I hope forum member Gothard wasn't involved.

I once drove a Bruschetta all the way down into my stomach. I washed it down with a Nebiolo.

If the Swiss authorities suspect an illegal street race this may get painful for the drivers, even for those able to afford a Chiron

A street legal car capable of 260 MPH - what could go wrong :cool:

Well, at least the Porsche looks totaled...

Doubt it...
According to an article the guy in the Chiron tried to pass the Porsche and an RV in front of them.
911 driver didn't pay attention and pulled out as well...

Chiron guy: "Oh well, I guess tomorrow I'll have to drive the R8."

You'd need a very good lawyer and a diplomatic passport if you do that in Switzerland, also a gas station every 8 MInutes :D

At least they'd be nicely spaced out: ( 8 / 60 ) x 260 = 34.667 miles

I'm thinkin' his insurance premium might go up a bit. Not that he'd notice.

If we assume an ideal spacing of service stations and average tank stop length of also 8 minutes, that reduces your travel speed to a moderate 130mph. That is what my diesel VW does as well. The pinnacle of engineering that Bugatti is!

Obviously a case of trickle down technology since VW owns Bugatti!
