Going against trends is very difficult. But Bugatti are right; car interiors age very quickly. Technology ages very quickly. So an interior littered with screens just won't stand the test of time. Analogue always will. Especially if designed and engineered in such an exceptional way, as this is. Beautiful really.
@@dr_racing7998I doubt it. Perhaps on everyday cars but for exotics I think it’ll stay and trail down to entry level sports cars maybe. It’s unnecessary but it’s one more detail that makes a car unique. You can only make screens look so cool, at the end of the day they’re just graphics on a flat screen. Seeing physical needles and gauges is something special IMO. Especially with watch designers doing the work. It’s like an all electric motor vs internal combustion engine. The older one could be outdated but people still want it even tho you can make more power and go faster with an all electric motor.
I wish vehicle manufacturers would recognise that driving enthusiasts don't want complex, glitchy touchscreens. Just give us mechanical gauges. It wasn't broke, so there was no need to 'fix' it. Oh, and Elon; When the car has this much power, or even that of a Model 3, gauges need to be in front of the driver, not to the side buried within menus and sub menus.
Looks cool but also looks impractical. Too low, for a start; driver has to divert eyes quite a long way downwards, perhaps when travelling at very high speed. And tiny instruments far too small to read, especially for Bugatti's older clientele who need reading glasses. I always think they should have a nonlinear speedo. This first half for 0-150, and the second half for up to 500. About two-thirds of the speedo reading will almost never be used.
@@matthewgodwin3050Well, the odometer broke on my Volvo 850SE, at around 80,000 miles. Apparently it's to do with poor quality plastic gears. But yes, I prefer 'simple' analogue guages and controls. Not into unnecessary complications.
I think Mate is a genius! And in the right way still. He clearly sees the heritage of Bugatti and lives up to it. Not too stubborn to push his original idea into it. Let's hope he stays genious this way and doesn't turn an Elon sooner or later.
Yes…and I’m going home doing midnight! 😃😃😃 Also…no silly pops and bangs..just a pure mechanical engine sound that does not need trick exhausts. At £4M, I need one and as my Euromillions win is only a day or two away, it is time to choose colours!😎😎😎😎
@@PhilbyFavourites I was thinking Toyota Corolla beige with Old English White wheels and a ginger brown cloth interior….it might be as good as the chocolate brown Veyron that has lurked in many an auction over the last 5/6 years!😎
When engineering meets artistry, this is the result - a masterpiece in precision, capturing the essence of speed, power, beauty, and elegance. Mate Rimac and team, odlično.
The fact a company like Bugatti chose Cosworth to produce the engine makes me feel proud to be British. The car is a work of art and an engineering masterpiece. Never thought I’d say it, but you can see where the money goes.
We're fortunate that a young engineer and entrepreneur like Mate Rimac envisions his cars being relevant decades from now as the majority of all others won't be. This car is absolutely stunning in every way.
I wish the new owners didn't make it a hyper car. Too many hyper cars. VW would have continued to make a hyper gt, a more unique segment, like the previous cars
@@jagolago-bob Imo, The Corvette looks like military fighter jet origami with backend only its mother could love. Not sensual, romantic and timeless like this. Not remotely .
Wow I love the fact that as a 50 year old a car like the Tourbillon can excite me as much as when I first saw the Porsche 959 or a Ferrari F40 or Mclaren F1 for the first time. The attention to detail and design cues that hark back to Bugatti history is amazing. also I love the interior that has some of the brave design that Later TVR's were famous for but to the highest levels of material and quality. analogue gauges as well just wow. thanks for giving us a glimpse into this amazing car.
The interior is in a league all its own. The cluster and display is absolutely the most glorious artwork ever produced. Thank goodness they didn't ruin this masterpiece with screens and modern displays... 🙌🏼 🫡
Love how Harry can appreciate all the smallest detail on that car. I can only hope potential buyers also see this car for the marvel that it is, rather than just a status symbol.
Thank you Harry! An engineering masterpiece - so much more than a car - brought to us by probably the most experienced/knowledgeable enthusiast on UA-cam. We are lucky.
