This car is a legend...its not supposed to be comfortable. It is more of an Icon in the racing (FIA/ Lemans class). The Bugatti wouldn't hold a candle to at the track or in accomplishments.

Regardless, I still don't like it... Legendary or not...

Everyone has a Bugatti... this is something special. You will NEVER see a douchebag like Tom Cruise doing a 5 point turn, and then not being able to open the door in this car.

The CLK GTR single handedly shut down a race series. I mean that all the other car makers quit because the they couldn't hang with the CLK GTR

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong car, but didn't the CLK-GTR & LM blow up in almost every race they were in? (and won the races where it DIDN'T blow up)

You clearly don't follow racing closely enough to know what this car is. Your comments are similar to complaining about how uncomfortable Michael Schumacher's Ferrari '04 F1 car would be. The members here pissing themselves over this car understand its history and don't want it b/c of its comfort or driveability Enjoy your Bugatti

Maybe you didn't pay attention to how many of them were made (and that this was the ONLY one made in Black). Compare that to the Veyron (which is a very cool car, for different reasons). You sir, are being a douche, quit it. I have teens in my house that behave with more maturity than you do, go take your souped up Civic and play Fast and Furious somewhere.

According to TV show 5th Gear, It won all 12 races it was in.

Look, I don't care about the racing heritage/legacy of this car! I am speaking on a cosmetic level! I don't care for the looks of the car! That is my opinion. If you like it, good for you! That is your opinion! I could care less about how many of them were made! I could care less if it could beat a Bugatti! I could care less if it could beat a Porsche Carrera GT! The fact remains, I don't like the looks of it! As I stated... To ME, it looks like a 12-year old was trying to design a widebody kit for the CLK! And I don't care how many Bugatti's were made, I would much rather have the Bugatti than this piece of crap!

This says it all. I think this is precisely why members here are giving you such a hard time. You're not a racing enthusiast, yet you own an AMG, which puts you in a small group of owners on this forum who have no idea about the heritage of their great car maker. Fair enough, but it's too bad.

It looks the way it does because this thing was designed, engineered, and built to be a race car.

So then press the back button and leave. No need to spew your worthless comments about Bugatti's and Porsche's here.

While I think the car is interesting looking, I completely see your point and am not bothered at all by your loathing of it. I don't know why others can't see your point. Maybe their view is blocked by the widebody kit.

These 3 little words kill your argument and make you look foolish, because clearly the car is not a piece of crap, by any measure of performance except perhaps fuel efficiency.
