Why Bugattis are SO expensive REVEALED!
video description
For a Hypercar engine it's SO inefficient.
Plus a 5. 0L engine running on E85 is way more eco friendly than a 8L engine running on pump gas.

Partly the cost will be down to everything being engineered to the finest of tolerances. Also, everything is hand built and hand assembled. Also exotic materials are used throughout (titanium alloy and other high melting point elements and alloys used to forge the pistons, con rods, crankshafts, valve trains out of. In addition, pump technology must be right out there: fuel, oil and air pumps, radiators, etc, must be extremely powerful, robust and high quality to cope with the PSI pressures they are subjected to. I'll bet even the consummables - like gaskets - are high tech and made of exotic compounds too! Also, there is exclusivity which adds to prices: ultra small production runs means that huge numbers of engineers, relatively, employed to design, build and test small production runs of cars. That combinrd labour pushes up the price, not to mention the time involved to go from blue print to finished product

Long story short, it's like Picasso's story:
Picasso was recognised by a lady in a coffee shop and asked to make a quick sketch. When he finished the quick sketch he asked a large amount of money with it in return. The lady was shocked and asked why it costs this much when it just took minutes. Picasso replied that it took years of practice to make it in minutes, causing the price.
Same with Bugatti's. Their respect and magnificent engineering makes it so expensive. Even though it's 'just' a car that can bring you from A to B, it's the story that you buy and the story flows through the engine.

Yeah, you see. 25 000 miles of road & track testing, wind tunnels, all this stuff. Hennessey has done NONE of these things. His car went straight from a 3D CAD drawing into getting built in less than 18 monhts. Everything is simulated on a PC. It has never seen the inside of a wind tunnel or been driven hard on a track. It also has ZERO airbags and no number plates. Because it has no VIN / Chassis number. Because its not a real production car.

No car should cost millions, but ignoring that, the best justification in my opinion is that Bugattis are super fast and on top of that luxurious and posh on the inside, instead of being rattly, uncomfortable carbon fiber buckets like most other Hypercars, especially the Koenigseggs.

In Germany they have speed limits on test tracks for insurance reasons. In Italy they don't, but if something happens the guy responsible will flee the country like that cruise ship captain and you are stuck with the bill.
Both ways of doing it have their pros and cons.

They just so happened to have a spare Divo lying around.
Can you guys make a video on the design philosophy of a car. Lamborghini have the X Y design strategy.
Or could Mat finally get one of his cars wrapped at Yiannimize?

I love Bugatti because of the insane design and the insane performance of their cars! I love the performance of the W16 engine with amazing revs! I love Bugatti! The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is my ultimate dream car!

The Bugatti is Italian only that it is built in France. Besides because there are no speed limits in Italy, they are tested in the south, especially in the Puglia region, precisely because it is Italian.

I think it was the Veyron which was initially made as a project and the R&D was so expensive that they lost money on every one sold, but it was more of a theoretical test than a money making scheme

Mat I believe the person who purchased the 1 of 1 Bugatti La Voiture Noire was Cristiano Ronaldo but don t hold me to that. Superb video as usual keep up the great work.

For the original Bugatti Veyron, Bugatti asked the Williams F1 team if they could borrow their wind tunnel. Williams said Sorry, but ours dont go up to those speeds

Not to add that Bugattis are reliable as hell it's always easy to overboost an engine like Koenigsegg and Hennessey but making them reliable is a different ball game

Nobody has ever blown a Bugatti, or Koenigsegg engine. You would RUIN a hypercars value if you were to start screwing around with it in your own garage.

The question: which is the best brand? Bugatti or Ferrari.
My answer: anyone that don t sue their customers and/or Charity organization.
