BUGATTI DOES NOT build cars for going places. Going somewhere, rather, is an excuse to drive a Bugatti. “We are not talking about transportation,” Bugatti boss Wolfgang Durheimer told me last year, when he unveiled the Chiron, a more extreme successor to the ultra-extreme Veyron. “We are talking about being very fast, being very unusual, being top of the top.”
Being the top of the top starts at $2.6 million, which buys you a car with roughly enough power to light a small city.
