Why Buy A Bugatti Centodieci When You Can Have This F-16 Fighter Jet For Less?
Why Buy A Bugatti Centodieci When You Can Have This F-16 Fighter Jet For Less?-June 2024

Well not this F-16 exactly, but supposedly one similar

The $8,878,800 (plus tax!) list price of the really makes you think. The fact that there’s a market for such a preposterous toy is a pretty clear indicator that some people are too rich. Then again–why would you park among peasants in one of these when I could hook you up with an F-16 jet for less?

But actually–I was trawling Facebook thinking about Bugattis mere moments ago when I saw jet for sale in Palm Beach, Florida with an asking price of $8,500,000. (Call Russ if you want it, but I bet he knows what he’s got.)

“One is from the future and looks like it’s from the ’80s,” my colleague Raphael Orlove observed. And “the other is from the ’80s and looks like the future.” Indeed, the Centodieci is an homage to the Bugatti EB110, borrowing some of its design elements and ostensibly supposed to be just as epic.

The airplane ad is hilariously vague, but I guess you’d have to know what you’re looking at to be in the market for a fighter jet anyway. As to whether or not it’s a good deal, well, the U.S. government is from the Bulgarian government for eight F-16s, so $208,750,000 apiece. Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and guess that that one in Flordia needs a little more than an A/C recharge.

Be that as it may, it’d still be a more baller accessory sitting in your garage than a nearly-nine million dollar Bugatti. As long as you have a really big garage. Or, like, a theme restaurant to park it in.

but it’s not as user-friendly.

Hat tip to Leo!

All The Crazy Engineering Details That Make The 2019 Porsche Cayenne Actually Fascinating
Last month, Porsche flew me to Düsseldorf for the Porsche Cayenne Technology Workshop, where engineers in classrooms taught me detailed technical minutiae about what’s good on the new . The whole thing was extremely German, and that’s a very good thing. Here’s what I learned. Porsche’s money maker, the Cayenne,...

Today’s Pontiac may presently call the Motor City home, but its roots are really from down under. Let’s see if its price could have you getting down to brass tacks. The license plate on yesterday’s started with the letters “GRR” and that was apropos considering the response to the car’s...

The Honda Civic SiR Hatchback Deserves To Be Saved
I drive a lot of cars for work. So much so, that my personal car, a 2004 Honda Civic SiR—or just the Civic Si, if you’re American—is rotting away in press office parking lots covered in bird turds, fuel tank dried up, brakes all seized up. The poor thing just...

Growing Up With The Fiat Everyone Warns You About
Before Fiat married Chrysler it was just Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, but most people probably would have told you it stood for this: “Fix It Again, Tony.” My dad took this as a personal challenge and adopted a 1979 Spider 2000 in the ’90s. The car’s still in the family....

Today’s ‘Stang as no A/C or heat. That may limit its attraction outside of the temperate zone, but we’ll still have to decide if it’s a car that’s cool enough that you might warm up to its price. So, last Friday’s had unidirectional wheels that—like opportunistic sex partners—went both ways....

Today’s is incredibly clean for a car with over 200K on the clock. Let’s find out if it’s priced to clean out your wallet. Ford’s Fox Body Mustang has long been the bargain basement performance option with enough cheap aftermarket parts available to keep that performance going for years to...
