I expect the 'RRR' logo stands for Really Really Rich!

I saw the car in question tonight (again!) and snapped some pics this time.







How does it look in person? Well... quite small and... like a Veyron really! REALLY quiet at idle which was a smidge disappointing, I have never seen a car garner so much attention though, VW have done a bloody good job cementing this thing in the public consciousness as THE ultimate supercar, everybody from little rudeboys to scantily clad tarts to old women were snapping the thing, madness!

it looked rather smart...but really, whats the point in driving it in london all the time, surely he never gets out of first gear?

I'm sorry but that orange and black colour scheme is just pants.

The white/silvergrey combo they showed on the cover of Evo looked the business. I'll go for that colour combo when I get mine

The only reason you could have for driving around there in a Veyron is to show off, which is a bit pathetic really IMHO.

Nice car though

The amount of people who have seen that car doing seemingly nothing I think that is the chaps full time occupation to be honest!
