And you can slot the driver's head back on even in a worst case scenario.At least it will be easy to repair.

I suspect it’s only a matter of time before we’ll see another 4-door concept.

Booo.... Headline: Chiron could go fastest, but probably won't - Bugatti boss | CarAdvice
"If you do it then it's not something that needs to be done only once, but all the cars need to be built in a certain way."
I mean a big raison d'être for this car is top speed, but Winkelmann is pulling a McLaren P1. And is that a lie from him? - in the lego Chiron press release last month they indicated they were doing top speed testing at Ehra-Lessien with a picture of a MFG car shown.
Too much white? Love the brightwork.

1,300-HP Audi Races Bugatti Chiron In David Vs. Goliath Showdown
The ultimate supercar gets a wake-up call from this sneaky sleeper.
Ask any car-crazy auto buff about the definition of a sleeper, and you’ll likely get a slightly different answer every time. We don’t think anyone could argue this particular B5 S4 isn’t a sleeper of the highest magnitude, and not just because it typically falls into the sleeper category anyway. That’s because a stock B5 makes upwards of 260 horsepower (193 kilowatts) from its twin-turbo V6, whereas this unassuming Audi makes just a bit more – 1,300 hp (969 kW) to be exact. Wait, what?
That explains why this sedan is lining up next to a Bugatti Chiron for some drag racing. The video comes from cvdzijden - Supercar Videos on YouTube, showing action from an event in Germany held yesterday called SCC 500 Rolling 50 1000 and yes, we know that name is super awkward. We don’t know the full details of the event but basic sleuthing tells us it’s a sprint that spans 1000 meters (3,280 feet) with the competitors going full power from 50 km/h after a short roll.
We see no shortage of anxious drivers in some pretty exceptional rides waiting for a run, but we have to believe nobody expected this sedate Audi sedan to pretty much blitz the field, least of which being the pilot of the Chiron. Even with 1,300 hp, the Audi still gives up nearly 200 hp to the almighty Bugatti, but the Audi is almost certainly lighter so there’s certainly a chance for the small sedan to pull off a tremendous upset.
Unfortunately, the camera angle isn’t the greatest for sussing out a clear winner, at least when it comes to crossing the line first. In both passes the Chiron appears to take an advantage, especially since it sounds like the Audi is fighting for traction. Elapsed times aren’t made available, but we do get to see the finish-line speed of both cars, and well, the Audi is freaking fast. It goes 307 km/h (190.7 mph) on the first run, which is amazing but still not as fast as the 328 km/h (203.81 mph) posted by the Chiron.
The second run, however, is a different story. We'll leave the final outcome to the video but know this – the S4 goes faster than the Chiron did on its first pass. Yeah, that S4 definitely qualifies as a supreme sleeper.

I like how stock the Audi looks, but I’d have the Chiron all day everyday.

The McLaren 720S is a blistering quick car but this shows once and for all the Chiron is in a totally different league. It's a rocketship on wheels. Mindblowing quick.
At the end of the drag strip the speed of the 720S is 296kmh, but the Chiron clocked 327kmh!

Don't know where to start.
Cheap trailer, not to mention getting in through the window.
Didn't know the Bug has a LC
Doesn't know how to activate speed key
And then those wheels
It annoys me how people disrespect all that goes into building a car like this. Florida car guys are the worst.

So they somehow managed to have the funds to order a Chiron, then put on some tacky aftermarket wheels (which I doubt they are as well engineered as the factory Bugatti ones) and proceed to thrash the car up and down the street with zero warm up and run in. OK.
