Maybe so, but these are pretty nice to drive. The turbo version is a very quick and fast car.

Oh HELL no!!! You did NOT just bash the Volvo C-30!! Those things are nice! (Granted they're nicer in Europe, where they have more interior options like bamboo wood trim, but still....) My friend has that on her short list of cars she's looking at buying, and I keep nudging her in that direction, just so I'll get a chance to drive it.

How has nobody put these twins up yet? (And these pictures do them too much justice; when I see them on the road, I physically shiver at how god-awful looking they are).

Yeah... Chrysler? Umm, the 80's called, and want their Ford Aerostar back. Seriously, my mom's 95 Windstar was a better looking minivan than this (probably rode better too).

Oh gawd; don't forget it's VW twin as well...

I actually agree.

I understand that it was designed like that to be aerodynamically superior, but that doesn't make it OK for it to be fugly.

I love that style. To be fair, it looks better in real life and most definitively not in that color. Front end is ugly but that's typical. :sigh:

I still think its ugly even at that angle. And I've seen/been inside/mounted tires for quite a few of them and I think it looks goofy. But to each his own I guess.

Funny thing is, it's not aerodynamically superior...at least I'm pretty sure it isn't. For aerodynamically superior, look at a McLaren. I think it's just the Bugatti tradition of making extremely fugly but exotic looking cars. The roof scoops are not only very draggy, they're also extremely hideous.

Yes they made some of the most ugly cars of all time.

Yea, I just checked the drag coefficient, not very impressive at 0.41. Even when put into top speed mode, it only drops to 0.36. I always figured because it was so stable at high speeds, it was very aerodynamic.

Well drag coefficient isn't everything, but when competitors are using the same ultra long wheelbase (makes tapering the rear end harder), and getting sufficient downforce and stability with a lot less drag, I think that says something. The Supersport I think has more intelligent ducting, but intake off the roof is not the best idea in the first place. I guess they have a lot more cooling needs because of the massive engine though, and that uses up all the other ducts.

Yes on the Macca. Took VW like 400 hp, and turning its wing off to barely beat the no-wing-needed F1.

Buuut... I think the old (real French) Bugatti sports racers were quite nice. Small and elegant. The Atlantic is pretty gross, but not a sports model.

I think it was Ettore (sp?) who criticized Bentley for building the world's fastest trucks because they were so big and heavy. He would be disgusted by the current cars, I think.

It is my personal opinion that the new Bugatti is a deliberate insult to the French.

Saw this gem parked out behind work earlier.
