here's a news story on it: The Galveston County Daily News he's a real smart one. Sounds like it didn't suck water into the intake but he left it running for 15 minutes after he climbed out and got to shore?? He was talking on his cellphone when it happened!

New models sell for about $2 million. The man, who refused to give his name, was looking at real estate in Galveston. About 3 p.m. a low-flying pelican distracted him as he traveled north on Interstate 45 just south of the hurricane levee near Omega Bay. The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone, and the car's front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon. The Veyron's powerful engine gurgled like an outboard motor for about 15 minutes before it died.
Wow quite the sight :what: But you know this only adds value to the existing owners, as soon as they stop producing the Bugati it will be just like the Enzo.
Last year when I was in LA they had two at one dealer... I don't think it is that hard to get one yet if you have the $$...
That stinks! The user removed the video. Edit: Don't know how I missed the link to the story. I saw the video there. What a shame, such a nice car.
That Bugatti Veyron was one of only 200 made and one of only about 15 in the United States, the AP reported. Well, there are now 199 in the world and 14 in the US
