Two Bugatti Veyron Converts Downtown Chicago

[Frank Oles]

Chicago Crew -

There were two Bugatti Veyron Convertibles parked at the Fairmont Hotel downtown today. Supposedly part of a cross country drive PR event. Amazing to see parked on the street. Just amazing...

One more of the interior. So simple, it's a work of art.

For that sorta price the veyron shouldn't have to look bloated like some Pasta Supra with a Tribeca single nostril.

It should be flawless.

I'll take a Koeneggsegg or Zonda over the Veyron anyday on looks and the Zonda for interior fit and finish.........

Have you seen a Veyron in person?

Initially, I was under the impression that the Bugatti was fat and bloated as well. The first one I saw was in the Bentley Showroom on Rush St, all black. Then I saw one a the Peterson museum in LA - inside, under lights it looked BIG.

But today, seeing it on the street changed my mind. There was a Toyota Camry parked a few feet in front of the white Veyron. The Bugatti was a lot smaller. It's like the NSX. It looks like a bigger car, but when you see it parked next to a Skyline or a Challenger, you see how small the footprint is.

There really isn't any wasted space in the Bug. The struts for the rear wing are very heavy gauge. The wheels are 20 inches with 375 width tires. Everything is so heavy duty to deal with the speed... you get a sense they made it as small as they could WITHOUT FALLING APART. There is a quality to the fit and finish that you can't see in the pictures.

The exterior design - you just know it is something special. You can look at it and tell it is something special even if you are not a car person, and judging from the crowds around these cars, there is some real curb appeal there. From the front, head on, it looks like some kind of hovercraft or something. Unforgettable.

Bugatti can send me an endorsement check now.:biggrin:

Looks interesting. Hard not to appreciate the craftsmanship involved producing such a vehicle.

I would love to have one - to sell, so I could get three or four not so ugly cars!!!

Funny, I saw the same car at the Peterson and I thought it was a lot smaller in person than I expected after seeing pictures of the car.

.......

Yes...... too many times.

I've been to the concorso.com events which is the biggest collection of privately owned exotic cars in the world.

I live minutes from here http://www.siliconvalleyautogroup.com/bugatti-1.aspx

They have a Lambo Reventon that I would rather have since it's even more exclusive than the Bugatti.
