Codger Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Teen gearheads around the world will be tearing the Countach posters off of their bedroom walls soon: https://www.caranddriver.com/photos/g34484301/bugatti-bolide-concept-specs-revealed-gallery/ If so, expect to sell your house to pay for it - the KIT that is. You must sell your CITY to pay for the real one....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money than brains obviously. IMHO, that is insane in an exciting sort of way. It'll give Greta conniptions. 1 hour ago, rs2man said: That's got to be the ugliest car I've ever seen . Kind of a cross between a batmobile & darth vader helmet from the rear, which is the only brief glimpse anyone is likely to get of it.

Codger Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 On the serious side for a moment, I am truly amazed at the sheer number of manufacturers churning out 800 to 1800HP rockets these days. 600 HP is now the province of VW sedans and Audi wagons -! In the '90's if you drove 550 on the street you were BAD. I know because I was. But now, the Top Gear lads are melting tires gleefully in all manner of McLarens, Astons, AMG's, Tarturas (?!), Konigs etcetera... I know I'm seriously dating myself but did I imagine we have police, speed limits and global warming ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I’d love a Tamiya kit of one, not some hideously expensive die-cast based resin one or something from MFH. I suspect this has seen the light of day thanks to the upcoming LMH class regs for 2021 and beyond, which should make for some more interesting (and better looking) racing than LMP1... best, M.

Most of them will spend their entire lives indoors, because they'll be bought as "investments", too valuable to be risked on the road. If they're lucky they'll be turned over once a month to stop the oil congealing in the sump. Of the rest, four will be written off by overpaid footballers (one will probably kill someone who had the bad luck to be within a mile of the Daihatsu Stadium), and the owners of the rest will drive them once, brick it at the performance, and flog them. And somehow they'll still make a profit on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'd imagine the cost of insuring it, even allowing that you can afford to buy it in the first place, would make it a "not more than once a year" drive anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancona Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I must admit, I think Codger has got it right with the bedroom wall thing, to me the Bug does look a bit teen Manga nightmare/wet dream, it does have interesting bits but there are just too many of them for one car, a "cheaper" alternative which to my mind looks much more grown-up (and should be faster) is home grown https://www.caranddriver.com/lotus/evija Cheers David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockpit is a bit minimalist but that's the Lotus way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
