The Bugatti Veyron is the one of the fastest cars on the planet today. It combines speed and class and makes for a really sleek package. But with a great car comes great maintenance. And make no mistake; the Rs 12-crore Veyron is one of the most expensive cars to own and maintain.

Given that each of the Veyron's parts is precision-made to handle the power of the engine and high speeds on the road, it should come as no surprise that each of them costs a queen's ransom. Replacing even a minor part on the Veyron will probably cost you as much as a new mid-sized sedan.

Bugatti recommends that the car's tyres be changed every 4,000 km. To add to that, the rims need to be changed at every third instance of a tyre change because the tyres are glued to the rims to keep them from coming out during launch.
