Most expensive new car ever...Bugatti

Bugatti, the French sports car brand that is now owned by German automaker Volkswagen, has revealed the most expensive new car ever built.

With a sale price of 16.7 million euros ($19 million), the Bugatti La Voiture Noire was publicly debuted Tuesday at the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland.

I’d buy a McLaren F1 if I had that kind of coin, their value rises almost every time one of them changes hands. And yes $19-20M is their current value.
That one off Bugatti is a vanity piece, doubtful that it will be more than a curiosity in the future.

No thanks - too common... ...huge number being produced - - I can’t abide 14 others owning the same car as moi.

Now this is more to my liking:

Bugatti really turned things around with the Chiron imo. It’s a beauty.

The Veyron is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Always hated it.

Indeed. The swooping line in the rear end is a nice nod to their past. I’ll admit I didn’t hate the veryon at release but the design isn’t aging well.

The Bugatti just doesn't do it for me in the looks department. Very "cool" to look at it, but not my taste.

No way, considering how screwed up the VW Group is with Bentley's POS ... that was perfect for them to separate the money from the fools in the world. I've come to the conclusion that's basically what VW group is doing by separating the foolish from their money so their egos can be enhanced.
