00:02 Hi there.
00:02 15 years ago, Bugatti shocked the world
00:05 by introducing the $1 million,
00:07 1,001 horsepower, 253 mile per hour Veyron.
00:11 Then they cut the roof off it
00:12 and called it the Grand Sport.
00:13 Then they added 200 horsepower,
00:15 raised the top speed to like 268 or something goofy,
00:18 and called it the Super Sport.
00:19 Then they cut the roof off the Super Sport
00:22 and it became the Vitesse.
00:24 Now, this particular Vitesse is particularly interesting
00:28 because it used to belong to some guy named
00:30 Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:32 That's right, the Governator.
00:33 Imagine him cruising around Hollywood
00:35 and this thing puffing on a cigar.
00:37 I'm not gonna do that, but I am gonna drive it
00:39 and I am gonna have a lot of fun.
00:41 (upbeat music)
00:43 Driving the Bugatti Vitesse.
00:52 (laughs)
00:54 I mean, there's just nothing else like this car.
00:57 You know, typically you wanna start off the review
00:59 and you'll talk about the engine
01:01 and you'll say, "Oh yeah, well, in this case,
01:02 "eight liters, four turbochargers, 1200 horsepower,
01:07 "more torque than a rhinoceros."
01:09 But that's not what's important.
01:13 What's important is the noise this engine makes,
01:18 which is, you know, one of the coolest engines
01:21 in the history of the world.
01:22 And with the roof off,
01:25 (engine revving)
01:28 I mean, forget about the fact that I just went from like,
01:32 you know, 10 to 80 miles an hour like that.
01:35 It's like a steam factory is going off behind my head.
01:40 It's crazy, I mean, it's like four blow off valves,
01:43 like, you know, whoosh, whoosh.
01:44 (engine revving)
01:47 Nothing like that intake noise, just (imitates engine revving)
01:52 just insanity.
01:54 And what's so cool is, you know, because the roof's off,
01:59 unlike the regular Supersport, same engine and everything,
02:03 you can actually hear it.
02:04 So I think this one is like so much cooler
02:07 because, you know, the new Chiron, which, yeah, okay,
02:10 1500 horsepower, that's 300 more.
02:13 I don't know how much of a difference 300 horsepower makes
02:15 and, you know, you kinda, everyday average life,
02:18 maybe a lot, maybe really nothing
02:19 unless you're going over 200 miles an hour,
02:21 which you're never doing.
02:22 But, you know, the Chiron, that's a fixed roof.
02:27 They're never gonna make a version
02:29 where the roof comes off.
02:31 I'm thinking in many years, like, you know, the year 2050,
02:35 I hope I'm still around,
02:37 if we're on the lawn at Pebble Beach
02:41 and there's a, you know, Veyron class,
02:44 the Chirons,
02:49 they're gonna be cool,
02:50 but they're not gonna be anywhere near special.
02:53 (laughing)
03:00 As this thing, man, no way.
03:03 This is it.
03:04 Man, Mr. Schwarzenegger,
03:08 how the hell did you sell this thing?
03:10 Unbelievable, just unbelievable.
03:15 (laughing)
03:17 Absolute work of art, just an absolute jewel of a car.
