Today's forecast: Mid-70s temps, 100% chance of Veyron
Click image for photo gallery
This week in Greenwich, the weather is sunny, the temps are well into the 70s, and Miller Motorcars has a fresh Veyron parked out front. Finished in Deep Red and Chocolate -- like a 987-horsepower cherry cordial -- it looks suitably delicious gleaming in the midday sun. In a lot cluttered with Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and Aston Martins of every type and color, the Bugatti looks like a predator among prey, always poised to strike. Everything else around it, no matter how stately and wonderful, looks merely average by comparison.
UPDATE: If you want more Veyron, turn back the clock and visit our June, 2006 post on the first two cars that stopped at Miller as they toured dealers in the region. It's newly-gallerized for your pleasure.

awesome, where'd the tip come from that they got one? I have relatives in Greenwich and frequent Miller when I visit. It's always got some good eye candy, especially the new Ferrari building

You need a car like this in Greenwich, CT. Own a Bentley Continental GT in Greenwich and you might as well be driving a Honda next to all those Aston's and Roll's.

#5 Golfa,
In my real life, I work in Greenwich. I saw it when I went out for lunch today, and happened to have my camera in the car. Sometimes, things just work out.

Very well written piece. Appeals to one's taste and carnivor instincts.

sweet man. you work anywhere cool down (i'm just north of boston) there? Must be a fun/tortuous commute past Miller everyday

Nothing terribly exciting, I'm afraid. Having Miller and Carriage House nearby ensures that lunchtime can always be made interesting, however. The 599 GTB Miller has across the street from the Bentley/RR/AM complex is pretty excellent, too...

Alex: When I was down there over Christmas I saw the first one they got, a grey one - delicious. What color is the one they have now? Is it sitting out for sale, or accounted for? Last I heard these were the one of, if not THE hardest car (Ferrari) to get. They did a big write-up in the Wall Street Journal around the Holiday talking about how wall street CEO's would spend their bonuses..

It should be a crime to produce something that powerful and yet so ugly.

Just where would you park a car like this when not at home. I sure can think of a few roads where I would drive it but would use the old Ford when paying the tickets.

I must disagree with two of the posters here.
I think the more reserved color scheme is beautiful.
I think the car as a whole is, too. It's gorgeous, maybe not your tyical sleek sexy but it screams power. As mentioned, it looks like a predator, like a great white shark perhaps, whereas similar sports cars look more like gazelles, built for speed but not for killing.

Looks like a fat hunchback. I'll take an Enzo, even though it has a tendency to catch fire.

Those Astons look so cute right next to each other peering over the hedge.
They're like puppies in a pet store window waiting for someone to come along and give them a good home.
Wait ..... what?

Is it more amazing that a company can produce a car like that for a million dollars, or that honda can build a civic si and sell it for 20k? anyone can do anything with out the constraints of a budget.
