Just a nifty little article for those with nothing better to do. It's always cool how Marshall explains things though. 👍

"the car weighs in at about 4,300 pounds"

Oof! It'll need 1000hp just to get that fat ass moving!

Considering all the problems they had developing it, "howstuffnotworks" is a better site to put it on.

I was really impressed with the How Stuff Works report on manual transmissions and the rotary engine. They're doing a good job of delivering information. They just need a bit of a facelift for their site (:

Thanks to them, I can now pick a 4-pin lock.

I have to practice for a couple days to get a 5-pin though.

considering that Bugatti has been working on this project for god knows how many years and that this car is probably going to sell at about $1 million, will they even be making a decent profit in selling it? I mean, the production run will probably be more limited than the Enzo's 500...add in the size of the development team and the people that will be building it and it'll be tough for them to break even...

I heard from a site that production will be limited to around 299 models, but thats if the car ever makes it to the showrooms.
