Bugatti Chiron

So these are all customer cars? I was under the impression that deliveries weren't to happen until mid 2017.

 

Short videoms from the private event in Vancouver earlier in the month...

I've not driven a 'new' as in 2016 Egg but I've driven my friends CCX several times. He's had several issues with reliability.

In terms of innovation, sure the new bug isn't as innovative but the Chiron stands rival less at the top of the GT market , for 3,000+ mile euro trips I wouldn't be choosing an Egg over the Bug.

 

I believe my point has been lost. I am in no way challenging the pinnacle of build quality that Bugatti provides. CCX was a very early car in the history of a very young company (CCX came out 10 years ago while the company was founded 20 yrs ago I believe). Their cars are getting much better and growing pains are being addressed as they are discovered. Regera is Egg's first attempt at a GT car so let us see the product before determining it is an inferior product. I'm not taking into account Customer service because again VWG is an exponentially larger company and can financially make that happen for their cars. My main point was the car itself. Bugatti historically was known for making spaceships while other companies made cars. Looking at Chiron, it just gives you more of the same you got with Veyron. F1 racing car batteries, auto skin on all doors, hood and trunk, hybrid, no geared transmission, a rear spoiler that is not actuated with a typical hydraulic up/down mechanism etc. These are all things that move the auto industry further down the road. Please tell me what Chiron does that has not been already done? Utmost respect and admiration for the brand but facts are facts, Chiron is Veyron 2.0. Veyron was a undoubtedly a game changer, Chiron is not.

 

Here is my 1935 type 59/50s next to the new Chiron at the Quail. Its amazing to see the evolution of these great automobiles in 81 years. What will they come out with next?

That old bug, makes the new bug look silly and way over done.

 

That new thing is just a bug. The old one is a real Bugatti.

Of the new Bugs I only like the EB110.

Modern day "Zonda" in the evolution deference from C12 to 760RS! The future is very bright indeed, they only need to finish development on a new breed of performance tire to support the potential of the models design. Thanks for posting that clay model photo!

 

I love the new Chiron. Wasn't a huge Veyron fan although the Vitesse in certain configurations was great. EB110 Was an amazing car. Shame how it didn't last. I'd really love seeing one in person.

 

EB110: What a beauty!

 

Have you seen the EB110 SS in white? Taxtherich YouTube channel has a good video of it in action. Also the McDonald's special the Chris Harris briefly reviewed.

 

An EB110 SS no, i've never seen one. I saw one silver in person a few years back in Milan. Felt in love with it. I always liked it.

I'll take a look @Taxtherich channel later.

Thank you.

Even the eb110 was much more of a machine when you consider when it was built. This new "bugatti" is not new..it's old and dated. However the interior is quite nice, other then that it's a complete dinosaur. Sure, it's fast but to is a souped up Honda.

 

I couldn't agree less ! I love the Chiron. But to each their own of course.

 

Agree. I prefer the Veyron even estetically which will probably be even more of a collector's item

 

That rear is really ugly.

 

looks kinda like a dodge challenger
