Proves how much the world has changed. In the 1959 the fastest 4 door in the world was a Mark 2 Jaguar, which normal people could just about afford, now how much is that thing?

Hate the rear looks like a Porsche Panamera, interior though does look exquisate. I have no doubt that it will be built, but man if I had that money, id just buy a Jaguar XJR or a Rolls, and get myself a plane, luxury yacht, or an Aston Martin with the change.

There is a lot to Rave about this car - wouldn't mind to drive it if I ever had the oppurtunity.
However with all Honesty I could have my Own Personalised Fastest Falcon/Sedan in the world with half the Money.
As for the Interior I would ask my Grand-Pa for his Opinion - If he likes it then I'll get him one.

i love it except for the chrome and the 8 exhaust outlets.
I love the interior, so Bugatti.

Although looks like Brabus have released a new speed demon, the new EV12

Now that's ugly.

Just as ugly as the Veyron, couldn't care how fast it is. As rich as I'm 'unlikely' ever to be it's one ugly car I would never buy.

Totally agree, because Bugatti makes the Veyron, everyone thinks this car looks good. If it was a Citroen C6, and looked exactly like that, with a 3L V6 - everyone would be vomitting when they saw this.
When people judge designs, very rarely do they ignore the badge and what is under the hood.

I prefer the Veyron.
For me the veyron is gorgeous because of the technical specs in the package, not aesthetically. This car whilst sharing heritage with the Veyron does not really float my boat.

Agreed with the Panamera lookalike.

Ugly from every angle and from the inside (possibly the worst interior I've seen on an obscenely priced car) - I'll stick with the Veyron.

Well thank you for explaining how my thought process works, for nigh on 50 years i thought when i liked the look of something, you know, derive a little pleasure from admiring something.....that it was my own personal decision making process working to tell me whether i liked it or not....but all along i am the same as "everyone" else and it is just the badge, or the book cover or how much makeup she is wearing, not whats inside....god i feel so shallow....

I could not care less if it had the "Great Wall" badge on it, i like the thing....

Tip for the day....Do not pidgeon hole people!!!!

the chrome is overdone, way overdone

i actually dont mind the interior, simple but still functional.... just done in the wrong colours

imagine, light charcoal roof liner, charcoal floor carpet, black dash with carbon fibre cluster trim, black leather steering wheel, black door panels, kick panels.... white leather seats with grey triming........ yes please

and that sort of car... id want the back to make just as much of a statement than the front...... thats all your gonna see of it :P
