Bloody real estate salesmen!At least it had the fortitude to gurgle before dying,I thought he should have stayed in it until it finished sinking.With a top speed like that he probably should have booted it and it might have flown over the water.

"the hand-made 736kW engine gurgled like an outboard engine for about 15 minutes before dying"
What a horrible, horrible person, and a pelican swooping cars? Such a sad story

Good idea. There's one in America going cheap, mild water damage. 😂CrazyBug wrote:now the real story would be fitting the w16 quad turbo into a vdub 😂

Looks a little contrived to me. A realestate salesman / developer can't be doing too well in the US atm - and all this caught conveniently on video? I think the insurance boys will be taking a closer look at this one. Or did he admit that there was no insurance?

If you watch the video there's no pelican that swoops him. He just drives it straight off into the water. Definately an insurance job trying to make money if you ask me.
The fact that he didn't turn it off only proves this further.

Yes the Bugatti is technically a Volkswagen, but its W16 engine has not been used in anything else.
However the closely related W12 has - this engine also used in the VW Phaeton, and in the Bentley Continental GT (Bentley is also owned by Volkswagen)
In 2007 Volkswagen squeezed the 485 kW (650 horsepower) 6-litre twin-turbo W12 engine into a Golf - the one-off GTI W12-650. It's rear-wheel drive. The first two gears are electronically limited to 60% engine output, but it still does 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. It supposedly does 325 km/h flat out.
