While initial price was around $1 million, demand extremely low quantities built has pushed that number upwards nearing $2 million in some areas. With that said, if you frequent the more mainstream news sites, you’ve probably seen or heard of the unlucky rich chap in Texas who decided to submarine his $2 million Bugatti Veyron into a salt...
