Not sure words can even describe the new Bugatti. Wow!

You'd also be slower in the Mustang and Spitfire. Bugatti's are the bleeding edge of what's possible as opposed to the tuner trash you're lumping this car into.

I don't think so. Both of those airplanes were in the 400 mph neighborhood.

This is the 'Mustang and Spitfire' I had in mind.

It's nice but all of the cars like that, look the same.I would rather have a 1968 Charger or '70 Cuda.

Mustang speed record is 470mph. Spitfire is 369mph. Fuel mileage is probably about the same, though.

There were quite a few models / variations. The final model, Mark 24, had a top speed of 454 mph (395 knots).

Little miscommunication there. Lol
I’m with you. Maybe buy a P40 in Flying Tiger getup for when I was feeling a little slow.
Once again, anything a Saudi oil prince would drive is probably something I don’t want.

Beautiful car but where in the world can you drive it anywhere close to its potential?

The end of an era. The last of the W-16s that went into the Veyron, Chiron and Chiron Super Sport:

And since Bugatti hired the guy that founded Rimac, it'll be interesting if he can build a 280mph electric car with a longer range than the Chiron at full throttle.
