It’s OK that zee Germans have shat out another butt-ugly numbers generator using the greatest nameplate in automotive history despite it being nothing like the kind of thing Ettore Bugatti would have made because the current Bugatti company is a badge purchased from people who purchased the badge decades after the badge that was put on truly great things died.

It’s even less of a Bugatti than this...thing was a Studebaker, since at least that horrible monstrocity was built by the first company to buy the Studebaker/Avanti name after the company went bankrupt. The Chiron is a product of people who bought a name from a failure who bought a name fro ma failure.

I don’t think you can, honestly, the people who do the C0rvette-based Avantis made that thing and it never went beyond the prototype.

But how do you really feel about the current use of the Bugatti name?

Ah, Borgward. One of the great “what might have been” questions.

They’re just getting started. (At least the nameplate). Idk if they would actually still exist today if they hadn’t gone bankrupt in the early 60s.
