Long after the
Bugatti Veyron will have sped off into the history books, we'll still be unraveling the convoluted web of all the associated special editions it spawned.
One such example has just come to light and to the market. Like the similarly-named
Sang Noir and
Sang Bleu, this one-of-a-kind Sang Blanc edition is characterized by its color. In this case, that means a special matte white finish with contrasting black trim and interior. It's based on the Grand Sport, so it's also got the removable roof panel to let everyone around see who the special driver is.
Despite being a left-hand-drive model, the Sang Blanc is currently located in the UK. Asking price is available only upon request, though you can bet that seven-figure line of credit will evaporate as quickly as this car accelerates. Follow the link to
the listing for more.

Honda calls its midsize crossover “distinctively sleek, sporty, and fuel-efficient.” While we’re happy to agree with the “distinct” part — distinctly overwrought — we’ll save our opinion about the rest of Honda’s knee-slapping, laugh-out-loud media literature beyond this point. Thankfully for 2012, however, Honda will no longer soil the esteemed Accord name by forcing it [...]

The shadowy crowd behind
motorcycle marketing must be a strange bunch. A quick survey of the landscape yields a host of eye-rolling slogans from the "I wanna ride" of
Honda to the painfully cliché "Let the good times roll" of
Kawasaki.
For all of the genuine passion that bike enthusiasts have for their machines, manufacturers tend to rely on trite sayings and played-out advertisements that gloss over the whole purpose of a machine as ludicrous as a motorcycle. Bikes aren't safe, particularly comfortable or even really convenient in any meaningful way, but they offer a level of mental distance from the rest of the world that's otherwise unobtainable by legal means.
For a while, we thought bike makers didn't focus on this aspect of the hobby because it's hard to capture on film. Then we saw Barry Munsterteiger's newest video. Munsterteiger and his audio-visual friends got together with a bunch of high-end equipment and summed up exactly what makes climbing on a bike before the sun comes up so damn appealing. Here's hoping a manufacturer comes ringing on this guy's door sometime soon.
Hit the jump to check it out for yourself.
