If you buy it new that is...
We all know how expensive the famed Bugatti Veyron is. We all know that one needs to pony up well over a million and a half bucks to call convertible Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport your, own but did you know that if you live in India, you'll have to spend more than twice that amount?
You see, in India, there's a 110% tax on some luxury items, including the Veyron. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a Veyron will back you up 3.6 million clams in what is now Asia’s third-biggest economy.
According to Bloomberg, more than ¾ of India's population lives (if you can call it that...) on less than $2 a day while the net worth of India’s 100 wealthiest people is now of over $300 billion, which is quarter of India’s gross domestic product. India's population is of nearly 1.2 billion inhabitants.
No word from Volkswagen as to how many they will sell, but we can easily guess that there will be a number of takers. It is after all, one of the most desirable cars on the planet.
