Bugatti has admitted it still has possession of around 40 Veyron supercars, each with a price tag of more than EUR 1.4 million (US $1.9 million).
The French firm debuted the ultra-high-end vehicle in 2006, but sales slowed after the 300 coupe models were all sold off. The Grand Sport and Grand Sport Vitesse convertibles, added later, were limited to 150 units overall.
No additional models are in the pipeline and Bugatti will not develop a new supercar until all Veyron units have been sold, according to Bloomberg.
Just last December Bugatti announced it had sold its 400th car, but the remaining 40 convertibles amount to $85 million of untapped profits, reportedly presenting a problem for the firm. In addition, many aficionados will be awaiting an update to the eight year old car.
Bugatti recently devised the ‘Dynamic Drive Experience’, which allows potential buyers to experience the motors - capable of speeds up to 431 km/h - on expansive tracks and closed airport runways. Perhaps the firm is hoping to rev up sales with the more interactive approach.