Mate Rimac is a legend and so glad he got the sign off to take this car in this direction. Wish the more mainstream manufacturers would stop trying to put everything on a screen.
This is why we do it folks. Whatever branch of automotive you’re coming from, all borders down. Most of us come to this world as kids who enjoy the marvel of being propelled by a machine, and the ultimate machine is right here right now. Something else will come in the future, better and faster, but this is a snapshot in time. An absolutely glorious piece of equipment, and simply timeless.
All the staff at Cosworth should be knighted for their service in defence of the combustion engine. The T50 engine and now this V16, it didn't seem posted in the political climate.
Well they can afford it for low production numbers and huge price tags. Us plebs will have to foot the climate bill and putter around in ecoboxes. No affordable exciting engines exist today.
I'm totally speechless! What a superb piece of engineering excellence. The aero design, the sculptured carbon body and those clocks and steering wheel, are all simply magnificent. Car design at its very, very best. Thanks for the 'deep dive'.
Harry has a way of explaining in forensic detail the technical complexities of the Tourbillon whilst still expressing his admiration for the Bugatti engineers who have built this off the scale car .. Thankyou Harry for another presentational masterclass .
People comparing the Chiron/Tourbillon to Koenigsegg miss the point that Bugatti is an ultra luxury GT that also happens to the first if not second best performing car in the world. It's not a "race car for the streets" but something designed to go to the opera or casino in. It's a statement of luxury and culture.
Have you ever seen Koenigsegg interiors? The attention to detail is just as glorious if not more than this. The approach of Rimac/Bugatti & Koenigsegg are not THAT far apart. Not kidding, I suggest watching some Koenigsegg content.
@@piuthemagicman Koenigsegg is a bit more aggressive and racey with their approach to design though. They do have a great level of innovation for e.g. the carbon-fibre rims, electric motor, etc but I think this time Bugatti have hit out of the park in terms of design and that "special" factor. This car makes the Pagani Utopia look "not so special" imo.
Bugatti is like the bodybuilder type in cars, there's a need for them to be massive like a heavyweight boxer, and GMA is the complete opposite, a lightweight gymnast.
This Bugatti looks like the perfect synthesis of total aggression and ultimate luxury. I mean that front view is a total flex. And that interior...I believe that might be the best interior I've ever seen in any car.
It doesn't matter that the majority of people watching this video can't afford one. It EXISTS and we should just rejoice in that very fact. 👍 When the engineers choose electric doors, having looked at the effect of climate on gas door strut performance, you just know the level of detail that's gone into this car.👍👍 I absolutely love that motorcycle style binnacle and minimalist instrumentation. I can see one major problem though. I'm in the majority who can't afford one.😢
Amazing machine, great that such achievements are being made. The work the perfection gives hope we will indeed survive the social madness set to overwhelm such delights.
I am a fan of luxury watches so wanted to see the significance of the Tourbillon tag. Aside from being at the zenith of engineering and design overall, that mechanical binnacle is beautiful and inspired
Mercedes and Porsche should take note about the screen situation. In 20 years we’ll feel just as bad about today’s screens as we do today looking at the car screens from early 2000s. Get rid of the iPad on the dash.
I agree with Harry. Every decade has highpoint cars. Icons. Not necessarily hugely expensive. Simply a highpoint. And all to be celebrated as representing the era in which they sit. And here we have a quality and engineering highpoint that will never be surpassed. Celebrate it.
The fact that I'll never be able to have one doesn't make me appreciate it any less. I'll probably never go to the moon, but I still love the Apollo missions. I'm just happy that such things can exist and that very clever and dedicated people can express themselves by making it.
Let's hope mainstream manufacturers will see the worth in returning to analogue dials and, as a bonus, lend them a precision, chronograph style.. Lexus achieved it with the first IS and it was a lovely feature.
