It might be, but I think if it was cut back about 12" it would be a lot more snub-nosed looking. Maybe this design was an attempt to be more distinguishing from the Chiron and Veyron?

I'm hoping I get to shoot one, I've done the others. Perks of the job.

I can't imagine how much it costs to mill the quartz glass center console section.

I don’t like the hybrid component at all and it’s a blight on a car of this caliber that is honestly masterpiece.

Watch the 30 minute review with the CEO and top gear and you’ll understand how incredible this car is.

There is only 250 of these or so that will be made over the course of 3 years to be completed in 2029.

Even if you have the money ($4 million US) one will likely not be able to purchase. Bugatti selects their purchasers, even more exclusive than Ferrari.

What a work of art.

You can simply turn off the hybrid and drive in ICE only mode too though. The carwow video with the CEO was fantastic.

Looks like a McLaren in the back.
