Yeah his voice and manner of talking is like being plucked by ducks.

M

He always sounds like he's whispering.

 

[ThroughandThrough]

I don't have a problem with his voice.

If you do, then hit the mute button.

His voice is not a problem. I think he is Turkish so he has quite a strong accent but he speaks good English.

More so than his voice, what leaves me wondering is how on earth he got access to shoot the video at the Bugatti dealership,and even sit inside it... I checked out his other videos,he tends to inspect /test drive cars that are infinitely more affordable in general

I don't think it matters, perhaps Bugatti is more welcoming than we expect. They are getting free media exposure, besides, the video was shot in high quality and we get a good look at the exterior and interior.

That said, what a car, right? The materials used and the build quality, exterior and interior, are truly second to none....

Now I see where the side air intake originated - the Type 41.

I am surprised how mow much I've come around to the Chiron. I still don't "lust" after it, but I like it. The rear and the C-line are just beautifully executed. I really love how the carbon fiber flows from the dash down to the tunnel.

I think you are right ....this styling element was used on several Bugatti designs from the 1930s.

Beautiful limousine isn't it. It is known as the Coupé Napoleon and was owned by Ettore Bugatti himself. It has always been one of my favourite cars.
It was originally a two-door coupé but was rebodied after it was damaged in an accident.

Only a few cars from this era can match the magnificence of Bugatti .....I think of Duesenberg, Packard, Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz.

Absolutely amazing

Did you,by chance, get to see it in person?

Yes, earlier today. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

You're one lucky guy my friend.... So, out of curiosity, what has impressed you the most about it? The exterior? The interior? The sound (if they turned it on, of course)?
Any general comments about it? Thx

I went by to check it out, but they put it all the way in the back, under a cover. What's the purpose of Manhattan Motorcars advertising they've got all over social media, but they won't let the public see it. At least park it up front where passersby can see.

I agree, this is the absolute best kind of publicity a dealership could have. Having 1 out the 2 Chirons currently in existence at their new showroom.

I believe they were unhappy with the amount of non-customer traffic coming to check out the Chiron. Even when I was there sales associates were rushing a few folks and myself.

Did you get to sit inside? I'm asking too many things, I know, but I just wanted to hear about your impressions of the car

I'm afraid not, rather, no one asked assuming the answer would've been no.

The Chiron exterior design is something else. Aérolithe in Bugatti terminology. Although wider and slightly taller that the Veyron, it has a more streamlined and elongated appearance.

The body work gives the impression being very tightly formed over the monocoque, pulling back from the horseshoe grille and headlights into the three fine lines (Right/Left & Center plus two more which begin on top behind the windshield left/right), which stretch to the rear. More amphibious is the exterior versus the insectile shape of the Veyron. The spokes of the 20'/21' inch rims are much skinner than of all the rims seen on the Veyron, making them look even bigger than the actual diameter of the rims.

The 'C' side character line/intake with the bright work might be my favorite portion along with rear 3/4 'hips'. The character line carries on top and drops sharply into the rear.

The rear is 'naked' like the P1 and the central light bar floats within the carbon rear fascia, which looks pretty awesome in person. In contrast to the Veyron, the Chiron looks better with the rear spoiler down. The rear isn't exactly what I'd call pretty, rather, its extremely imposing. The details of the headlights can't be captured in photos.

What I saw of the interior through the window was three materials used throughout - dry carbon, magnesium, and acres of leather. The central 'C' light bar, partitioning the interior, was illuminated with the car off. The interior is airy/roomy like the Veyron as opposed to Koenigseggs (I couldn't fit my legs into to sit properly in the Regera). Definitely has my vote for nicest interior on a production car.

Thank you for the excellent write-up, sako97 ... On the interior front, I agree with you, it's also my favorite amongst the current production cars.

Regarding the Koenigsegg interior btw, out of curiosity, how tall are you?

Noticed that somehow we did not post this one, an insight on the design & engineering that went into the Chiron...Not exactly new stuff, from the Geneva Motor Show, but enjoy nevertheless
