Yeah when I said the interior was ugly I meant the colour.. It would probably look good in black or silver.

You'd have to take on the Brabus Rocket first - when it was unrestricted for top speed runs it Vmaxed at around 360kmh.

Hopefully VW do it right this time and decide on an exterior after they have locked in other design aspects. Cramming 2 tonnes in to something the size of a Mazda RX8 isn’t clever.

P.S. I saw a black Porsche Panamerica Turbo last night and it didn’t look half as bad as I was expecting. Sort of like seeing a photo of someone that you think had an ugly tree fall on them and then you see them in person and they are strangely attractive – those carbon ceramic brakes in the 20” wheels look massive.

To be honest I think it looks horrible. Interior is alright, but as for the rest... :

1: lambo
2:Aston martin
3: Bugatti
4: Porsche (which in my humble opinion is hideous)

I respect all high end cars for both engineering and quality that goes into them, but all cars like this will always just be pictures on the net to me.... Maybe if im lucky a video....

that car is absolutely beautiful. the minimialist interior is just amazing, especially the chrome highlights on the centre console and the dyed carbon with aluminium is awesome as well. love it.

this like the veyron to me looks like its from the 1950's the lines of the thing, and of the veyron, they look retro to me, but using modern materials (carbon fibre) which is a material I quite like the look of pity is so damn hard to do anything with.

it begs the question whats next for bugatti, going to make the worlds' fastest SUV or minivan with a veyron motor ? pity cars like this are unaffordable by the common man.

Looks alright, still prefer the Veyron, but this is better than the panemera!

That is one of the stupidest assumptions i have heard.



This car is purely Bugatti, that interior is marvelous, clean, simple and elegant. It picks up from Bugatti's last saloon, the Type 41 (Royale). Utterly expensive and flamboyant rolling works of art.

Sorry! Both are pretty ugly from my point of view.
I've cancelled my orders for them.
