The wife msg me what I would like for her to bring me back from Italy.

I'm pretty content , I say I'm fine with whatever..

then she sends me this pic

well that'll do !

Raypep · 18 January 2018, 11:14 PM

Gorgeous.

However, If money were no object I'd have to get a Koenigsegg though.

superdog · 18 January 2018, 11:20 PM

looks like it to me.

Kostas · 18 January 2018, 11:23 PM

I still remember when I first laid eyes on a pagani zonda that was pretty special too

beshannon · 18 January 2018, 11:27 PM

Not for me but if you like it then go for it

MonBK · 18 January 2018, 11:41 PM

Tell her to bring it home.

Kostas · 18 January 2018, 11:57 PM

oh I did , but they'd have to move the wheel/dashboard over to the correct side first :yup:

Pretty much I know somebody who got one last week https://www.instagram.com/p/BdRAEjxl...-by=mayurshree

dddrees · 19 January 2018, 01:19 AM

Personally I’d take a Rolls instead.

But being old, conservative, and tall that’s how I roll.

drm20 · 19 January 2018, 02:03 AM

Wow!!!!

SearChart · 19 January 2018, 02:14 AM

That money can buy me a Singer Porsche and an Eagle low drag GT, and money for watches.

The Chiron is obviously incredible and wealthy people probably buy it for it's exclusivity/speed, but it definitely wouldn't be my choice.

this.

Etschell · 19 January 2018, 05:31 AM

it is a nice car. but a complete and utter waste of money, even for the ultra rich.

there are better options.

Keadog · 19 January 2018, 05:41 AM

No manual transmission.

Wouldn't buy it if I had the money. Porsche PDK arguably one of the best DCTs out there and I hated it in my '15 TT. Lost a boatload of money getting rid of that in less than a year.

Saves me a lot of drooling over stuff I can't afford between Lambo, Ferrari, NSX and R10 not offering a manual, not to mention the super-exotics. I don't follow the niche $1M+ companies, but I don't think any of them offer a 3rd pedal?

Plus, for mere mortals in the real world, cars like this offer no practical dealer network in the majority of the USA. I like to drive the cars I do buy and don't live in NYC or LA.

tbonesteak · 19 January 2018, 06:17 AM

Prob tough to park a Bugatti in my neighborhood, but I'll give it some consideration.

fkim011 · 19 January 2018, 06:22 AM

I'd take the 918, P1 and Laferrari over the Bugatti.

rudestew · 19 January 2018, 06:26 AM

Id look plump in the bugatti but proper in a Bentley

toneafficianado · 19 January 2018, 06:32 AM

To paraphrase a fellow Aussie:
Now THAT's a car!

The Singer Porsches are works of art and performance too.

Reddy_Kilowatt · 19 January 2018, 08:13 AM

Tires for the Chiron cost as much or more than a nice impact bumper Porsche. Never mind brakes and other consumables. Of course, those things rarely see many miles. I can't imagine spending the dough on one of those, but maybe I just have a crappy imagination.

Cru Jones · 19 January 2018, 08:27 AM

All black just isn't right for that car....

ejvette · 19 January 2018, 08:43 AM

The question Kostas is..... did she bring it back for you

stockae92 · 19 January 2018, 09:35 AM

Your wife is a keeper :D

cjohns · 19 January 2018, 10:06 AM

I've been a car guy for over 40 years.I guess my thought on cars like this is it's just for people that have more money than brains and less talent that can't fly a P-51 Mustang.Just MHO...

BNA/LION · 19 January 2018, 10:09 AM

Might be... It Is Beautiful!

zama · 19 January 2018, 05:28 PM

To me the Chiron is way to mainstream. This one is more me, 16 cylinders, 4 turbos and 5000hp, ideal for getting around Dubai.
