Gallery: This is What Over 9,000HP Worth Of Bugattis Looks Like

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

With pre-war Grand Prix cars, championship-winning F1 cars and high-dollar supercars moseying around, it’s hard to make an impression at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

If there’s an automaker that knows how to turn heads, though, it’s Bugatti. The purveyor of 1,000+ horsepower hypercars showed up to this year’s edition of the annual celebration of speed with seven Veyrons and two Chirons – which together produce a staggering 9,404 horsepower.

The Veyrons in attendance are a good representation of the model. There are six early run Veyron 16.4s, one of which is a pre-series car from 2005, along with a Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition and a Veyron Vitesse. One of the two Chirons is the first customer car for the UK, while the other, which will be running up the hill during throughout the weekend in the Supercars category, came directly from Bugatti’s category in Molsheim.

Be sure to tune into the Goodwood Festival of Speed live stream this weekend to see the Chiron and the rest of the supercars in action at the annual Hillclimb event.

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...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
