^ maybe because they expect more maintenance issues in the long term; there might be many factors that must go into the rental pricing.

I would think 5k. I have had friends who rent Ferraris on trips to LA to ball it and they pay around 1500 for a 430 ferrari with limited mileage. 25k is a joke. If they can afford the 25k for a day then I am sure he already has one at home or something damn fast

I guess it's not a total ripoff since there is unlimited mileage and the other exotics have only 50 miles per day included.

That's a bit excessive. Although, the car is a cool mil.

I still one would have to be high to drop 25k for the rental of a Bugatti Veyron unless its a studio who wants to use it to put it next to the shiny teeth of the most recent ghetto rapper

I rather buy a 2009 Mazda MX-5 for $25k than renting this ugly thing for a day.
