It should only cost 1.03x the cost of the BRZ....Bugatti's doing it wrong!

If only Bugatti offered a manual. I would even be willing to concede rev matching.

You want to actuate your own gear changes? How plebian.

for an expensive suit, it sure fits him poorly in the shoulders.

Are you suggesting an app to change gears via one's phone?

No, that's what those techy "new money" wannabes would do. I'm suggesting that you buy a serf, stick it in a box, and stick the box in your transmission. Give it few quick prods with a hot iron to train it to change up and down on command, then just drive the damn thing.

Let me get this right. When you're doing an acceleration run you shout "serf's up"?

Yes of course. What else would I shout?

I see that we have raised the bar on clever international banter.

Reminds me of when I saw a few Pagani's at a Cars and Coffee a couple years back.

Everything about them is gaudy as hell. Like they have leather belts/buckles in places, and the carbon fiber body-paneling is colored weave (which does look cool, but is still super gaudy).

Clearly we're not the target market.

Gorgeous housing for that massive drivetrain... if ever was given a chance would drive it on track without hesitation. Finally a modern Bugatti that doesn't weigh a literal 2 tons. Funny thing is the regular Bugatti's are not big cars... when you see them in person they are much smaller than you expect, hardly any bigger than an FR-S overall.

Part of the looks are also dictated by the necessities of traveling @300+mph... car design having to merge with aircraft design for stability reasons. If you notice all the 300+mph cars coming out have a very specific and similar shape... by necessity. CP becomes incresingly important as speeds incease and starts taking over design along with drag reduction. Ford should rework their GT90 concept from 25 years ago and design a 300+mph car...
