935k3 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Maybe some might like this one better. The Bugatti Vision GT. 1600bhp for a mere 8 milion dollars. Edited May 25, 2018 by 935k3
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I didn't think you could get any uglier than the last Bug. I was wrong.
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I find it a little humorous that they build a radical modern car like this & still try to incorporate the classic Bugatti grille. It doesn't work in my opinion. It looks like it can't decide if it's a super car, or a vacuum cleaner. Yeah.........no. Steve

Chuck Most Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Here's what I don't get- ever since Bugatti was revived in the mid '90's it's been a performance car. Weren't they originally luxury cars (with some performance undertones)? Imagine what kind of luxury you'd get for 8 million.

In the 20s, they were to racing what Porsche and Ferarri were in modern times. They were the fastest street legal cars you could buy. The Royale was their one and only pure luxury car, and that was a distaster. Edited May 25, 2018 by Richard Bartrop

You would think they could re-design the grill to be aerodynamic, yet keep the Bugatti styling cues. Heck, even I could do it!

iamsuperdan Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I wasn't a fan of the Veyron, and I'm not a fan of the Chiron. How is a smushed jelly bean considered groundbreaking and stylish?
Bainford Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Yep, that's ugly. But it's worst crime is being absolutely huge and grossly overweight. Sure, it's got tons of power, but it's still a massive, heavy , sophisticated barge. When reaching for the ultimate in performance automobiles, the industry is moving in the wrong direction. I can't subscribe to the method of creating as much power as we can, then building a huge and heavy chassis to contain it. Sure it's fast, but it must be a nightmare to engage in a spirited drive on twisty back country roads.

Little Timmy Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Look's like an airplane CRASHED into a car..... and the car is "Still" , trying to escape from it ! ( Actually.... it look's just like what happen's when you use GAS to strip paint off a "Crummy" kit. )
Snake45 Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 You know those glue bomb early '60s models you see where the original builder tried to use ALL the kit's custom and racing parts, even just gluing stuff onto the hood and fenders if he had to to use it all? Yeah. It's like the full-size 21st Century version of that.
