Bugatti Automobiles

next year.

And for our odd news, a CEO of Bugatti ended up in a cross-border police chase in a Porsche 911 because someone stole his car.

So those are going to be our news in a while.

We'll be pausing for a quick commercial break, and then we'll play that brand new song from Lisa, and it's a track called Tarantino.

Let's visit the odd-sided town.

This time we're going to Croatia.

So the CEO of Hypercar Maker, Bugatti, mate?

I think it's Matej Rimac.

no.

Now, here is arguably one of the yarns of the year, where the top man of Bugatti, so he had his Bugatti stolen, and I don't know whether it's even turned up yet right across Europe.

It has.

It has? He's got it back.

He's got it back, so...

The CEO of Bugatti, he also owns Rimac.

His name is Mace Rimac.

His Chiron, which is, for those who don't know what a Chiron is, it replaced the Veyron as one of the world's fastest cars, 16 cylinders, quad turbos.

A Ukrainian player turned soldier says that is unacceptable.

Turnkey operation, the CEO of Bugatti shares the thrilling details of how his $4.6 million sports car was stolen and the less thrilling detail that he left the keys in it.

And a tsk, tsk it, a task it.

The new movie Wicker centers on a husband who is woven into being by a magic basket maker, and the real-life basket weaving community is showing what it's made of by complaining about what the wicker husband is made of.

I know what you're thinking.

Do I mean food trucks where you can get cool hot dogs, like hot dogs with fish and chips on them and then chili on the fish and chips? No, unfortunately.

Matej Rimac is the CEO of Bugatti, which makes fancy cars like the Chiron, which goes up to 420 kilometers per hour and costs somewhere around $4.6 million Canadian.

Recently, someone walked onto the Bugatti campus in Zagreb, Croatia, and drove off in Mr. Rimac's own Chiron.

Yes, yes.

He's the CEO of Bugatti.

Correct.

And he makes the Rimac electric super hypercars.

Hypercars, okay.

This guy came out and I literally wanted to give him a hug because he said, he goes...

Bugatti will never be electric.

I don't know if it was the shareholders or the board or someone said to him, we need an electric Bugatti.

You mentioned earlier about, you know, C9 can't be more tech and et cetera.

I am curious, as we're watching everything from, like, Bugatti and Mate Rimac, right, and what they're doing with their future cars, then we're watching what Ferrari's now currently doing.

Again, I know these are cars that cost more, but I'm curious, analog versus digital, right? Does C9 need to, I don't want to say walk back, I don't want to say revert back, but does it need to be more analog than today's C8? Does it need to...

D- are we going back to that point where people want more tactility and more engagement in terms of less screens, or, or is it not that way?

So yeah, I've seen some of what these folks do with their dashes, and it's like, wow, that is amazing.

It's like jewelry on the IP, and it looks really cool.

At the end of the day, though, to use a Corvette, and we sell so many of these versus, you know, the [laughs] handfuls of, like, Bugattis, a lot of the modern things you want out of your Corvette, you want to be able to type your home address in and have it figure out traffic for you on the way home, and a lot of, you know, the...

You still need it to be a useful car.
