Simon Cowell to sell his £1 million Bugatti Veyron sports car.. after driving it TWICE in four years

He only bought it because a friend told him to, so it comes as no surprise to learn that Simon Cowell has opted to sell his black Bugatti sports-car.
The TV and music mogul bought the luxury vehicle for £1 million in 2010 after it ‘beckoned him’ from its vantage point in a Beverly Hills showroom.
Reaching speeds of 260 miles an hour and with an excess of 1000 horsepower, the Bugatti Veyron is custom made for speed lovers – but has barely left Cowell’s garage during his four-year ownership, with the 54-year-old climbing behind the wheel on two separate occasions for drives around the winding canyon roads that surround Los Angeles.

Now that's how you make an entrance: Simon Cowell arrives at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills in November- the last time he was seen in his black Bugatti Veyron

Luxurious: The car cost Cowell a reported £1 million in 2010 after it 'stared' at him from the window of a Beverly Hills showroom

The car will be sold via car auction specialist Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona – but Cowell will be forced to suffer an inevitable loss on the car her lavished so much money on, with estimates ranging between £600,000 and £800,000.
MailOnline have contacted his representatives for further comment.
Cowell – currently holidaying with pregnant lover Lauren Silverman in the Caribbean – was last spotted driving the Bugatti last November, when it purred to a stop outside the Peninsula Hotel in downtown Beverly Hills.
Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her popular chat show, the X Factor judge admitted he spent heavily on the car after phoning a friend for advice, saying: 'So, the following day I walked in and bought it.'

Host Ellen feigned surprise when Cowell joked that he pushed the car to its limit while driving in LA, adding: 'I hit 250 on Sunset… I'm lying. Police if you're watching...'
Later, when the genial host asked how many times he had taken his fancy car for a spin he said, 'Twice.'
Never one to hold back when something takes his fancy, Cowell has boasted about other impulse purchases in the past.
In a 2011 interview with Top Gear he waxed lyrical about his £300,000 Rolls Royce, saying: 'It's the most beautiful, most comfortable, best-engineered car ever built. I can hardly bring myself to say it but it's - oh, sod it! - perfect.'
'When I drove the car I felt so good, I knew I had to have one. So, I spent £300,000 on one for my house here in LA.'
The mogul will welcome his first child with New York based socialite Ms. Silverman in February.
