Introducing: The Buyachti

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.

So how much does it cost? Well, Palmer Johnson will only share that on request. Only 66 units will ever be made, so not every single Chiron owner will be lucky enough to have own

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.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
