$17,000 for tires that last 6k miles is insane. As they said though, your basically paying for the one-off R&D machine Michelin had to build just for these tires.
They are huge too.... ![]() |

They lied about the DCT. Bugatti wasn't the first to make one, and they didn't even make it themselves.

Pretty amazing what goes into making a single car. Hand layering the cooler fins etc.

i think they didn't explain it well enough, DCT's have been around since before WWII and Porsche used the first one in the 80's and VW used the first production one in '03, but Ricardo built the first one to manage the Veyron's torque.
