Ugly thing in a pretty kind of a way

Has some grunt, has four turbos and 4wd. Sounds the business.

Never driven/been driven in one, but have sat in one

Cheers

Ian

I sat in one at the motorshow, found about three quid in the seat too Then got kicked off the stand cos we weren't supposed to be in it

Dunno much else about them tho, other than they're quite cute and go really fast

Thumbs up

I remember when J Clarkson tested it on Top Gear -- he wondered which of the Bugatti design team stood up at a meeting and said "right then, let's give it FOUR turbochargers."

I think the designer was Romano Artioli (or maybe he just owned the company at the time). He was absolutely convinced that a 600bhp supercar should be 4WD (seems fair enough to me). I remember him writing a letter to Autocar to that effect.

I remember the Magazine article "Blagging a Bugatti!" where the Journo was left holding the keys to their finest example of automotive intoxacation.

He decided to jump in the car and er yes you guessed right! He bloody well nicked it! I bet the PR man at Bugatti had a twitchy **** for about half an hour untill it was returned in one piece.

Didn't Schumacher get given one as a present when he drove for Benetton? Nice work if you can get it
