Bugatti Popping Bottles with Champagne Carbon

What goes better with expensive super-luxury cars than other super-luxury goods? Nothing. Which is why Bugatti and Champagne Carbon have combined to bottle a special Bugatti bubbly. And they’re both local companies, both coming from France’s Grand Est region.

“We are thrilled to have the chance to begin an adventure with Bugatti. At the crossroad of tradition and modernity, excellence and technology, Bugatti never makes compromises. We feel the same about our Champagne”, said Alexandre Mea, CEO of Champagne Carbon.

The ƎB.01 champagne will be a blend of 90 percent Chardonnay and 10 percent Pinot Noir grapes. The vintage comes from 2002, which was a time when Bugatti was still working on stunning the world with the Veyron. It was also an exceptional year for grapes. So we’re told. Our staff can tell you the differences between 10 different vintages of the same car, but this isn’t quite in our wheelhouse.

Champagne Carbon rose to prominence last year when it started supplying the sparkling to Formula 1. Their bottles are coated in a layer of real carbon fiber, though the bottles themselves are still glass and the standard shape due to laws regarding what is and what isn’t Champagne.

And while the two brands want you to know how well they compliment each other with synergy and probably shared values and all of that jazz, we (and they) want to remind you that though the brands pair well, drinking and driving do not. So don’t do that.

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 ...
