Fancy a Bugatti Veyron, or Six?

Ever been to a motor show and day dreamed about driving a super car off the stand and taking it home? Well at the Dubai International Motor Show that is exactly what happened.
Whilst at many motor shows that you may visit, car manufacturers display their cream of the crop purely to wet the appetite; in Dubai where money is not a problem they do things slightly differently. When the dust had settled and the money was counted cars to the tune of $27m US dollars had been sold. Not only were the Mini and BMW stands emptied of cars by cash rich expats and United Arab Emirates residents, but a whole host of super cars also left the stands to be driven home by their gleaming new owners. Six Bugatti Veyron’s, a Pagaini Zonda, a Murcielago roadster, and Gallardo Spider and a Gallardo Coupe where amongst the many cars leaving the event with new owners. The total sales figure resulting from the motor show is expected to rise significantly as the weeks go on with orders being taken at the event and across Dubai.
