How to Make 1500 HP Hypercars a Sound Investment

Pssst! Hey! Yeah, you! We’ve got an investment tip for you. It can’t fail, we promise.

All you need to do is go back in time, save up $3.3 million, and get on the order sheet for the Bugatti Chiron. You’ll want to be early on the list. Then, after you’ve driven your 1,500 hp, 8.0L W16-powered Chiron for about 1,300 miles, put it up for sale. You know, lightly used, all original, only driven to 261 mph on Sundays. Then you’ll make bank.

That’s what the owner of this Chiron has done. It’s the first used Chiron to be offered up for sale in the UK, and it’s expected to give the owner a nearly $1.3 million profit. After just four months of ownership. And it could deliver even more. That’s because it hasn’t actually sold yet.

Sure, prospective Chiron owners could still get on the list for a brand new one, but there’s currently a three or four year wait list. Pick up this one, and you could be Chir-unning around your neighbourhood tomorrow.

The first Chiron for sale in the UK is at dealer Romans International, sitting alongside such pedestrian motors as a 2007 Veyron, 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, and an Aston Martin Vantage GT8.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