The platonic car by way of Zeno. I am invigorated by witnessing the works of a culture that has produced magnificent and beautiful art, the industrial revolution and now computers capable of imagination. Truly something worth protecting at all cost. We cannot be sure of anything except that the next Bugatti will be even more impressive.
Believing even "car haters" and NO NO's has no choice but to appreciate your REAL enthusiasm and TRUE joy showing in these vids, especially present and joyful in this one though! So Harry, THX a bunch for bringing us car-gems like this so often and again! 🙏🏼👍😃
The new Bugatti is wonderful and marvellous, but Harry arriving in a Countach is just magic. How a car from 1974, or in Harry's 1985, still is so stunning in such a place is amazing.
I'm glad the new owners have respected the heritage of the brand and have preserved the old buildings on the property. And again, the car is a phenomenal piece of engineering, and as a writer myself it's always nice to see copies of magazines you contributed to on display. It's a lovely car and it is a relief to see a current car without a big screen as the instrument panel.
As a brit, I am so proud that Cosworth is still going strong and is helping design some of the greatest engines of this decade. Such a small company could so easily go bust, and considering Britians history in management of automotive brands, it amazes me they are still working with the best in the industry. 🎉
FWIW, the wishbone won't be AI created, this sort of part optimization is just a normal programmatic part of modern CAD software. Give it a generic design showing the geometry points are, tell it what the loadings will be and it will remove material that isn't directly carrying force. If it was AI it would look like something HR Geiger would have nightmares about while having 17 mounting points, some of which were the road.
For fun, I just asked AI to generate an image ‘a wishbone for the new Bugatti Tourbillon’. It came back with what was obviously a watch, but filled with twisted metal, a few gears and some LEDs.
Very true. It would also include at least a dozen grease nipples, including at least two on the tyre, one on the light cluster, and one on the windscreen...
True... I've seen examples of parts in the past that go through "evolutions", the final strut or support looks organic, like a bone. SolidWorks user here and we did FEA on some parts although that was just loading them at specific points. Beautiful pieces, beautiful car!
Cosworth really are the industry darlings of late: Aston Martin Valkyrie, GMA T50, Redbull's upcoming hypercar and now Bugatti. They must have to play their cards pretty close to their chest and be sworn to secrecy as they'd know what virtually all of the big name manufacturers have got in the works, as they're building the engine! I wonder if they'll have anything to do with the upcoming Ferrari F250...? Maranello do tend to keep most things in-house, but you never know...
Koenigsegg is another automotive engineering art at its finest as well. I do love the direction Bugatti went with the car. Hiring/partnering with Mate was the best thing they could ever do for the brand. It will be very interesting to see what the future looks like.🎉
4.167 L gone in 33 seconds (15:22 to 15:55). Keep driving like that and you'll empty the 100 L tank in another 12 minutes and 39 seconds! At today's petrol prices (for where I am), that's roughly AU$17 per minute. Not that you'll care if you can afford one of these.
I wonder how they "geared" up for that to be the case. Selling a sweet story to brands is one thing...did they already have the machine park to make this happen, or were they able to grow it and their staff as they secured these deals? I love that the Cosworth name is back, and back straight to the top.
@@XavierGoncalves89 That's like saying a LS swapped Camary is faster than a 992 Carrera S....who cares it's still a Camry. Teslas, in fact, are the new Camrys you the suburban moms drive them here in LA.
The Tourbillon is so much better looking (inside and out) than the Veyron and Chiron. And that genuine naturally aspirated V16! This is the first modern era Bugatti since the EB110 of the 90s that has piqued my interest…in a big way! And I never thought that I would ever say that of a hybrid either.
WOW, just WOW. Form, function, next level engineering and bloody beautiful. Brilliant presentation Harry, your enthusiasm is matched equally by this stunning work of art automobile. Merci Bugatti.
When accountants are kept in their department and not allowed to run a company good things happen. It’s when they run companies that it all goes to shit.
@@Bob_Smith19 I told a friend of mine that Accountants can't run companies just before he started his first accounting job. 6 months later he understood why.
