Bugatti Veyron is all set to enter India at a whopping price tag of 12 crores Rupees through its sole dealer Exclusive Motors, New Delhi. We had already brought this news to you months ago and broke the news that Exclusive Motors would be the official dealer.

The Bugatti Veyron is expected to be launched on the 28th of October and sources say there are already four confirmed orders for the supercar. The Veyron would come only as a Left Hand Drive and the car maker has specially made a request to Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) to exempt the Veyron and permit it to ply on Indian roads as a LHD.

The car is slated for launch soon but we cannot disclose its price. There are a few customers for Bugatti, but again their identities cannot be revealed now.

We hope Bugatti’s entry into India prompts other supercar manufacturers like Pagani, Spyker, SSC and Koenigsegg to enter the Indian market soon.

The Bugatti Veyron can travel over 400kph. It has over 1000hp. It has 16 cylinders and many turbochargers.

But isn’t it a car at the end of the day? And what ever affects our run-of-the-mill car, can wreak havoc even on a 17+ crore rupee car.

Like for example a flat tire. How much do you think it will cost to fix a flat tire? Or let me put this this way -

The big bad Bugatti Veyron has finally arrived in India and Exclusive Motors in New Delhi would be its official partner in India. Exclusive Motors already is the ‘exclusive’ dealer for Lamborghini and Bentley in India. The Bugatti Veyron comes with a 8.0 liter W16 quad-turbocharged 1,001 hp engine mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox and the word ‘acceleration’ would be an understatement for its 2.5 second 0-100 kmph sprint.

Though Bugatti’s official website doesn’t mention the name of the its Indian dealership, but said it was located at Hotel Samrat, New Delhi. We guess Exclusive Motors would be selling the Bugatti Veyron from its Lamborghini boutique located in the same Hotel. It is to be noted that the Bentley boutique of Exclusive Motors is located adjacently at The Ashok Hotel.

Sources say that the first Bugatti Veyron in India has already been delivered to a Mumbai based real estate tycoon. We all know Bugatti Veyrons come only in a two-two paint job, this Bugatti is Black and the second color is not known so far. The Bugatti Veyron is said to cost between 16 to 17.5 crore Rupees including all taxes and duties. Soon two more Bugattis would be delivered to a South Indian business magnate.

Since Bugatti Veyron comes only as a left hand drive model, Bugatti is said to have requested the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) to exempt the Veyron and permit it to ply on Indian roads. Would this mean other exotic marques like the Koenigsegg, Pagani, Spykar and all could come to India as a LHD version on a special basis. We wish DGFT could allow relatively cheaper, affordable muscle cars like the Mustang and Camaro to come in to India with special permissions.

One disturbing fact that we stumbled upon is that Bugatti’s official website and Bentley’s official website have a badly disfigured map of India (India without Jammu & Kashmir, precisely) on their pages.

In case you thought that the four-door four-seater Bugatti Royale was merely a speculation, these images from Auto Express confirming its existance will prove you wrong.

To mark 100 years of Bugatti, the Bugatti Veyron Royale will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The new Veyron is said to have been inspired by the legendary 1927 Type 41 Royale, and will be sold only to the company’s most loyal customers.

Bugatti Veyron Royale – Work in Progress…

• Bugatti and Bentley are to jointly develop a new front-engined limousine platform, that will serve the Royale as well as the next Bently Arnage.
• Veyron DNA such as its four-wheel-drive system and 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 engine will be retained. However, the engine will be mounted at the front.

Ferrari, what would you do now? You couldn’t tolerate a 4-door Porsche. You wished (sarcastically) Lamborghini “all the best” with their 4-door Estoque. Now with Bugatti‘s 4 door Royale, are you going to be gutted, so much that you might drop your clothes in protest in front of the whole crowd at Frankfurt?

Ferrari- Mummy, it’s all going wrong.

Mummy- Why darling? (in a comforting tone) What’s wrong? The world seems just fine.

Ferrari- Noo..(with tears down its cheeks) everyone’s making a 4-door supercar (uhh..uhh.) (takes a deep breath) Giving a supercar with 4 doors is like dressing up a championship Olympic swimmer with a tube top.

Mummy- Oh dear! Where are you learning all that? You must keep your distance from Mclaren. Look what Lewis and his friends have taught you. I’m talking to Mr.Mosley right away about this.

Mr. Mosley?? About tube tops and women?? Yeah right..

Although this article has got nothing to do with women and their inner garments, it’s just a way of putting forward how earnestly the battle field is heating up. The four-door supercar pavilion is ballooning rapidly, and surely with an announcement from Bugatti that their 4 door Royale is heading to join the champagne at the company’s 100th anniversary celebrations, it’s actually true- A supercar can have four doors.

Just when we were expecting a better and improved Veyron that could take the fight to beat SSC Aero TT’s top speed record (the Bugatti held it earlier), Bugatti has launched an updated version with better interiors and the trademark Blue colour named the Bleu Centenaire. The paint scheme is a mixture of Matte Blue and Gloss Blue.
