  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

The new Bugatti Chiron.

The follow-up to the Veyron and more extreme in every way. Still has the 8 litre W16 (Four rows of four cylinders) engine, quad turbos but now pumping out an incredible 1,500 hp!
0-100 kph in a mere 2.5 seconds, 0-200 kph in 6.5 seconds... Speedo goes all the way to 500 kph (312 Mph), but the real topspeed is 460 kph or 288 mph. Production models are limited to just 420 kph (263 mph) probably due to tire limitations.

Production limited to 500, with over a third already sold. Price? €2.4/$2.6 million...







 
It is definitely special, but I'm not sure I really like it :dizzy:. But I don't need to worry as its a bit above my budget as well.......

There's no way I could ever afford one too Huub, but I do appreciate the technical tour de force required to build a car like that. Anyone can create a car with stellar performance but making it perfectly usable in everyday traffic is something else.
 
Does absolutely nothing for me, it's just f-ugly no matter what angle you look at it from both inside and out.
 
Right with you Tako_Kichi!:encouragement:
I've never been impressed with this car and the 'styling' is an insult to the Bugatti heritage and in this case, to the memory of Louis Chiron.
Cynical marketing exercise aimed at the 'Oil Rich' Middle Eastern moguls.

Agreed, but (there's always a 'but') it really proves the point that unlimited funding and a free hand on the engineering side of a project is how to reach this end result.