@@Bob_Smith19 You could also replace "accountants" with "marketing". Selling or telling the story has unfortunately has become more important than product in most of modern life, far more than just automotive.
@@Bob_Smith19 Some of the largest best-run companies in the UK (FTSE100 companies) have CEOs who are Chartered Accountants. Put your silly prejudices away. All professions (doctors, lawyers, architects) have poor members among them, as do accountants. But the best accountants really are business geniuses.
It's a stunningly beautiful car. The vents around the lights just look superb, the way it directs air. The V16, so rare. But those dials are just incredible; a timeless look. An interesting question is which one between this and the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50? Two cars that pull you in different directions. Why not add the Valkyrie into that question? Because as Alonso found out, it breaks down within an hour. If that was the only one I'd seen of that happening it would be one thing, but there's been many reports. Harry's Garage would need to add a four post lift and employ a few mechanics to test one!
Both the Valkyrie and the T50 are too noisy (the Valk is worst, of course). In f I had the money my choice would be the Tourbillon or a Jesko or Gemera. The Valkyrie, the AMG One, the Czinger 21C and the T.50 have superb performance but sacrifice too much comfort to be driven daily. The T50 in iddle sounds like a fighter jet, push a bit the gast and soulds like a spinning washer. The others are even worse, closer to a concrete mixer. In the Chiron and the Jesko you go from 100 to 300 in a snap and you barely hear the noise of the wind, the tires or even the engine: they are like being sit in a comfy, luxurious sofa in the living room of a mansion. Yes, a large motor revving is exciting, but check the Top Gear review of the Valkyrie in road: is less than 20 minutes, yet you can feel the start of a headache... Spent two weeks in those cars and your your ears will start to bleed...
@@Buran01 That the Valkyrie needs "cans" for the driver and passenger tells you it's not a road car. It's a track car with number plates; never going to be comfortable. T.50 videos I've seen it's ok inside. You're not wearing ear defenders! Unfortunately, the T.50 I was supposed to see running wasn't able to that day. Door catch problem apparently. As for the others, I couldn't say as I've not seen videos on them. The Tourbillion doesn't even exist yet in a car that can be driven; still a lot of development still to do.

WOW , just total WOW , Funniest thing for me was when you showed the car accelerating ,(at 15.20) I watched the fuel gauge move down from 1/2 full to 1/3 full in such a short time. Amazing car , thanks for the tour and video.
This is how a luxury interior should look. No screens, just glorious analogue design.
I agree. Total opposite of a Tesla or cheap Chinese EV. About time. That wheel - mad. Something mid 70s Citroen would reject as a bit too mental.
Are you suuuuuure it wouldn’t be better with an iPad glued to the dash? Maybe one with an impressively thick bezel? Tempted..?
AMEN
Absolutely gorgeous.
Modern Mercedes and Porsche have no excuse selling $200K cars with screens and haptic touch buttons.
I think it's fantastic although I would say the main dial should just have the one needle for revs, the speed one is not needed as people wil look at the digital one. I guess they wanted watch type two "hands" though, same for the power, you could just do one combined.
Going against trends is very difficult. But Bugatti are right; car interiors age very quickly. Technology ages very quickly. So an interior littered with screens just won't stand the test of time.

Let's hope mainstream manufacturers will see the worth in returning to analogue dials and, as a bonus, lend them a precision, chronograph style.. Lexus achieved it with the first IS and it was a lovely feature.
Agreed. But they were quite difficult to read "at a glance'
The platonic car by way of Zeno. I am invigorated by witnessing the works of a culture that has produced magnificent and beautiful art, the industrial revolution and now computers capable of imagination. Truly something worth protecting at all cost. We cannot be sure of anything except that the next Bugatti will be even more impressive.
Harry “knocking it out of the park” again as us Americans would say!
Believing even "car haters" and NO NO's has no choice but to appreciate your REAL enthusiasm and TRUE joy showing in these vids, especially present and joyful in this one though! So Harry, THX a bunch for bringing us car-gems like this so often and again! 🙏🏼👍😃
Loving the instruments!
