Still ugly as sin. The Bugatti design language is firmly rooted in the 1930s and time has not been kind to it.

To each their own, Bugatti design has always been timeless imo. Type 46, 57, etc. Not to mention far beyond their time technologically

Touches the glass at :20 to get into the car. DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing is absolutely ridiculous in every way, except the name.

Does anyone else have an issue with how they are pronouncing the name? I'm bothered by it. I was under the impression it was supposed to be pronounced KY-rən /ˈkaɪrən/; also Cheiron or Kheiron. At least that's how the name of a centaur in Greek mythology was pronounced.

I'm hoping they are pronouncing it wrong because it doesn't fit the vehicle. If they are, in fact, right it's a missed opportunity.

Just my thoughts.

I thought the exact same thing when I first heard the announcement but it's actually named after a French racing driver, making the 'she-ron' pronunciation correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Chiron

SOB! LOL

Makes sense, I guess...

FriskyDingo · 03-29-2017, 05:43 PM

This car is just insane. And I mean that as a compliment. To take a car that could have so easily been dominated by the engine and speed and to make it a cohesive, usable end product is just astonishing. The craftsmanship and engineering on display here is just on another level.

What I would I give to drive one of these for a bit.....

Chris Harris' review on last Sunday's Top Gear (UK) summed it up better I think. The Veyron was revolutionary in its numbers, technology, performance. This is an evolution of that car but perfected in its execution.

Either way I was never a fan of the Veyron despite its big numbers. This though, I like a lot more!

It's gorgeous. Not much else I can say. I adore this pic:

Such an amazing car!

What is that black magic being used at 5:16 to move the engine?!?!

NickyC · 03-30-2017, 01:44 PM

I think they hit it out of the park with the styling on this thing. I didn't dislike the Veyron, but I didn't care for it much either. This thing is awesome.

only thing I don't like is the taillight going across the width of the rear. Especially with the metal surround. Which in itself is odd considering there are no other metal/chrome pieces on the car. Totally out of place. I would have to paint it gloss black to match the front grille.
