Introducing: The Buyachti

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

If you thought the Bugatti Chiron was impressive, this yacht is going to blow your mind.

Palmer Johnson has introduced the Bugatti Niniette 66 luxury yacht, inspired by the Chiron inside and out. And like Bugatti vehicles, buyers can customize the Niniette 66 with a countless selection of materials, colors and finishes. According to Palmer Johnson, the Niniette 66 achieves a speed of 44 knots or about 50 mph with efficiency and amazing comfort, with the super slim hull providing higher speeds with lower input power and fuel burn.

The standard configuration features a Man V8 engine with 16.2 liters of displacement and providing 1,000 horsepower. If that isn’t good enough for you, there’s a 1,200-hp engine option to give a top speed of 48 knots or about 55 mph.

But it’s the luxurious cabin that should catch your eye. The modern styling is heavily inspired by Bugatti vehicles, with carbon fiber throughout along with exotic wood finishes. There’s a hot tub onboard along with a fire pit and champagne bar.

The name comes from the Niniette speedboat Bugatti built in 1930, a nickname for Ettore Bugatti’s youngest daughter.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
