The panda Bugatti Chiron we talked about last month has flown to Europe and is causing quite the stir this summer. One of these costs about 3 million euros, but in the latest supercar spotter video, the owner doesn't show the appropriate amount of concern.
Have you ever scraped the nose of your car just as you were about to arrive at your local car meet? A couple of people giving you "the look" is something that can't be forgotten in a hurry.

It's not that bad of a scratch, and if it were a Honda Civic, you would probably leave it like that. But detailing a car like the Chiron costs more than your paintjob.

You have to wonder what all those people gathered are thinking during the Bugatti's impromptu rhinoplasty. I bet some of the ladies are saying to themselves "see, this is why I love Range Rovers, like the one right behind." While the folks who know Bentley doesn't make Range Rovers are probably contemplating their life decisions. But hey, we can't all live like rock stars!

In any case, the panda Chiron has been all over the place, including London. We've got videos of that added at the bottom if you want to check out all the gorgeous carbon fiber trim.

This particular 1,500 horsepower hypercar is owned by Yazeed Al-Rajhi, who's done a bit of racing over the years. Even though it's stock, this will remain a jaw-dropping machine for years to come: 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 261 mph (420 km/h), despite weighing a smidge under two tons.

We didn't have time to check on the Veyron's ownership, but it's probably not owned by the same fellow. Sure, the model is old news, but it used to cost over 2 million euros when new, being the Super Sport version and all.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
