The Bugatti Chiron is a mid-engine two seater sports car made by the French auto-manufacturer Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S., which is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. It’s called a mid-engine sports car because it’s engine is placed in between the rear and front axles, behind the passenger seats. The Chiron is a successor to the first car Bugatti created, the Veyron. The Chiron is modeled after Bugatti’s 2015 concept car, the Vision Gran Turismo. It has a 16 cylinder engine with four turbo chargers strapped to that beast and puts out 1,479 horse power. For you out there that don’t know car engines, that’s kind of a lot. It goes 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and can go from 0-124 mph in just 6.5 seconds. If you can’t understand all this confusing car lingo, it means it’s pretty freaking fast. In 2017, the Chiron set the world record at the time reaching 249 mph in just 32.6 seconds. It also took the car 9.2 seconds to stop completely. For the regular “Joe-Schmo” who buys this car, Bugatti electronically limited the top speed for 233-236mph, unless they get their hands on a special key.

The Pininfarina Sergio Ferrari is one of the most exclusive cars to own in the world. Ferrari only made six of them so far and only for customers they specifically handpicked. Technically, it’s still a concept car that was first made and presented in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show. The car is a tribute to the former chairman of the company and automotive designer, Sergio Pininfarina, who passed away in 2012. The design is inspired by the first concept car Sergio designed, the 1965 Ferrari Dino. The Pininfarina Sergio Ferrari original concept car doesn’t have a roof, a windshield or side mirrors. But it does include two super dope helmets for the riders. But the ones Ferrari built for the road had to have a windshield and side mirrors to make it street legal. Ferrari also added on a removable hardtop.

Even though the Bugatti Chiron has a more powerful engine, a Mansory Vivere is more sought after by collectors. A special variant of the Veyron Mansory Vivere was produced and called the Veyron Linea Vivere. Bugatti only built two of them. The price for one these cars hasn’t not been listed yet.
