Bugatti Chiron...so much want!

Will never be able to afford one, but if ever given a chance to drive one would do so in a heartbeat. Love the looks (especially in black) and this driving video is just unreal on how a car this heavy can perform like it does...

Pretty sure all the oil billionaires, actors and rappers will use every bit of the performance it offers.

I don't even like Chirons (or Veyrons), but the Chiron in that video was gorgeous. Perfect color combination inside and out.

That C shaped design element.... it reminds me of a grand piano or an Art Deco skyscraper. Elegance.

Elbows too pointy, would not bang

In seriousness, after Paul Walker died in the Carrera GT (my favorite super car ever), I really started to just fear these types of machines.

First mod would be a light weight battery.

Then I would join the Chiron forums to find out which coil-overs I should get for road and track but not wishing to spend more than $1000 because I've already spent too much on the battery.

Just read that half of 500 planned production run sold at £2.5m a pop and apparently London (UK, not Tcoats hometown) is the biggest market with 16 heading to our shores.. London (UK) great place for supercars as they usually don't get over 17mph!!

Honestly.....


Never been a fan of Bugatti's Veyron. I thought it was horrendously disgusting and appaling to look at. The sound was nowhere near as dramatic as I would expect, and the cost is outright ridiculous.

However, the Chiron is MUCH better looking. I'm still not a fan of the sound, but it is way better aesthetically. Especially when you look at the interior. The fit and finish is just jaw dropping.

If I had that type of money to spend on a vehicle, I'd still personally look elsewhere, but the Chiron is a proper step up from the Veyron.
