no, really, this car is just ..they bought the original 'bugatti' name (which was an italian artisan and artist of the motoring...), put a billion (german) euros in the project and built an out of the world car that will be driven by a handful of buyers only...it doesnt have much sense...(to me)

A little auto history. Thanks Panic, I didn't realize it was now German.
How much are they getting for one of them?
I spent some time in Naples and Rome in 1989.
Ciao

The original Bugatti Royale was quite a car. Kind of a cross between a Rolls Silver shadow with an early billit race motor. Engine looked like a refridgerator on it's side. 23' long I believe.

In the video he says the price is 850,000 pounds which equates to about $1.6m in hard-earned American (one pound = $1.95~),..about what a Hemi Cuda convertible is trading at. FWIW.
