That'll buff right out. LOL
 
Yikes, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
 
Given the powertrain is in the rear of the car, I think this is entirely fixable. It's mostly cosmetic damage, and the modular body should make it easier to fix.
 
Cost really depends on how much front suspension damage there is, as well as frame damage.
 
This one will be fixed, unless Bugatti buys it for study.

yeah its mostly cosmetic damage and as long as the major components stay intact it can be fixed but still its going to be one hell of a repair bill for the poor soul that crashed this thing. Something tells me a drunk paris hilton was driving but we'll never know

I hope they're able to fix the Astra.

portland or  
Depends on how much the frame / unibody got mangled, as well as drivetrain, engine, etc.
 
Given the Veryons are mostly handbuilt, I'm guessing $50 - 100K to fix everything.

$50 - 100k? say that again! The wiper stick alone cost $5500 to replace. This thing takes a oil refinery to feed its thirsty and a new ferrari to repair.

The front wheels seem unscathed. I guess that means the drivetrain was undamaged. I'll tell ya one thing, I'd hate to be the insurance company for this incident. The article doesn't say what it hit. Whatever this guy's premiums were before are nothing compared to the mortgage-sized ones he'll be paying afterward.

I want to say that I read somewhere repairs will total around $186,000..that could have been the CGT that bit the dust in "Redline"
I don't remember, but its feasible.

The damage is mostly cosmetic. I believe the maximum it might cost is $100,000 but, its never going to drive the same again.
 
Unless you've got miles and miles of flat road, this car really isn't worth the money. 253 miles per hour is too dangerous for driving anyway.