The new Bugatti is wonderful and marvellous, but Harry arriving in a Countach is just magic. How a car from 1974, or in Harry's 1985, still is so stunning in such a place is amazing.
I was a bit meh until I watched this video. What a piece of art that is. No screens to future proof it. Brilliant.
No screens to future proof it- and no screens a good thing in the present as well!
I'm glad the new owners have respected the heritage of the brand and have preserved the old buildings on the property. And again, the car is a phenomenal piece of engineering, and as a writer myself it's always nice to see copies of magazines you contributed to on display. It's a lovely car and it is a relief to see a current car without a big screen as the instrument panel.
Absolutely stunning car. Not that it'll ever be a worry of mine, but I dread to think about maintenance or, worse, repair costs!
Pocket money for those who can afford
@@TheChannel1978 Very true indeed. But the figures will still be mind-boggling.
As a brit, I am so proud that Cosworth is still going strong and is helping design some of the greatest engines of this decade. Such a small company could so easily go bust, and considering Britians history in management of automotive brands, it amazes me they are still working with the best in the industry. 🎉
FWIW, the wishbone won't be AI created, this sort of part optimization is just a normal programmatic part of modern CAD software. Give it a generic design showing the geometry points are, tell it what the loadings will be and it will remove material that isn't directly carrying force.
If it was AI it would look like something HR Geiger would have nightmares about while having 17 mounting points, some of which were the road.
I think you are right.
Does look insane, though. Reminds me of the form of a human scapula.
For fun, I just asked AI to generate an image ‘a wishbone for the new Bugatti Tourbillon’. It came back with what was obviously a watch, but filled with twisted metal, a few gears and some LEDs.
@@kasimirdenhertog3516 Love it!
Very true. It would also include at least a dozen grease nipples, including at least two on the tyre, one on the light cluster, and one on the windscreen...
True... I've seen examples of parts in the past that go through "evolutions", the final strut or support looks organic, like a bone. SolidWorks user here and we did FEA on some parts although that was just loading them at specific points. Beautiful pieces, beautiful car!
You said it Harry, the pinnacle of Automotive engineering. What an amazing time we live in
Cosworth really are the industry darlings of late: Aston Martin Valkyrie, GMA T50, Redbull's upcoming hypercar and now Bugatti. They must have to play their cards pretty close to their chest and be sworn to secrecy as they'd know what virtually all of the big name manufacturers have got in the works, as they're building the engine! I wonder if they'll have anything to do with the upcoming Ferrari F250...? Maranello do tend to keep most things in-house, but you never know...
Ferrari do there own engines
I wonder if badge engineering will be involved ?
@@peterjones2650I don't know if Ferrari will white label or use a Cosworth engine because they take immense pride in building their own powerplants.
I love how Harry speaks, clear articulation, the English just amazing. I can listen to him talk about cars all day.
Those dials are worth paying millions for. Wow
And worth even more millions not to have to look at !@#% screens!!
Koenigsegg is another automotive engineering art at its finest as well. I do love the direction Bugatti went with the car. Hiring/partnering with Mate was the best thing they could ever do for the brand. It will be very interesting to see what the future looks like.🎉
😂😂😂 on the graphic of the the car accelerating up to 400kph, you can actually see the fuel level going down 😂😂😂
Honest graphic!
On the reflection is says 0 kmh. 👀
Came here to say the same. It was dropping like there was a hole in the tank.
4.167 L gone in 33 seconds (15:22 to 15:55). Keep driving like that and you'll empty the 100 L tank in another 12 minutes and 39 seconds! At today's petrol prices (for where I am), that's roughly AU$17 per minute. Not that you'll care if you can afford one of these.
Where is the gas gauge? I don’t see it
This is the first Bugatti I actually like. Nicely done car.
Cosworth is making EVERY engine of the moment. That's an impressive business feat.
I wonder how they "geared" up for that to be the case. Selling a sweet story to brands is one thing...did they already have the machine park to make this happen, or were they able to grow it and their staff as they secured these deals?
