RE: Bugatti reveals 1577hp Centodieci

Those performance figures are mind blowing. By the time a quick car is doing 60 this thing is doing 124!

[swisstoni]

Most of the 10 will never turn a wheel I suspect.

[DoubleD]

Its funny how on pistonheads everything modern is awful, but awful stuff from a few years ago is cool!

[DS240]

All the hatred!?

I think it looks incredible.

I love the EB110, but I think this is a stunning homage to it.

I’d love to have a close look at this new creation for the amazing detail and quality of the thing.

I wonder if the hate comes from the fact the Veyron/Chiron seem to be all about immense power and the impression they are blunt driving instruments? Or maybe it is sad bitterness at the expense and level of unobtainable.

They are staggering bits of engineering and quite amazing for the Hyper GT car role I think they site rather than a scalpel sharp sports car.

I'm quite a capitalist, but it's getting rather disgusting now.

I could’t agree more. I am sad as a petrolhead and even sadder as a father.

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but the rest of it I really like. Good homage to the 110.

My old man had an EB110. Was the last one the factory produced, from what I can remember. Definitely not a car that anyone ever needs to "pay homage to". He was delighted when he managed to sell it on at cost...

Possibly not so much delighted as relieved!

To me they just look like bloated whales with daft power outputs - a bit like the Bentley lorries Mr Bugatti used to berate!

Loved the EB110, love this, what a great homage

[C.MW]

Now that's another level of ridiculous regardless of how an engineering marvel it may be.

[hammo19]

I’m in the love it camp.

[Ninja59]

Love the EB110. Always have in a bizarre way.

Got to love the old factory I wonder who pays for that upkeep?

As for this homage. Sorry but it looks hideous, say that as I like the veyron and chiron.

So, it's a Chiron for people who find the regular car too common and cheap. No wonder they're all spoken for...

Chiron doesn't seem to capture me in the same way the Veyron does.

[swisstoni]

It’s been a whole post since someone said Homage.

I don’t understand the hatred towards cars like this on PistonHeads. Is it because you will never be able to afford one?

The comments section on almost every (free to read) article is full of miserable ***** moaning about something, I remember why I don’t visit the site much anymore.

You mistake taste for hate. I (and many of us if the general demeanor of the comments is anything to go by) do not hate this type of car, I just think that this Bugatti 'coach built' version of one of their models is utterly gopping in terms of looks.

[je777]

Meh.
The P1, LaFerrari and 918 rendered Bugatti's offerings 'meh'.
The forthcoming Valkyrie - because: weight - is rendering all the other many, many hypercar offerings 'meh'.

[je777]

Who would have thought that so many of us would get so bored by hypercars?
But it's just one after another, all offering the same thing and none of them available except to the same collection of people who don't drive them anyway (and, let's face it, on an ethical level, most of these people have made their vast wealth by causing the suffering - indirectly in some cases - of others).

[coppice]

I was at Prescott last June ; there was a display by a Chiron, Veyron and EB112. The first two looked absurd and sounded like industrial white noise ; the EB 112 was an ugly looking thing but with a certain joli laid charm - and its engine was easy on the ears .

But here's the thing - because nobody really gave them a second glance apart from the 12year olds . They were upstaged in looks, noise , charisma , heritage and sheer presence by a succession of 'real ' Bugattis, and if you don't love a Type 35 we can never be friends

[Dale487]

I'll reserve judgement until I see it in a better colour (but rarely do manufacturers choose bad colours for reveal cars, so I won't hold my breath), I'm thinking French Racing Blue like the EB110.

[Cups Renault]

Oh wow, wow, wow

Amazing

So fast, so much power

What an amazing achievement

All for £XXmillion.

Perfect for the globalista Epstein clientele

And wonderful for the little people on-sites like this to drawl over whilst the noose tightens

Another fking boringly stupid expensive car.

How many fks given? Zero.
