Bugatti: 1,001 horsepower, $1.24 million
Reports: VW starts production of its new supercar, the Bugatti Veyron.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Volkswagen's latest product probably won't be very good on gas and it has a rather high price tag. But that hasn't stopped a handful of people from putting down payments on the car before production started earlier this month.

Each Bugatti Veyron 16.4 will cost an estimated $1.24 million, according to media reports. For that, buyers will get an all-wheel-drive two-seat sports car with a lightweight carbon-fiber body and 16-cylinder engine capable of producing 1,001 horsepower.

VW purchased the Bugatti name in 1998, according to a report in the industry newspaper Automotive News Europe, and introduced a concept version of the Veyron at the Tokyo auto show the following year.

It has taken the intervening six years to perfect the car, according to the Automotive News report and others, and there had been doubts that the car would ever actually be sold. In a 2003 public debut at Laguna Seca Raceway, a prototype Veyron spun out of control.

We went in August to the Concours' d'elegance at Pebble Beach and it was there, What a beautiful automobile. I think they will get it actually in to small production, but the cost will be out there.

I agree that it's not a very good looking car, but it's definitely unique. Doesn't matter to me ....... I couldn't afford to put gas in it.
