Coolest Bug' I've ever seen! Bugatti that is 
One of my co-workers comes and gets me and says "come check out this car and tell me what it is". So I walk out and my jaw hits the floor. I'm like "HOLY SH*T!" We go out to check it out and this lady I recognize is talking to some guys about it. Then it hits me, she is with Car & Drivers online division which is right down the street. So I start talking to her and tell her I'm buying them all lunch if I get to go for a ride. She was cool as hell about it and then the guy with her comes out but had already gotten his food
She tells him whats up and says "How about you get us lunch another day" and throws him the key and says go ahead! HE WON"T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I understand he wasn't comfortable with strangers being in this particular car but damn I was close. She was cool as hell though so maybe I at least have an in in the future. That thing was unbelievable though, truly a gorgeous piece of machinery. And the sound of it ? 
I only wish I would have had the 20D with me.

For real! Though by the time I figured out how to start the damn thing I would have been done. It would have been sweet to jump on I94 and open her up, could have made it to Chi-town in 2 damn hours!

The problem would be actually getting anywhere with it. I'm pretty sure those things go through a hellacious amount of gas on WOT. Heres an example, lol.

Just looked up some facts, 7mpg city and 10mpg highway. Hope you got some gas cans with ya, lol. At full throttle, it uses more than 115 L/100 km (2.46 mpg imp/2.05 mpg US), which would empty its 100 L (26 US gal/22 imp gal) fuel tank in just 12 minutes 46 seconds.

As far as looks go there is a lot more to it than pictures suggest. When looking at it in person on the street you notice a lot of subtle detail, such as the body lines and curves. This thing is packaged real tight and compact but from a front 3/4 angle you realize that it is a really wide car. The brakes are HUGE. I even got on the ground to try and look underneath but the car is so damn low. Not much to see other than the belly pan though. For me though the most striking feature is the interior -more like a fine piece of art than an automobile.

a true masterpeice. I saw one in a dealer in chicago and bragged about it being so much different in person.
Have a look at the mesh and radiators inside the gills and ****. perfection all the way through. it blows all other cars out of the water especially with attention to detail and interior.