I love that the Cosworth name is back, and back straight to the top.
The interior is really something - quite lovely .
The front upper wishbone looks very similar to a chicken carcass..Bird archetcture is nothing if it is not strength combined with light weight !!!
A good observation and ditto point that! It sure looks organic. Interestingly enough it's AI designed...
@@oddvin31not exactly AI designed. It uses topography optimization generative design. Those softwares have been around for ages.
Nature always knows the solution. No screens, yes!
@@mattcobb3410 Oh....not being familiar to that tech I referred Harry. THX for correcting👍
Those dials are sensational. And no dominating annoying touch screen. Yes. Let's hope other car manufacturers get more imaginative.
Those suspension wishbones were developed by Divergent Technologies, the company that owns Czinger.
Is that the same company doing me organic, almost alien, design for the previous generation brake calipers?
Thought it had something to do with Czinger, they've been working with AI design for a while now.
The interior is truly incredible.
Goddam!! that interior is sublime 😍😛😎👌
You Shall Not take The LORD’S Name in Vain.
EPIC / Car history Every inch was thought out 💯
8.3L V16 hybrid and *half-a-ton* lighter than the new BMW M5 !!
That new M5 is definitely a dud. I remember watching it at goodwood earlier this year and it was very underwhelming, no one seemed exited at all
@@RobertSmith-le8wpa tesla model 3 performance is probably faster than the new m5, the m5 saving grace is the interior
m5 is a family saloon not a supercar
@@XavierGoncalves89 That's like saying a LS swapped Camary is faster than a 992 Carrera S....who cares it's still a Camry. Teslas, in fact, are the new Camrys you the suburban moms drive them here in LA.
BMW should be ashamed
The absolute best Bugatti walkthrough Ive seen to date. The quality on this channel content creators should take note.
The Tourbillon is so much better looking (inside and out) than the Veyron and Chiron. And that genuine naturally aspirated V16! This is the first modern era Bugatti since the EB110 of the 90s that has piqued my interest…in a big way! And I never thought that I would ever say that of a hybrid either.
piqued* your interest
@@prit04👍
Without doubt the most beautiful car in the world today.
It would be wonderful if the analogue clocks returned to motoring. Lets have a focus on driving pleasure and less infotainment
Indeed and less weight, so many cars are getting so heavy, even sports cars (to some extent).
@@DanielSadjadian It's still going to be around if not over 2 tons.
Sadly most modern driving is so dull the entertainment isn’t so daft, but I agree
Please make it so!
Best Tourbillon video. I look forward to seeing Harry rip through his favorite test roads in this beautiful car.
17:22 first gen Citroen C4 and second gen C5 😅
WOW, just WOW. Form, function, next level engineering and bloody beautiful. Brilliant presentation Harry, your enthusiasm is matched equally by this stunning work of art automobile. Merci Bugatti.
When accountants are banished, good things happen.
Actually, when good accountants are banished, companies go bust and production ceases! (You're talking about poor accountants.)
When accountants are kept in their department and not allowed to run a company good things happen. It’s when they run companies that it all goes to shit.
@@Bob_Smith19 I told a friend of mine that Accountants can't run companies just before he started his first accounting job. 6 months later he understood why.
@@Bob_Smith19 You could also replace "accountants" with "marketing". Selling or telling the story has unfortunately has become more important than product in most of modern life, far more than just automotive.
@@Bob_Smith19 Some of the largest best-run companies in the UK (FTSE100 companies) have CEOs who are Chartered Accountants. Put your silly prejudices away. All professions (doctors, lawyers, architects) have poor members among them, as do accountants. But the best accountants really are business geniuses.
No screens! Respect Bugatti 👏 👏 👏
It's a stunningly beautiful car. The vents around the lights just look superb, the way it directs air. The V16, so rare. But those dials are just incredible; a timeless look.
An interesting question is which one between this and the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50? Two cars that pull you in different directions.
