There's some hope because the court is allowing them to trade on licence for a time. However they have to notify all customers that they are trading while bankrupt so I can see that putting customers off. And yes, I reckon that unless someone works out a serious rescue package soon then any damage to a Veyron's chassis and it will be written off. I can see one adverse effect being that many great cars will become museum pieces as the owners get too scared to drive them.
Have they gone bust because the orders have dried up?

I think it's the latter. Italian small businesses are really crap at job costing in my experience, they often come back to the client and say "can we have some more money please?"
