How has no one posted this yet....CHIRRON!!!
Pure Epicness!!!
The new benchmark has been set. Time will tell if Bugatti has rewritten the rulebook, like it did with the Veyron, but the Chiron's numbers are truly frightening. The 8.0-liter, quad-turbo W16 motor still sits behind the two-seat cabin, only now it thumps out – wait for it – 1,478 hp |

That is just plain ugly - don't care how much horsepower it has

Meh
price point makes it impossible to acquire with 99% of the population 1500 HP was achieved mid 90s with big turbo supras, which are still running around today and didn't nearly cost as much as this thing |

Chirron looks like a boat (or more specifically like a luxury yacht) so it does nothing for me. I can admire the technology and the performance but the emotional aspect of it leaves me cold.
I prefer below artist concept because it looks so much sportier with its wraparound windshield (ala Lancia Stratos), Formula-1 front air winglets and the exposed engine: I consider Chirron a wasted opportunity with its obvious pandering to Oman's geriatric ali-babas at the expense of truly building a transcendent supercar. |

Pure mechanical epicness. A car with ultra luxury and power, built to be driven on the street. Supra's and Skylines shake at the seems and are a different category of sheer awesome. |

No way you're seriously comparing this thing to a modded Supra

Chiron looks like they sent Veyron to the gym and now he's all chiseled, jacked, and can lift heavier and run faster.
Love the body. Headlights could have been a bit better and unique to the car. Interior is nice. Carbon fiber around the shifter could have been manipulated a bit better. Overall I think it's a good step up from the predecessor, esthetically and performance wise. I recommend this car. Would buy again definitely. |