Why not add the Valkyrie into that question? Because as Alonso found out, it breaks down within an hour. If that was the only one I'd seen of that happening it would be one thing, but there's been many reports. Harry's Garage would need to add a four post lift and employ a few mechanics to test one!
Both the Valkyrie and the T50 are too noisy (the Valk is worst, of course). In f I had the money my choice would be the Tourbillon or a Jesko or Gemera. The Valkyrie, the AMG One, the Czinger 21C and the T.50 have superb performance but sacrifice too much comfort to be driven daily. The T50 in iddle sounds like a fighter jet, push a bit the gast and soulds like a spinning washer. The others are even worse, closer to a concrete mixer. In the Chiron and the Jesko you go from 100 to 300 in a snap and you barely hear the noise of the wind, the tires or even the engine: they are like being sit in a comfy, luxurious sofa in the living room of a mansion. Yes, a large motor revving is exciting, but check the Top Gear review of the Valkyrie in road: is less than 20 minutes, yet you can feel the start of a headache... Spent two weeks in those cars and your your ears will start to bleed...
@@Buran01 That the Valkyrie needs "cans" for the driver and passenger tells you it's not a road car. It's a track car with number plates; never going to be comfortable.
T.50 videos I've seen it's ok inside. You're not wearing ear defenders! Unfortunately, the T.50 I was supposed to see running wasn't able to that day. Door catch problem apparently.
As for the others, I couldn't say as I've not seen videos on them. The Tourbillion doesn't even exist yet in a car that can be driven; still a lot of development still to do.
Only Harry can give such detailed and meaningful video for such pinnacle of automotive industry! Thank you Harry!
Finally, a car to give the new Vauxhall Astra GS a run for it's money......
LOL😅
Thank you for showing us this, Harry! I agree: this is celebration of engineering art: a pinnacle of automotive engineering.
Smash it harry some youtubers cant manage one a week and has for a certain youtuber 3 week and still no where near the qualith of this channel has ive said before car youtubers this is how to make a video and thats why people continue to watch the channel whilst unsubscribing from yours
The production values are good but the cameraman needs a new image stabilizer. The follow through the room was a bit shaky, Bourne films style.
True masterpiece!
If Bugatti and Gordon Murray don’t see any merit in ditching the ICE just yet, then neither do I.
Your remark is noted.
ICE ICE Baby 🕺
its hybrid
@@Lemingtona-x5g Hybrid-ish!!. People wont be buying it for the electric motors, it keeps some happy but they are a distraction, & some will fall for it!!
Gota love them engines 😍
I'm using a big V12 for my project 😆
14:56 that dashboard cluster is just beautiful 😍
00:18 "We're at Bugatti, Bolide it or not."
Wow what an automotive marvel. Thanks for making this kind of really special content.
The negatives : price , the wheels are horrendous on this one , the styling is off....Positives : V16 , interior very special , power and performance.....Good vid.
Absolutely sublime. Thanks, Harry, for taking us along with you on this journey and inside Bugatti headquarters to see this incredible machine. Truly, the stuff dreams are made of 😍
They haven't removed/improved the snout.
Ha ha ha.
"Snout"
(But that is true)
as mentioned in my 'contribution' Bugatti have to forget the Pig's snout before they make anything elegant.
@@MrVorpalsword They use a rampant Elephant as logo.
@@Buran01 but primarily the horseshoe radiator
Absolutely loving the Countach videos, but you've absolutely smashed it out the park with this one Harry, top stuff and thank you 👏
Can’t wait to get mine!! Apparently I’m a direct descendant of a Nigerian Prince. So, as soon as the government over there cashes my cheque (for admin fees), I’ll be in that showroom speccing mine up!
You too? Damn. We're very fortunate 😊 I'll spec mine in Nigerian racing... I'm not sure what colour that is, but it's invisible
WOW , just total WOW , Funniest thing for me was when you showed the car accelerating ,(at 15.20) I watched the fuel gauge move down from 1/2 full to 1/3 full in such a short time. Amazing car , thanks for the tour and video.
