Default Bugatti Special : EB110, 112, 118, 218, Chiron, Veyron ...

Remember that museum ? :arrow: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22275

The Bugatti factory being in Molsheim, which is in the region, there's a Bugatti exhibition running from the 14th of April to the 5th of November with the Veyron and all the recent EB prototypes

The light was of course crap Spotlights lighting everywhere, alternating darkness and rough light, lasers ... :silly:

Anyway time for the pics :

EB110


EB112



EB118


EB218, has anyone ever thought of a worse decoration ? :shock: there was absolutely nothing to do with that shit ...



The EB 18.3 Chiron, the car I came for, was obviously rotating, I usually hate to put the flash but had no choice
Still a great looking car IMO.


Just press a button and the Chiron heads to another dimension !



And the already boring Veyron This is one of the 17 test mules, it tested extreme temperature conditions in Finland and South Africa





The rest of their collection, several F1s, Le Mans competitors ...





Finally because there aren't many pics, my London sightings, took them last week (visited London the tourist way so no base camping at hide park corner, camera ready to shoot ... maybe next time :bah: )

Yes, this is a great museum with an awesome collection, they have so many pieces that they can't show all of them so they have a turnover to enable all the cars to be exposed ...

This Chiron is awesome, even if you used the flash, the result is very good.

love the Dauer 962 car... but i've never been a fan of the long-tail 962's compared to the high d/f package myself.

also, nice sighting of that Ferrari... i cant quite make out what model it is... but it looks DEAD sexy!

So whatever happened to all these bugattis of the 90s? where they all concepts? some of those actually look good enough to be produced IMO. I suppose that sloping rear end is reminicent of the Atlantis, well they didn't do a good job, it looks bad.

DAMN IM IN HEAVEN :faint: . God i have never seen the chiron so close up like that :shock: and in the colour it's even more amazing :shock: ., it dwarfs the veyron just sitting there, the style, everything :shock: . Also the other bugattis are awesome too . The EB118 is so awesome and the eb110 looks so awesome against that background. The veyron is nothign compared with teh chiron but is still a masterpiece in its own right 8) . The maserati 3200gt is gorgeous in the lodnon sightings bit and the dino is awesome too :shock: . Thanks darkel so much for covering this event. I am going to save every pic of that chiron .
Thanks for pics 8)

Well, 18 cylinder engines would've been even harder to run and cool properly I guess.

Thanks for the comments, guys
