Sure, sure…first Bugatti went and made a one-million-pound car (that’d be about $2 million in today’s literally worth-less financial state), the Bugatti Veyron 16-4. Now Aston Martin feels the need to join the Club of Ridiculous Automobile Prices (I’ll let you work out what the acronym would be all on your own) with their one-million-pound (that’d be…eh, nevermind) One-77: A new flagship vehicle hand-made of aluminum and carbon fiber with a 7-liter, 12-cylinder beast of an engine. Zero to 60 time should come in at right around 3.5 seconds. Which is exactly how long it’ll take for a very limited number of people to go from “filthy rich” to “still filthy rich, but minus one check and plus one handmade supercar”. And yes, I think it’s beautiful, even if it does still kinda look like the much-less-expensive Jaguar XK. Oh, and what’s with the Chrysler logo in the middle of the wheel?

If you’re like us, you’ve been sitting around on your 150-foot megayacht sipping mai tais and silently cursing the fact that your Bugatti Veyron is just too…commonplace. I mean, you can’t go two years without seeing another one on the street, am I right?!

And if you’re like us, you then wake up from this fantasy only to learn that an even more exclusive, expensive and topless version of the Veyron has been announced. Behold the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. Limited, due to it’s toplessness, to a measly 217mph, and limited to just 80 units, Bugatti will command a minimum of $2.25 million for each one.

Take a number, get in line and start writing zeroes…
