Default Car Crash: Aston Martin DB9 Rear Ends Bugatti Veyron

http://www.gtspirit.com/2013/07/08/c...ugatti-veyron/.



Unfortunately we have another Bugatti Veyron accident to report today. This time it looks as though the Veyron was the innocent victim of an Aston Martin DB9 owners failure to pay proper attention. We dont know for sure though as we dont have the details on the accident. The accident happened in Moscow right after Auto Exotica 2013 Car Show.

There have been a number of Bugatti Veyron car crashes in the past. Most recently a grey example crashed in the US out on track. Weve seen two grand sports with major damage, one was spotted in the workshop whilst another, the Sang Blanc, was spotted on a low loader. We then saw the infamous pelican induced salt water Veyron. Before that we saw a Veyron wreck into a field in the UK!

If you have any further information on this latest accident, please do drop us a line!

This is one time a DB9 hit something so expensive it makes the DB9 look like a Yugo.

whats funny is when I see cars like that I stay back a bit because I could only imagine the drama of crashing into an exotic. Plus with love for these machines comes respect. Respect for the car and the owners time and money in acquiring a machine like that

I must be the only person in the world that would take an Aston Martin over a Bugatti. I seriously love the brand.

You're not the only one. I would take the Aston over the Bugatti any day of the week.

Both of the cars premiums are paid up front in full for the year. Most if not all regular insurance companies that the avg. ppl use will require you to pay the full year up front on a car of that value.

But even still, that wreck is not going to be cheap for the Aston owner.

The owners probably pay a month what I paid for my car cash

The insurance adjusters make sure they pay a pretty penny in case anything like this happens.

Nah, me too. A Bugatti is a car I would own just to own one. I would actually drive an Aston, so it's much higher up on the priority list (not necessarily the DB9, though).

Me too. IMO, the Veyron is not a good looking car.

I once had a Veyron drive the street I'm just off of and they were doing like 20mph in a 45mph. And nobody freaking cared because it was an event! There were super rare Porsche's and a couple Ferrari's staying behind him and I actually cursed out-loud when I saw it drive by me...even though I was on a work conference call lol.

But if I had the money, I would go Aston over Bugatti. I once received a ride in a modded DB9 and it was utterly fantastic on all accounts.
