New Bugatti Chiron

You'd buy secondhand?!

 

What's the fit & finish on these newer Koenigseggs like? I had a poke around an older one a while ago, and I thought it was pretty poorly assembled, lots of the details, including the switchgear and rear lights, were straight out of a kit car magazine.

Incredible. The Regera also looks like a real game-changer. Doesn't have a gearbox :D

Why don't they put more development into bringing the weight down? It has 1500hp, but it weighs 2 ton, and it looks like just to top it off. Sounds familiar.

 

I'd rather have an EB110 over this or the Veyron.

 

The Chiron and the Veyron have all the appeal in the advertising and "statistics", the cars themselves are just a formality, they came up with the stats then built one of the most hideous cars ever created. I know you can abstract the production of pretty much any car down to that level, but most cars aren't built just to be a gimmick. And even then they still that up with the Veyron as they lost a load of money on each one.s

Looks nice, doesn't do an awful lot for me though.

 

I'm with everyone else on the Regera, that thing will be an engineering marvel.

 

There's a video on YouTube of Mr Keoniggsegg testing it with (what's his name) YouTube car blogger.

 

The way it all opens up like a transformer is amazing.

The gearbox-less engineering that powers the Regera is awesome, would be my choice over the Chiron all day.

 

Chiron is still a marvel in its own right though, it consumes 1m3 of air a second :blink:

 

I read 60,000 litres of air per minute, at maximum performance/RPM. That's 15,850 gallons...

Why don't YOU put some effort into communicating without appearing to have a personality disorder? Swearing doesn't make you look cool, you know. It just annoys the people who have to fix it.

 

I wasn't having a go at anyone, just my opinion that's all. Delete the entire post if you think it's the right thing to do.
