Bugatti Veyron's upholstery costlier than a home in India: Facts about the super expensive car

There is no doubt that the Bugatti Veyron is one of most famous cars in motoring history to challenge top-speed limits. It is also very well known that those limits are tested in utmost luxury painted throughout the car. (Source: Reuters)

But the Bugatti, unlike most supercars, is best left to be purchased by the rich supercar enthusiast. And that's not only because of the $1.7 million (Rs 12 crore) price tag that it carries. Everything from maintenance to spare parts cost a bomb. Here's what you could do instead of splurging on the car. (Source: Reuters)

The regular service for the Bugatti Veyron costs $30,000 (Rs 20.5 lakh). For that price, why don't you buy a nice new superbike? The BMW S1000RR starts at a price of Rs 18.9 lakh. (Source: Reuters)

If you need just an oil change, it is going to set you back $21,000 (Rs 14.4 lakh). A top-spec Toyota Yaris retails for about Rs 14.07 lakh ex-showroom. (Source: Reuters)

Bugatti says the tyres need to be changed every 4,000 km. A set of these fast burning rubbers cost another $30,000 (Rs 20.5 lakh). If you fancy SUV's, Mahindra's top-spec XUV500 retails for Rs 18.98 lakh ex-showroom. (Source: Reuters)

The problem with the tyres is that every third change, the entire rim has to be changed. This is because the tyre is glued to the rim to keep it from blowing away at launch. That will burn a hole as deep as $120,000 (Rs 82.6 lakh). A lovely little 1BHK could be yours in suburban Mumbai for that price. (Source: Reuters)

Going too hard on your gears could warrant a transmission change. A new gearbox will cost you $123,200 (Rs 84.8 lakh). Fancy one more house in the suburbs? Or just use the money from the rims, add it to this and come closer to the heart of the city. (Source: Reuters)

People have also purchased custom leather interiors for the car amounting to $72,500 (Rs 49.9 lakh). Instead, buy an all new Jaguar XF starting at an ex-showroom price of Rs 47.5 lakh. (Source: Reuters)
