In 1974, Panther followed up on yesterday’s J.72 roadster with this, the spectacularly extravagant De Ville limousine. Like the J.72, the De Ville combined a retro appearance with modern Jaguar mechanical parts. In this case, the apparent inspiration for the design was the Bugatti Royale. Spotted at the NEC Classic Car Show, 2024. Anyway - take a close look at those doors and read the second post in this thread too… 1/2

Mir fällt eine ketzerische Frage zum neuen VW-Skandal auf:

Wenn man soviel über die Datenmissbrauchssammlung von #VW und #Seat und etwas weniger bei #Audi und #Skoda liest, dann fällt auf, dass die VW-Luxusmarken in der Liste IIRC gar nicht auftauchen.

Fehlen #Porsche, #Bugatti und Co. aus technischen Gründen? Oder wird der Plebs bei jedem Atemzug überwacht, während sich die Lindners der Republik durch Zahlung von Anonymitäts-Extras von digitaler Totalüberwachung freikaufen können?

Continued thread

A 8.3 L naturally aspirated #V16 engine, combined with 3 electric motors, a limited (!) top speed of 445 km/h, C02 emissions reduced to 50% of the Chiron's (still >200 g/km), 3D-printed bone-like suspension arms to save weight, air ducts below the headlights, a beautifully crafted dual-tone interior with an analogue (!) instrument cluster resembling an expensive watch and a steering wheel with a fixed central hub.

Ettore #Bugatti once said: ‘If comparable, it is no longer Bugatti’.

Last Thursday, the 20th of June, the new #Bugatti #Tourbillon was presented. After the Veyron in 2005 and the Chiron in 2015, this 2026 model isn't named after a racing driver, but after the tourbillon mechanism, a balancing structure used in mechanical #watches.

Can I just say this is an automotive piece of #art?

Price tag? 3.8 million euros before taxes. Still, it's not because you can't afford a Van Gogh that you can't admire it 🤩.
