Am I really the only one who thinks the Veyron isn’t ugly at all, but a classy and somewhat timeless design? I wouldn’t go for outright beautiful, but there is something to it that reflects well, I think, what VW wanted to do with Bugatti. I quite like it.

My dad had a base R9. All doors weren’t the same color, and it was a living Hell in summer, but it could still do 160kph (somewhat) reliably every summer when we went to Bordeaux. Good memories!

Frenchman here too, I’m in on the joke! An R9 as a track car... Next week, enjoy our Dakar-ready Ami 6!

Well considering that Gen 2 Prius can be had for around 10 grand here in France, that it’s fantastically advanced (I didn’t say exciting, don’t get angry), and just won’t break (my parents owned one for 5 years and literally nothing happend to it), I would say there are some exceptions to that rule.

10/10 would daily (read).

I once made a (short) trip with 5 people (2 adults and 3 teenagers) in a 500. The struggle was not so much fitting everyone inside, but going up the hill to get home.

The problem here in France is that the “Regions” around existing tracks (Magny-Cours, but also Le Castellet for example) don’t have the money to pay Ecclestone, and the state doesn’t want to pay because it would be bad press (blah blah petrol kills blah blah we can’t pay for that). Doing anything towards drivers or…

I saw the car this week-end at Le Mans, and it is small. Maybe not old Alpine small, but certainely smaller than something like a Cayman. That’s why I liked this concept so much, the proportions are just right, and it really works on a car that small.

So what’s next? Robot revolution?

Yes he is! I think he’ll make a video out of this, as the trailer on its channel suggests. Can’t wait!

The Lotus 2-eleven should be a strong contender for this one!
