540K Special for me too. But regardless, nice post dOmInIX! At least I never get tired of looking at the pictures of these great cars.

Re: Bugatti Type 55 Super Sport Roadster vs. Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster

As much as I adore the 540K ...the Bugatti is so much more noble. For me, it is a hard choice, the Mercedes is built to a standard the Bugatti engineers could only dream of ....but the Bugatti is so beautiful.

I think I would choose the Bugatti in this case ....but I can't say for certain.

Right now, it would be Bugatti, but I have to see these cars IRL!

Re: Bugatti Type 55 Super Sport Roadster vs. Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster

The Bugatti is obviously a classic, but in terms of design, it looks so "plain" compared to the Mercedes. I'm sure it is sportier, but I'd take the Mercedes 540K.

Same for me, but i can certainly say the Bugatti. Both are stunners, but its obvious the Bugatti is more intriguing.

Re: Bugatti Type 55 Super Sport Roadster vs. Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster

Both are absolutely beautiful cars!

I noticed something: does anybody else see the resemblance between the headlights of the MB 540K Special Roadster and those of the Maybach? Now I know where they got the idea!

Check it out, I have tried to highlight the emblems...

Thanks! Never thought of it as a wallpaper, it's a bit too small I think
