I lose a greater proportion of my own bodyweight when I have a shave than Bugatti's trimmed with the Chiron Sport...

I mean at least get the car under 4000lbs...every bugatti since the original veyron has been over 2 tons I think it' time they really make a track version. Imagine a 3400lb 1500hp bugatti that can finally keep up with koenigseggs.

It looks amazing in red!

The carbon fiber interior looks way less special than the normal car with it's polished metal. In fact, it doesn't even look as nice as a current Audi TT when it's all black like that.

So Bugatti finally developped AYC. And let me laugh a the puny amount of weight its lost compared to the normal version... that's kinda pathetic really.

WAT. 40LBS? That really doesnt seem worth calling it a new model to me... even with the other stuff.

So... almost 400k for ONLY FORTY pounds of weight shaved off a rich kids toy?

I cant stand when car manufacturers hike up prices that high for virtually little done to the base car. Another good example is the bmw m4 vs the m4 gts...huge price difference for 40hp and some lip with a spoiler.

From the article: "The Chiron Sport can lap the Nardo handling circuit five seconds faster than the original."

I think it's safe to say they've done a lot more than "only shave 40lbs".
