HOW MUCH?

There are not many supercars in New Zealand, probably because they are a bit on the expensive side, and our ever deteriorating roads would totally munt them in no time flat. But I started wondering, if I was filthy rich, and in the market for some racy looking bling, how much would a new 2024 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Red Dragon cost?

It turns out the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Red Dragon 2024 Price in New Zealand is NZ$ 9,020,000 (US$5,500,000)

 

 "Bugatti has just unwrapped its latest masterpiece, the bespoke Chiron Super Sport named ’Red Dragon,’ and it’s an absolute showstopper. Adorned in a mesmerizing red-hued carbon fiber finish, Bugatti has spared no effort in ensuring that every inch of this hypercar exudes sheer luxury and opulence.

The Red Dragon flaunts subtle Nocturne exterior accents, accompanied by sleek black-painted lightweight five-spoke wheels that seamlessly blend with the understated Super Sport stripes, cleverly concealing vibrant red brake calipers. The exterior is a symphony of design, a testament to Bugatti’s commitment to perfection.

Inside the cockpit, the elegance continues with Blanc (white) seats and door panels harmoniously paired with meticulously handstitched Hot Spur contrasting details and Beluga Black carpets. This meticulous attention to detail extends to the dash and door tops, creating a visually striking and athletically inspired contrast that elevates the interior to a level of unmatched sophistication.

The Red Dragon isn’t Bugatti’s first venture into the world of red-tinted carbon fiber; a similar aesthetic was employed in the Pur Sport Grand Prix unveiled just last year. The integrated headrests boast contrasting ’Chiron Super Sport’ embroidery, and even the rear-view mirror is color-matched to the striking exterior hue. Overall, it stands as one of the most captivating Super Sports to date, a remarkable feat considering the array of jaw-dropping releases from Bugatti in recent months.

Underneath its bespoke exterior, the Red Dragon retains the powerhouse that is the 8.0-liter W16 quad-turbo motor, delivering an astonishing 1,578 horsepower and a tire-shredding 1,180 lb-ft of torque. The elongated rear end, 9.84 inches longer than a regular Chiron, not only contributes to a more graceful aesthetic but also enhances stability at high speeds, achieving a 40% reduction in aerodynamic stall. Consequently, the Super Sport effortlessly reaches a top speed of 273 mph, an impressive feat by any measure.

In the case of the Red Dragon and similar bespoke Bugatti creations, customers collaborate with the Sur Mesure department to tailor every detail to their precise preferences. The exclusivity of Bugatti is highlighted by instances like a wealthy couple commissioning matching Super Sports. However, for those who haven’t secured their Chiron yet, the window has closed, with all units spoken for. Yet, for the less discerning, the secondhand market may still unveil opportunities, such as the recent discovery of a rare Super Sport 300+, expected to fetch a staggering $5.5 million. Bugatti has capped the production of Super Sports at 80 units, while the even more exclusive Super Sport 300+ is limited to just 30 units, ensuring that these automotive masterpieces remain rare gems on the roads." 

 

The Most Dangerous Superstition

This is a book that I haven't read yet but am planning to read very soon. As a reminder, Dr Tom Cowan recommended it in his latest podcast this week. 

 

Something I often think about when reading posts by people who want to try to get "the government" to change things, is that I have no faith whatsoever in "government" or in the process of trying to change anything by attempting to work within their systems. 

 

I think the NZ "government" is just a lowly division of the globalist scum, who run everything entirely in their interests, against the interests of NZ. But we have all been programmed to believe that we must have a "government", and that we must submit to it. And that is the Dangerous Superstition.

The Most Dangerous Superstition (2011) - by Larken Rose

 

"When someone looks out at the world and sees all manner of suffering and injustice, stretching back for thousands of years and continuing today, he invariably blames such problems on someone else's hatred, greed, or stupidity. Rarely will someone consider the possibility that his own belief system is the cause of the pain and suffering he sees around him. But in most cases, it is. The root cause of most of society's ills--the main source of man's inhumanity to man--is neither malice nor negligence, but a mere superstition--an unquestioned assumption which has been accepted on faith by nearly everyone, of all ages, races, religions, education and income levels. If people were to recognize that one belief for what it is--an utterly irrational, self-contradictory, and horribly destructive myth--most of the violence, oppression and injustice in the world would cease. But that will happen only when people dare to honestly and objectively re-examine their belief systems. "The Most Dangerous Superstition" exposes the myth for what it is, showing how nearly everyone, as a result of one particular unquestioned assumption, is directly contributing to violence and oppression without even realizing it. If you imagine yourself to be a compassionate, peace-loving, civilized human being, you must read this book."
