We handle all import requirements into the UK for the Gumball participants ensuring their vehicles clear customs once their car has arrived via sea/air and deliver their vehicle to our storage depot in London prior to rally start, or to whichever destination they choose such as their hotel

After the Rally has finished we will be collecting vehicles straight away in the highest quality car transporters, fully enclosed and insured to £20m per truck. Vehicles will then be delivered back to Gumballer addresses around the world via sea, air and road.

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Road Test

smcadmin — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:20:21 +0000

The Veyron Super Sport is a different car to the original Veyron – squeezing anymore speed or power out of an already near perfect car is not as simple as just fitting a remap!

VW has managed to boost output of the 8.0-liter W16 engine to 1,183 horsepower and torque to 1,106 pound-feet through a variety of enhancements, notably the application of four larger turbochargers and intercoolers. Power is fed to all four wheels through a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox.

Insuring these when we ship them is vital, even a slight knock can cost upwards of £40k to repair, tyres come in at around the same cost, in fact everything about it is expensive, but if you have the sort of money to buy one i’m sure you really don’t care!

EVO recently tested one and video of the road test is here:

Bugatti Veyron priced from $3.6M in India thanks to 110% taxation

smcadmin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 09:27:38 +0000

If you live in India, your list of available supercars to purchase just grew by one very fast model. Bugatti has announced it will begin selling its Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport there. Undeterred by the nation’s 110-percent import tax, Bugatti is taking orders for the topless two-door, which will cost about 160 million rupees or $3.6 million USD. For reference, the same model would cost you about $2.24 million here in the United States or €1.6 million in places dealing with Euros. After receiving the orders, the cars will take six to eight months to be delivered

India is a blooming market for luxury goods manufacturers, and Ferrari plans to follow Bugatti by shipping over its California hardtop convertible sportscar. Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Land Rover are already selling in India… and selling quite well, as the number of Indian millionaires continues to grow.
