Just look at the size of this thing! The Bugatti Type 41 Royale is a 12.7 litre straight 8 yacht of a car weighing in at well over 3 tonnes. With a length that is 20% longer than a modern day Rolls-Royce Phantom and with only 6 made, the Royale is about as luxurious as it gets, and one example formerly held the world record for most expensive car sold at auction, selling for a whopping $9.8m.

It may almost be sacrilegious to say so, but I'd love to hoon around on GT in this emperor of automobiles. :D
 
ooh yes. But if this was in I'd race it against a Rolls-Royce Phantom II or III
 
25 cars were originally planned to be built and sold to European royalty. But even the royals didn't want to buy any due to the Great Depression. Only 3 out of 6 cars made were sold.

Specs:

Length - 6400 mm (252.0 in)
Wheelbase - 4300 mm (169.2913 in)
Weight - 3,175 kg (7,000 lb)
Layout - FR
