things, as the Molsheim, France-based carmaker's single production model costs as much as a couple of brand-new Lamborghini Aventdaor LP700-4s and a pretty family house to go with it.

What is that we hear you say; replica cars? Sure, if you don't mind rolling around a Suzuki hatch or a Civic dressed as a Veyron… Are there any better ones? Well, the 2002 Mercury Cougar-based Veryon clone we found a few years back wasn't that bad from the pictures, though, we've no idea how it looked up close. All this brings us to a Craigslist ad discovered by Carscoops reader Max.

Watch the Bugatti Veyron Tackle Fuji Speedway with Le Mans Winner Seiji Ara Behind the Wheel

Japanese magazine Motorhead released a video with the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport taking on Japan’s most scenic track, the Fuji Speedway, located at the foothills of Mount Fuji. Driving the 1,001-hp car is 2004 Le Mans winner, Seiji Ara, so expect to see the Veyron driven very fast on a twisty track - something we don’t get to watch very often.

The Veyron is more of a straight-line machine, and its speed records certify that - however, that doesn’t mean it can’t do corners.

Are These Supercars from Need for Speed Movie Just Replicas?

We have to admit that we were really impressed when we saw the kind of machinery the producers of the upcoming "Need for Speed" movie were able to get their hands on – a McLaren P1, Koenigsegg Agera R, Spania GTA, not to mention the more than exclusive Lamborghini Sesto Elemento…

However, judging from these new photos that surfaced on the Internet, some of these cars seem to be replicas of the original models. A Reddit user posted close-up shots of the McLaren P1 and Koenigsegg Agera R in which the two hypercars look fake.

Bugatti Teaser of "Latest Example of Exceptional Performance" Shows Absolutely Nothing

Bugatti has just released a "teaser" for an upcoming model, but we have absolutely no clue as to what it will be. That is down, in part, to them deliberately being ambiguous with the information they share, and in part to the fact that, the teaser they showed features a set of blue hangar doors, with light protruding through the gap – that's all. So, what is it?

The rumored replacement for the ageing Veyron, or another variant of the current car, but with more power, designed to take back the crown as world's fastest car?

Aww, Ain't that Cute? Mini-Me Bugatti Veyron Clone Built on a Suzuki

With 1,001PS (987hp) and a top speed of 408.47 km/h (253.81 mph) for the base model, and 1,200PS (1,184hp) and an even higher maximum speed of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) for the Super Sport, what's not to like about Bugatti's Veyron hypercar?

Well, you can start with the fact that production is limited to a few hundred cars, but what we really dislike about the Veyron is its $1.7 million + price tag…

While you won't be surprised to learn that other gearheads feel the same, you may lift an eyebrow after seeing what some people will do about it.
