I’m a believer in iron BBK supremacy, but it does add weight: ~17.4 lb of unsprung mass to the front axle. Going from the iron BBK to carbon ceramics drops 25.8 lb of unsprung rotating mass not including the rears.

Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac said the supercar market is entering its “Swiss watch phase,” with the wealthiest buyers rejecting high-tech electronics and electric vehicles in favor of precision mechanics and hand-crafted details.
Rimac, the 38-year-old EV entrepreneur who took over Bugatti in 2021, said the car market is splitting in two: The mainstream global car market is becoming dominated by lower-priced EVs, many from China, while the very top of the car market will be driven by wealthy buyers who want more old-school cars with loud internal combustion engines and emotional appeal.

I retract my previous post. I’ve since found of that the buyer is a really lovely 87yr old guy called Herbie Wertheim. The only other Ferrari he has is the $26m Daytona SP3 from last year. He doesn’t want to die with his $5bn so is trying to give as much to charity as he can. ✌️

Singer Vehicle Design and French fashion house have combined their powers for a pair of decadent custom 911s.
For more than a decade now, the talented crew at Singer has been whipping up some of the world’s most remarkable restomodded—or as the builder prefers to call it, reimagined—Porsche 911s. Unlike many a shop, Singer sticks fairly tightly to its winning formula: it only uses 964-generation cars, and avoids the wretched excess and over-the-top designs that characterize too many custom builds. That elegant formula has won it plenty of fans in the luxury world—and, as it turns out, made it an ideal partner for Louis Vutton.

FYI: If you live in the U.S. and want to use the $7,500 federal EV credit, you must take delivery of an eligible EV by Sept 30, 2025 — simply placing an order by that date is not enough. Starting October 1, 2025, that $7,500 credit is officially & completely gone.

The sooner you realize that you're imposing limits on your own car enthusiasm, the sooner you can enjoy more cars for what they are.
