In an ideal world, Bugatti would make a few 1500 HP bonkers-useless Chirons, but then also sell a lesser, much more affordable and useful version, something with basically the same body, but with a V8 or maybe the V10 from the R8. Something just above the R8, around Lamborghini level.
But we all believed it to Koenigsegg’s credit.
no transmission = no gears = less weight
Koenigsegg, not to be upstaged by the new Bugatti Chiron, has finally revealed the production version of its…
The styling here works in a way that the Veyron never really did for me.
It makes me so sad to know that the vast majority of these incredible engineering masterpieces will be bought by people who will shoehorn them into their collection, where they will sit, endlessly among their peers.
Sure, maybe they will be waxed and buffed daily, but I highly doubt they will be truly appreciated. I’m…
“More than 60,000 liters (15,850 gallons) of air get forced through the engine every minute”
For the price of a new Bugatti Chiron, you could buy this gently used P-51D Mustang!
I hope this ends up as COTD just for the extra exposure. Your time and energy has saved lives, and I respect you.
Thank you for working to make the roads safer. I’m sure the Police, EMS and Medical Staff [like my wife] are grateful for your efforts.
When I come through there at night in my RV at 70mph I am a rolling traffic hazard.
I agree, I want this guy to go to jail for the rest of his life and then some, but FFS you never admit anything to the cops! If you feel the need to unburden yourself, wait until the DA has arraigned you and your lawyer is negotiating your plea and do it through them; or better yet, go confess to your priest. Despite…
I check my tire pressure and fill up my blinker fluid every morning.
My thoughts exactly. If 85 was too fast to react to the other car changing lanes, that car was going dangerously slow for highway travel. Seems like 120+ would be more believable. Also, it would be interesting if truck drivers were trained to operate their vehicles like train engineers. If someone cuts you off, just…
because he is still human and understands he fucked up.
Speed was no doubt an important factor here; chronologically speaking, it was the first of many mistakes made that night.
If there’s one thing I learned on my first job doing tech support it’s that there’s no age limit on stupidity.
Generally, people who do dumb things past the age of 25? end up being really dumb. That and he might have been under the influence.
The driver of the Challenger, 35-year old Dealio Lockhart, admitted to CHP officers that he had been racing. He’s 35?
They were probably going faster than 85-90 mph. 85 is kind of the flow of traffic on the freeway in LA at midnight. Nobody goes slower than 75, most people go 80.
