This is the world's most expensive and fastest production car ever made. Dedicated to the Bugatti Atlantique 57S from the 1930's, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h, Sang Noir's most obvious features is an all-black exterior featuring exposed carbon fibre sections.

Personally, I think it looks like crap.
Especially the front end that makes it look like a "Go Bot"

As for performance, I can't even begin to do everything my Z06 is capable of on public roads so it seems well, something to sell to niche super wealthy for bragging rights.

Why not just encrust a Toyota Corolla in diamonds? LOL.

Had to look up the cost. And, they only talk about the aluminum wheels, mirrors, grill, headlight, and upholstry. For $1 million, this thing had better have Space Shuttle boosters for a motor.

Agree...fairly underwhelming engineering by VW....even lacks modern safety features like head/side airbags....any monkey can engineer speed...much more difficult to balance performance w/superior safety engineering and daily-useability/reliability....

Many >>$200K cars are amusingly weak from an engineering/driving dynamics standpoint vs various new, relatively cheap $200K Mercedes AMGs and Porsches....

I never liked the new Bugattis. They have all been ugly. Fast...yes, but ugly.

Eh.. I'd still take a McLaren F1, Ferrari F50 or Enzo, TVR Speed 12, or Porsche 911 GT2 over a Bugatti. Yeah, it's fast. Yeah, it's a quad-turbo W16 AWD powertrain. I'm just not a fan of the styling.. and that interior color looks like vomit. Someone will come out with a faster car in a year or two anyway, so I'd rather have something that looks good when it's not #1 in pure speed anymore.
