Hey, I know you need to keep the lights on at home, but as an artist I have to give this sponsor a real yikes. This one is gross. Blue-chip trading is gross. The entire thing is really, really gross. Your videos are otherwise sterling, thanks for uploading such quality content. I wouldn't reply if it weren't kind of personal here.
I was absolutely not ready to click on this random car video in my feed and go “Fluump?” I haven’t watched RL videos in ages and yet I instantly recognized your voice. That’s wild. Glad to see you found something you’re passionate about video wise.
_"So with the Veyron that was the target and by golley they had to hit that number or he would probably smack them with a pastry"_ This is exactly what happened.
Pretty much all mayor manufacturers gave up on top speed records after the Mclaren F1 because it's still the fastest N/A production car and VAG bought the brand from Romano Artioli who tried to revive the Bugatti with the EB110
Amazing vehicle. Full respect for the performance and attempt to make it a car that could actually be driven. Personally, not a fan of the looks though. To me, it just looks like a bland "bubble" car. The Lamborghini Miura though. Now THAT is a beautiful car.
You're comparing apples to oranges. The Veyron can do circles around the Lamborghini. A poser can still rent a Lamborghini and drive it down the beach pretending to be a baller. You cant fake a Bugatti
@@giggiddy It is most definitely an apples to oranges comparison, and I have never claimed it wasn't. The Veyron is 40 years newer and built with an entirely different goal in mind. It is like comparing an F-22 Raptor to a P-51 Mustang. The P-51 may be beautiful, and one of the best of its time, but it is still 40 years older. At the same time, remember that looks are subjective. The Veyron looks bland and boring, to me, while the Miura is interesting to look at. Again, to me. That isn't meant to disparage all the Veyron is. Sometimes ugly cars outperform beautiful cars (just look at Subaru). That is ok. Doesn't mean they aren't ugly though.
@@craigpaul623 Gotcha. Couldn't agree more. And by the way, I also think the Lamborghini is more attractive than the Veyron as well. But I have to think the Veyron looks like it does to house the equipment to enable it to perform as it does. Either way, I won't be buying either one anytime soon. Lol cheers sir!
@@giggiddy Both Lamborghini and Bugatti are owned by VAG 😆, Lamborghini was on life support before Audi came along and Bugatti was dead before Volkswagen came along
Was never a fan of the looks of the Veyron, but it really set the bar for all performance cars to come. 250+mph top speed in a daily drivable luxury coupe is staggering even today.
I never was a fan of Bugatti or the Veyron but even i have to admit the Veyron its just a Piece of Art on wheels, and a show of the most impressive ingeneering that humans can create! im still on the Koenisegg team tho
Not a car for me but this was one of the last cars that really wowed me. There few cars (very few) that I really loved since this one, but not many. And the last "breakthrough" one I think it was the Veyron.
Wow, Bart! This is quite a departure from cars like your Mark I Midget. How many Mark I Midget engines would it take to equal the power of one of these Bugatti's?
My hot take is the car is interesting as a piece of design art and engineering, but it's beyond ugly and practically useless. Just sheer power for the sake of power, more cylinders for the sake of more cylinders, just more more more, and for that, I think it's an awful car
It's not a useful vehicle in really any way, but if I was a many many millionare, I'd have to have one, probably over a Chiron. Though I'd take an F1 or T50 over either Bugatti lol.
@@AmosDohms that's what I mean. A better way to put it is gaudy and crass. If I had the money to spend, I'd rather have a Pagani. Any Pagani. Or even just a Maybach. Even a Ferrari, and I hate Ferrari. But I hate them less than Bugatti. Bugatti seems intent to be the "500 dollar gold leaf covered steak" of cars. They are the Dubai of cars. All flash and no substance
@@laurenmartinez55 1000+ horsepower and 250mph+ top speed is plenty of substance IMO, not to mention the engine. I guess we just have different opinions on what's gaudy, as you perfectly described how I feel about Pagani or any of these EV hypercars, with the exception of Rimac.
@@AmosDohms I don't consider raw horsepower and top speed or drag times of any consideration. Any ham fisted idiot can cram 1000 horsepower into a 2JZ, put drag slicks on and do good times. But the Zonda R is as fast if not a little faster than GT300 race cars around a race track. That is what I consider real substance. Maybe without the all wheel drive and turbochargers and interior could a Veyron keep up but we'll never know because Bugatti never made a car like that
@@laurenmartinez55That's true, but as a complete package, the Veyron is unbeatable, or at least it was two decades ago. Pagani does make very impressive vehicles, I just prefer Koenigsegg's design.
Thanks for the video! In Italian, "gio" is pronounced like the name "Joe", NOT like the word "geo". Similarly, "gia" is pronounced "ja" (similar to the last syllable of "Georgia") and not "jee-uh". The role of the "i" is entirely to tell you "pronounce this 'g' like a 'j'" -- the "i" itself is not otherwise pronounced.
I was amazed by its top speed until I learned that it takes you 12 minutes to run out of gas at that speed, most of the horsepower is wasted on wind drag at those speeds. A 500hp car can reach 325km/h but you need 1200hp to reach 425km/h, it’s so not efficient
To go 3x as fast you need 8x as much power it’s not wasted it’s needed to go that fast as the quicker you go the denser the air effectively becomes because of compression as the car try’s too push the air out of its way . Really what is a waste is how little power comes out of a engine of its size and how much the whole car weighs

