Ridiculous Bugatti Veyron Parts Price List Includes $12,000 Exhaust
It’s well known that Bugatti Veyron ownership is spectacularly expensive. A Veyron oil change apparently costs $21,000, a new set of tyres is about $30,000, and not long ago, a $150,000 replacement Veyron interior popped up on eBay.
Even so, we weren’t quite prepared for some of the bonkers parts and labour costs for various replacement items on the car that have been discovered recently. Road and Track managed to get hold of an EPA certification application, and some of the figures on it are rather hard to swallow.
Want to replace one of the W16’s four turbochargers? That’ll be $6400, please, plus $9000 in labour for each pair fitted. The $2000 per side exhaust manifold cost doesn’t sound too bad until you learn the labour is $20,000 for a complete unit. The catalytic converters are $6700 each, with each costing $1800 to fit, and the remainder of the exhaust system is $12,000 plus $3600 labour.
It’s not all bad news, as there are some cheaper items on there, like four camshaft position sensors for $9 a pop (they’re shared with more ordinary VW Group cars like the Golf), while a full set of Oxygen sensors is a reasonable $300. But as you’d probably expect, there’s a sting in the tail when it comes to the cost of having them fitted: it’s $7200 for all four cam sensors and a cool $15,000 to have the Oxygen sensors done.
All of this pales in comparison to the fuel tank. If you need a new one of those, you’ll be $42,000 poorer after shelling out the part and labour cost.
Still feeling curious? We recommend heading over to Road and Track for more. You may want to be sitting down first.

But nothing compared to the 21.000 $ oil change on the Chiron
And the reason why it costs so much is because it takes 48 hours to do
Turns out that the parts themselves aren’t expensive (relatively). It’s the labor that gets you
Example: the camshaft position sensors are $700-800. Not too bad. Then you factor in the labor and then to get those fixed or replaced becomes a $21,000 job
Which kind of makes sense, I guess. It’s an extremely complex design and it needs only the most competent people to work on it. One man hour at a normal car shop is billed with around 100€ (depending on where you are) in labour cost alone. You can probably multiply that by 10 for the Veyron.
That is a disgusting waste of money
Imagine the workers who replace each and every part in a Veyron, they will instantly become rich after the job gets done.
That would be true if they directly got the money, most mechanics dont see very much of the labor costs
Alternative solution: chop off the whole system, and straight pipe it out the sides
Alternative alternative solution: just ls swap it and now all the replacenent parts are cheap :D
Alternative solution
just dont buy anything
it works
This! I would love to hear! 😄
At least its not a 45 thousand dollar exhaust from the new gumpert…
This is why even if I ever won the lottery, I would never go buy a super expensive car like the Veyron. People don’t think about the upkeep.
Exactly, I would buy e36 m3 and live happy life heh :D
I bet you some of that work isn’t even hard to do but they can’t just drop the price for a few items, need to upkeep that status of being expensive so bill ridiculous amounts for labour
Same shit hapened to me I remember I use to buy from ebay usa and the price ex was like 200 usd and the shipping 300 usd same shit different place 😂
