The Bugatti Veyron is famous for its searing speed, but as a used car it’s equally famous for its eye-watering maintenance costs.
The bespoke Michelin PAX tyres are $40,000 a set, while every four tyres changes the wheels are stress tested and if they need to be replaced, they are $12,500 a corner. Even an annual service is $25,000.
US outfit Royalty Exotic Cars decided it would go DIY and have filmed the video above to illustrate just how to perform a routine oil change on one of the world’s fastest and most exotic cars.
In order to complete an oil change, the entire rear of the car needs to be disassembled, including the rear guards and bumper, spoiler, fuel cap and rear bodywork. After all, there is no bonnet on a Veyron, as the 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16 is exposed to the air to try and control the crazy heat it emits.
Oh, if you’re wondering why the Veyron in the video looks a little different, it’s one of two Veyron Mansory Vivere models.
