In case anyone is in the market, [The Las Vegas Review Journal Article](http://www.lvrj.com/living/25458959.html) shows you a picture of one of the Lamborghini cars on sale, should you hit big on those penny slots. One costs $1.8 million dollars and has a “Don’t Touch” sign on it - I would imagine they want you to step back and not drool on it either.

Seriously - can you imagine driving to your local Walmart and parking that while you go in to buy milk?

I can imagine the insurance costs alone would set me back a few mortgage payments…

The $1.8 million car is actually a Bugatti Veyron.

Here’s a video of one racing a Eurofighter Typhoon.

FYI, that video is from [Top Gear](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_(current_format)), which if you like cars, is the best show ever, in the world. If you don’t like cars, it’s _still_ the best show ever in the world.

The article calls the Veyron an “Italian sports car”, but AFAIK, (from watching Top Gear), it’s a showcase car for VW, which [Wikipedia tells me](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Automobiles_SAS) is manufactured under contract in France. So not Italian at all.

BTW, it might cost _you_ 1.8 million (if you can get your hands on one), but it really is a showcase car; each one costs VW 5 megabucks to make.
