The new $2.6 million Bugatti Chiron (1 Viewer)

[nolaspe]

Even if I had the money, I don't think I'd buy a hypercar, something like the new Ford GT would suit me just fine at a fraction of the cost and still have some ludicrous performance, plus w/ the V6, you wouldn't run out of gas in 9 min at top speed like the Bugatti...

No it didn't. If the Ninja ZX-14 has a 0-60 time of 2.5 then I can't see your 750 matching that.

Uhhh, yeah it did. I had the dealer swap out the stock rear sprocket for a larger diameter track sprocket, and increase the boost pressure from stock 10.5 psi to 15 psi as part of the sale, and umm yeah it went 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. On many, many occasions. Total cost 3700.00 new

I also turned a 10.9sec/130mph quarter on the bike, and until recently had the slip from the track. Moved too many times and can't find it though.

edit: your list did not even include any Kawasakis from earlier than 1996, so I'm not sure how you can say the 750 Turbo was slower. It has 112 hp to the 190 of the ZX-14, but also weighs 100lbs less.

To me driving is still a visceral experience. Take that Vette, put a .520 lift cam in it and with those side pipes it sounds like nothing else ever made, along with the Ford AC Cobras. Open-top driving with a 427 under the hood--nothing else like it.

While the mid-60's Corvettes and Cobras continue to appreciate in price and are highly desired by collectors 50 years after their manufacture, in another 50 years the Chiron will be a high-tech automotive curiosity and nothing more.

Edit: Oh Yeah I forgot about the pleasure of operating standard heavy duty clutch mated to a Muncie M-22 "Rockcrusher" 4-speed transmission. Driving one of those bad boys isn't for the faint of heart, you'll get a workout.

Did you see that Lambo is putting an SUV on the market in 2017-18? It's got V8 twin turbos. Should cost between $150K and $200K. Interestingly, they're doing it for the Chinese market. The Urus.

That Jeep looks pretty sick...

That Jeep looks pretty sick...

I think it kind of looks like a sleeper, which is very cool. Imagine rolling up to a stoplight and giving that thing just a casual glance before it annihilates you in a cloud of tire smoke.

Now, If I wanted to go the Supercar performance route, Id do it this way, and STILL be under 100k.

If I were to spend that kind of cash on a car (I wouldn't and would never be able to, anyway) I'd rather have this:



This is it: Koenigsegg

Koenigsegg has gone full ludicrous mode...

The Koenigsegg Jesko Has 1600 HP and Promises a 300-MPH Top Speed

It also has a nine-speed gearbox with seven clutches.

The exterior design is the work of Joachim Nordwall, but since Koenigsegg believes this car will be capable of over 300 MPH with its 1600 ethanol-fed horses, most of the Jesko's shapes were necessarily drawn with the help of a wind tunnel.

I like how it's capped at 260mph, ya know, for road use. I doubt that car can even make it down a street in New Orleans without all the body work being destroyed.
