Lets face it, I read "blah blah blah - we know there are enough billionairs now that we can make cars to-order for them, and they'll queue up to buy"

That's the reality of it.

I'm quite a capitalist, but it's getting rather disgusting now.
At last some others who get it.

Thank you.

I get labelled a red peril commie for pointing this out....or some how a failure in life. Both very untrue, just sick of the plaudits given unabashed to these types of cars whilst the price is basically open for business to the types of people (not all, but many) who are making our lives and society worse.

I think that is STUNNING!

Then again, the EB110 has always been an absolute favourite of mine.

I've always thought the Chiron is quite a handsome car for what it is.

But what the hell is this they've created? Have they hired some odd ball bloke from Lamborghini and let him loose?

Or maybe they're quite astute in creating this? Seams the tackier the car, the more certain very rich people want it. Money can't buy taste.

Supercars were just better in the 80s / 90s... I'd walk past any modern Ferrari to drool over an F40 or a Testarossa, and in the same way I'd walk past that silver thing to the blue EB110, there's just something the older ones have that the new ones lack, like they come from a time when society wasn't run by kowtowing wimps and people could actually enjoy stuff without having to justify it to some sandal-wearing dreadlocked stink-machine, and you can just feel that when you look at one, whereas looking at most modern stuff you get the feeling it's been designed by someone eating Alpen with lentils at a H&S-approved standing desk with a biodegradeable ethnic pencil.

Today's society is responsible?
With neoliberalists in most governments?
Destroying the planet?
Shafting the poor?
And the disabled?
And with the rise of the far-right?
I know this isn't the site for politics (although you brought it up), but how are we living in a 'responsible society'?

Supercars from the 60s/70s are even better IMHO - wonder if that has anything to do with being an impressionable youth back then ?

Ok my comment was tongue-in-cheek. But this Bugatti is so far out of synch with modern thinking that it really is a dinosaur goading authorities, greenies and safety zealots alike.

'NPE'?

I googled the meaning of this and got: Nutrition Program for the Elderly.

Can't see the relevance...

It looks ok to me. Not pretty, but not terrible.
Certainly a hell of a lot better than that Aston thing from the other day.
Now that is truly horrific.

I’d also say that it’s much better looking than a 720S or a Senna.
