The Daily Mail has some pics up today of Simon Cowell driving around LA in his black Bugatti Veyron. If you don't know, the Veyron is the fastest street-legal car in the world (or maybe second fastest, depending on who you believe) and costs around 1.4 million. It has a top speed just over 250mph, thanks to a W16 engine, which is basically two V8 engines in a W shape. The Mail says:
Cowell bought the car in Los Angeles last October, in a huge car-buying splurge that month which saw him scoop up a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe back in the UK. A snip in comparison to the Bugatti at just £300,000.The reality TV multi-millionaire who is reported to be worth over £100million already owns a fleet of luxury cars, including a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.In an interview with Top Gear he waxed lyricial about his Rolls Royce: "It's the most beautiful, most comfortable, best-engineered car ever built. I can hardly bring myself to say it but it's – oh, sod it! – perfect."When I drove the car I felt so good, I knew I had to have one. So, I spent £300,000 on one for my house here in LA."I'm going to pick up another when I get back to London and I am already on the waiting list for the 100EX cabriolet."
I don't think I'm alone when I say that Simon Cowell and his fabulous life can go fuck themselves.
