Shame it's track only, this is perfect for Kensington High Street.

The Kensington High Street is full of Deliveroo mopeds, taxis and white vans ....

I think you mean Old Bond Street ....

When I was in the junior school, we used to hold contests to see who could piss the highest up a wall. Nothing has changed.

Sounds like a great school...

It's also worded so that "nothing has changed" makes it sound like he still has such contests....

It was a great school, although they have probably got inside toilets by now. Unfortunately my hernia has ruled out my participation in such sports for a good while. Fortunately I should be having an operation on it tomorrow, so I could be back in the fray before long, perhaps at the U3A if they indulge in such frolics, but definitely not schools Anyway, claiming the best HP, weight, top speed and Ring times does have a certain resonance

A monumentally stupid car.

It looks epic!

I hope Manny Khoshbin gets one.

The first good looking modern Bugatti, but they still seem like a brand in search of an identity. I wish they would take a stab at building the ultimate, elegant, beautiful GT, with proper luggage space for a couple, and that 16cyl engine for massive speed.

This is about as relevant to car owners as Kim kardashian's humble holiday with friends is to a family holiday.

For the amount of money this will cost could you not buy an ex F1 or Le Man case?

[ducnick]

Can’t help thinking for this money a xjr9 , xjr12, Sauber c9, Porsche 962 etc would be within reach and offer more in the way of usable track time.

So th007at's the Bugatti that's been testing at the Nurburgring...

Bugger. I thought that was a Le Mans development mule.

If only ! .But glad to hear that Toyota rolled out it's new Hypercar at Paul Ricard last Monday to Wednesday with the 4 current drivers taking the wheel,Fair play to them and the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus with the 007 and Peugeot coming aboard.

[614-HSO]

I wish I had the money to buy one, I would use it all the time.

[Rumblestripe]

IMO it isn't really a race car as it's not going racing it's just a toy.

Yeah it looks striking but who's going to see one?

Meh.

How strange.

Where are all those people who claim that massive acceleration is pointless, one trick pony, irrelevant, etc when it's some new electric car, but here it's all;

That’ll be because no-one would think that this will be a one-trick pony like a Model S is in performance terms.

I think it’ll quite likely handle well, stop well, and go round corners well, too.

[irocfan]

impressive? No doubt. But fk me is it UGLY!!

For me - a curious juxtaposition to the Valkyrie and T50

A sledgehammer, relatively speaking out of no where. And running.

[Ambleton]

I wonder if this is the last hurrah before the dawn of full electrification as Bugatti gets handed over to its new custodians (Rimac)

I'd hazard a guess that VAG want to use Rimac motor and battery tech so they've done a deal where they get to use it, in exchange for the the Bugatti name.

Does seem odd that Rimac would want such a brand though. Its almost entirely against their "new world order" ethos.

Not the biggest fan of these HyperCars but f**k me that’s EPIC!!!!!!!!

The stats alone then the sound and the looks

I’m hoping these joins the hyper class in Le Mans more then Covid disappears

Design heavily taken from the Divo by the looks of it. Fair looking thing though. I dread the price. The Divo is what, $5 million? I bet this would be 7-8 million or something crazy.

There's a chap local to our village who drives a Divo and may still have a Super Sport. Hopefully he still has a few pennies left for this beauty.
