If BMW can make a fat X6m go around a track as fast as a M3.. no reason this won't be able to put down some lap times..

Admit it... you love or have loved a fat chick for at least 15mins

The GTR is a piggy too.. but it can move.. Fat cars need love too

And yeah, the two are road cars, in the way a Forester is an SUV.

Just look at the less powerful, rwd Koenigsegg which is able to catch the Chiron just after 200 kph and just runs away from it.

Aside from being owned by a major brand, Bugatti is following the little guys at the top tier of performance.

Valid Argument .. Hybrid too

There should be an alert setup in this thread when the cumulative value of all the cars posters in the thread have owned exceeds the cost of one Chiron.

I don't like it, but that means about as much as my opinion on aircraft carriers or private jets.

Which for all the tech on board isn't a shocker..

I prefer the Hennessy Venom, Koenigssegg, LaFerrari, 918, P1, etc route to hypercar madness; make it fast but at least TRY and make it light.

Show the Chiron a few tight S bends and I bet a well driven Caterham would embarrass it.

front looks like an alfa romeo

haha agree'd... I will sell both my nuts for a 918 or P1... An I would probably total it in all of two hours.

Kid here in Dallas wadded up his P1 driving from the dealer to the Tollway. Never even got it to a road with a speed limit over 40 mph.

Makes you wonder. Imagine that call to GEICO.

Hi, I need to insure a new car. Oh, and file an accident claim. Oh, and it was a million bucks. Sorry.

Variety is the spice of life. It looks to me that there are plenty of choices out there if you're looking for a lighter supercar. Why does everyone feel the need to shit on the only company going about it the opposite way?

You can serve a cake to a group in two ways:
1) You can cut it up with a pie cutter and serve the slices out neatly (cut weight)
2) You can smash it with a sledgehammer like Gallagher (1,500hp)

Sure, it's very satisfying to neatly carve through corners but other times it's fucking awesome to just mash the pedal.

Both should exist.

It's also hilarious to see people who can't afford these cars talking about how they perform (myself included) when in reality, some dick just piles them up in his garage and they barely get driven at all. Oh, and when they do, they're driven so damn slow I could pass them on my Cannondale.

A guy has two Veyrons in storage (one is a Super Sport) near me. Quite valuable.

Exacty. Who cares if it can't outhandle a Caterham when the thing never gets driven in the first place? It's a work of art and most are treated as such.

[Red Bread]

There's a guy who daily drives his Veyron here. Just the tire and wheel cost of that is about the same as buying a normal car and driving it off a cliff every few months.

[ShocknAwe]

Not really all that excited about this one tbh. Top speed 290. So what. Maybe what four roads in the world you could do that on without worrying about instantaneous death? I'd rather manufacturers start focusing on how fast they can engineer a car to take a tight hairpin.

All that said. It's impressive in its statistics. Especially the weight given the sheer size/volume of the powerplant and requisite cooling equipment. Don't think the sub 2 second 0-60s are that far fetched anymore.

I would rock the living fok out of this King of All Hypercars...

Incredible. I love that silver/blue color combo

I mean, a Caterham could do that to 99% of vehicles out there.

They did try to make it as light as possible for its mission. Its pretty much all carbon fiber composite and aluminum. And unlike those other cars, it can handle almost any type of onroad driving situation. From crawling in traffic and acting like a midengined Bentley to going 230+mph and everything in between.

That's what separated the Veyron from its competitors and that's why the Chiron is so damn ridiculous. Hyperluxury and hyperspeed in one package. And its something that won't try to bite the hands off its ultra HNW owners. lol

Don't get me wrong, the P1 is still in my top 3 list but yeah...this thing is crazy.

All of THIS right here! Funny how everything about cars is about "taking to the Track".... Didn't realize there were so many avid Racers here and abroad?

This car represents the "Pinnacle of Performance and Luxury". It stands completely alone at the top.

This thing is downright EVIL!!!!!!

It looks like an R8 being birthed out of the back of an old Ford GT. I admit that it looks much better in black than French Clown Car.

Makes the Regera look like it was designed in the 90's.
