The Avanti set records in 1963 and a twin supercharged Avanti hit 198 MPH in 1963, which is still a rarity today. Then the Studebaker-STP relationship made me a fan of Richard Petty and his winged race cars. The race car hit 200 MPH in 1970 and they basically won every single race entered (or thereabouts). A truly unbelievable number when a production car wouldn't hit 200 for around 15 more years. It wasn't until 1992 than an Avanti hit 200 when Ken Jones piloted one at Bonneville. I was 9 at the time and it left a lasting impact on me. Probably one of the biggest influential cars of my life. \r\n\r\nThe 90's featured some truly amazing metal although I was more of a Jaguar xj220 fan than the McLaren. \r\n\r\nBut the second I saw the Veyron concept on Evo Magazines cover, I was hooked. The Bugatti went to the top of my wish list. 253 MPH top speed. 16 cylinders. 987 HP. 0-60\r\nIn 2.5 seconds. 4 turbos. Each version after has gone faster or handles better or both. The cars have been criticized for not being flashy enough or to jelly bean and not tough or aggressive enough. I think it's nonsense. 15 years since the Veyron came out, I think it looks better than ever. And seeing the Chiron in the metal, where it showed up at Katie's cars and coffee. It's a glorious thing. What i would do to own one or even just get a ride. Other cars may have come and gone that are faster than the Veyron and Chiron (SSC is claiming 295 in their new car), but for me.

The Veyron is hardly \"dated\". It is an amazingly easy car to handle, and even on bumpy, tight canyon roads, it is more Lotus Elise than a two ton GT car. Agile, and surprisingly easy to drive. The Chiron is even tighter, and shrinks around the driver. Shorter gears have made it more flexible, and more immediate. However, carving canyons is still fraught with the singular thought as a guest driver hunts for the apex... FOUR MILLION DOLLARS... . And then, the road opens, press the throttle... this was where the Bugatti was truly unique. I say \"was\" because, you know, electric cars that can do sub 3 second 0 to 60 runs for about 3% of this Bugatti's price. Maybe not so much \"was\" because the experience of Bugatti acceleration is, and will remain, truly unique, never to be recreated by another manufacturer. Not even Bugatti.\n \nThere is the sound of all that frightened air being sucked into the engine, the turbochargers, meshing gears, the mechanical presence of that massive engine, and crushing, linear acceleration that doesn't seem to let up... and then you run out of space... \n\nBugattis are typically speed tested at Ehra-Lessien, the VW group's 12 mile test track, with a 5.4 mile long straight. Bugatti road cars have hit over 300 mph there. This is a far better testing area than Bonneville, mainly because of the pavement, and the ability to circulate flat out, with no need to turn around, until driver, tires and fuel are exhausted. If you don't want to ship your Bugatti to Germany, there is a tire test track in the middle of nowhere in Texas where you can probably do the same thing. \n\nThis version of the Chiron signals the apogee of the development of the IC powered automobile. A work of art that may be repeated in some form, but not like this, with 16 cylinders, 4 turbochargers and 10 heat exchangers. \n\n475 miles is hardly an experience driving one of these cars. It would take more seat time to really get to know it well enough to truly enjoy it, but, here we are. If I were wealthy enough to consider one of these, I would drive it, and enjoy ownership beyond just looking at it in my carriage house. But, then again, I could have a TBM 940, and enjoy all of its performance, every flight. If I want to go nearly 400 mph, all I have to do is push the throttle, and aim it at my destination... instant change, no traffic. \n\nThe Bugatti is incredible, but hard to enjoy beyond its investment potential or flash. Maybe at 0530, for a canyon blitz, or an early morning drive to Willow Springs... It is an amazing experience, but if you are a city dweller... maybe not so much.
