The Bugatti Veyron is an exclusive car, and with a $1.5 million price tag, it should be. Dubai is an elitist city (or emirate, if we’re getting semi-technical). So, put the two together and what do you get? You get one in every five Veyrons produced going there.
Dubai is home to at least 15 Veyrons. The oil-wealthy rich emirate has just over 1 and a half million people enjoying the good life. That means roughly one in every 100,000 people have a Veyron – an impressive number. There are 60 million people in the UK and only 27 Veyrons (that’s one for every 2.3 million people, give or take).
With a car as fashionable and exclusive as the Veyron and the wealthy’s need to keep up with the Robinsons, the number or imported Veyrons could, likely, grow. We’ll wait in envy and see.

I just noticed that the front-to-rear proportions of that car suddenly look terrible with the roof removed. It’s much more obvious now that there is an absolutely enormous mill filling out the back half of the car.
dubai is so not populated as most of the ppl who work in it come from the other cities (or emirates [hey winding road how did you get this term?!!]). this is bc housing is very expensive over there. now ppl will imagine that moving from a city to another is such a long distance, no it ain’t. the enitire country (with all the cities and so) can be crossed from east to west in around 4 hours, i did it myself. between cities that are beside dubai (like sharjah) it takes 10-15 min. this is why the population in dubai is low.
another thing, ppl over there like to register their cars in dubai so that they get the dubai name plate on the car (which is according to them of a higher class). you can do it if you have relatives over there or if you work over there (you don’t have to live in dubai). this is why probably alnmst all of the veyrons in the entire country are registered in dubai.
after all, who cares about these bird brain, camel lovers. getting a veyron instead a camel is the real amazing thing.
It’s good to see our Fuel money goes to purchase such nice things.
Dubai may have lots of oil money, but it still can’t afford good taste.