I was always blown away how they were able to keep The original Bugatti Grill But not sacrificing the looks department
Wait, no mention of the EB110?
My sentiments exactly when he said they’d been dormant since 1952
Yeah I was pretty mad about that 😅
5:25 Ettore Bugatti was born Italian, later receiving French citizenship, but Bugatti the company was French.
exactly
Bugatti is German founded in 1909 molsheim Germany
These cars are incredible engineering marvels. I don't care if I'll never ever be able to afford it I like that they strove for something amazing.
Bugatti wasn't an Italian company, it was French. Ettore Bugatti may have been born in Italy, but he lived in France.
It was italian when the brand was owned by Romano Artioli 😆
It was founded in Germany

you should talk about those obnoxiously lifted trucks with crazy undercarriage work that cost like 200k to build but in reality sell for much less
I love your content but please check your sponser before recommending us to put our money there...
Missed out on the EB110 as an active time for the name in the early 90’s

The Veyron is a very cool bubble car, very distinct from a boring bubble car IMO.

True. The Chiron is a great looking car. The Veyron, not so much
I never was a fan of Bugatti or the Veyron but even i have to admit the Veyron its just a Piece of Art on wheels, and a show of the most impressive ingeneering that humans can create! im still on the Koenisegg team tho
It's still outside my understanding. Absolutely amazing cars.

She is not a crazy vehicle... She is art .. it takes thousands, millions of hours to study, test, design, creativity, and build it....
I really like your smart explanations.

Saw that masterworks sponsorship coming a mile away lol, good segue tho
To me there is nothing wrong with making the best, no matter the cost.
And looks like a coffe machine
5:27 isn't Bugatti France?
the mention of the German approach is about vw, the german automaker that acquired it
The company was founded in 1909 in the then-German city of Molsheim, Alsace, by the Italian-born industrial designer Ettore Bugatti.
The greatest car of all time.
A fortune cookie on wheels
300 with the top down 👀
Yeah that would be something.
Thanks for the video!

they didn't. pretty sure the mclaren f1 was a hyper car like 14 years earlier. and there were others after.
I appreciate the engineering but don’t particularly like the styling

Wasn't the Mclaren F1 the first hypercar?
Hello,
Great Content!
from,
Everyone
You got so many things wrong in this video. I'm starting to question your research or car knowledge.
I wonder if you realise that your criticisms were just like the narrow-minded criticisms that you accuse others of.
Very early.
stinky, burly
Veyron early
Two too many wheels to be of interest to me. Get a Turbo Hayabusa for a lot less and have a lot more fun.
1st
same as bed
Was never a fan of the looks of the Veyron, but it really set the bar for all performance cars to come. 250+mph top speed in a daily drivable luxury coupe is staggering even today.
