I wonder how many miles per year a person puts on a car like this. I bet they just sit in a fancy garage most of their life.

Is the song called “I can’t drive 205”?

That thing’s a pricey trailer queen up here in PA snows and on our lousy roads.

Bugatti -- which is part of Volkswagen -- will make just 500 of the first Chiron series

Gaaaaa, I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Says they will make 500 of these. I guess that is just about enough to call it a "production" car. Didn't the big 3 American car manufacturers used to play that game to get special models into NASCAR? That is, make just enough for public sale to qualify as "production" so their race teams could use them as a starting point?

Anyway, neat car. But if I hit the lottery I think the most exotic I might go would be a Tesla and/or a high-end Audi.

Can you make a comparative analysis to the XLR “HellCat” ?

Who wins?

I think the darned things are ugly. Would love to drive one though just once, and would love to own one so I could sell it for what it’s worth and buy things I’d really like to own.

Meh, for my $2 million, I'd rather have one like this...

Isn’t “Chiron” the name of the boatman who ferries your soul across the river Styx to the afterlife? If so, I would take that as a bad omen.

I watched a short documentary on Bugatti. It’s amazing the ends that they go to to make these cars as perfect as possible. The interior leather comes exclusively from a herd of alpine cattle that are pastured without barbed wire and at an altitude high enough to avoid mosquito bites all in an effort to make the leather as flawless as possible.

That’s cool, but I’d still rather have a Bowler EXR-S. Performance that will beat just about any Porsche on asphalt, and can nearly match that performance off road.

If you’ve never done over 135 of road, it’s certainly an experience you won’t soon forget.

It’s a car I will never own, drive and most likely ever
see other than in pictures and movies.
Still, I think the Mclaren looks a lot cooler.

Wasn’t able to get my order in on-time for a Veyron but now I am breaking the penny jar for the $2.6MM needed for the Chiron. I wonder if I have to roll them or can we use a coin counter?

How many buyers have the skill to drive one of these much over 80 mph? Face it, most of the rich testosterone deprived rich guys that buy fast cars do it for obvious reasons, and it is not for driving fast.
